hmmm have you tried youtube or p-bucket? I usually finalize my videos using MS moviemaker.. shitty program but still works.

The wheels you have... how much a piece? I'm interested in 19"s (is there any for 18"?) I want to see also if this fits my dad's Benz (05/06 S430)so we could maybe swap from time to time.

[popp]

the wheels will fit on a benz, however the HR4's (mine) only come in a 19 or 20". Suggested list price is $450-$550 depending on size and finish but we sell for alot less........

I might sell mine before the end of the season and go with the HR3's for awhile........They are HAWT!

[2L_Dub_PimP]

B-A-L-L-A-H lol he's rocking my summer rims in the winter you just pushed the bar higher

Here we go..........

You won't get the full experience as if in person cause it was filmed on a sony compact camera, but you'll get the idea. After the horns sound, the noise in the backround is the compressor kicking in to pump the tank back up......Enjoy.

[ccollantes]

hahahahaha SWEET vid! I would love to have this when someone cuts me off! Pull up beside them then BAM! Hit the airhorn! lol

[Montis]

Hey, I live in Calgary aswell. Where is the location of that garage/hangar that you photographed your Passat?

[popp]

NW, center and 144th

[deusexaethera]

Looks nice.

[GC Lionel Mandrake]

VERY nice Patate. I'm envious cuz I really, really want a TDI wagon. Still thinking about doing a swap into my B5.

Also just swapped my horn to a twin trumpet Hella air horn. Yours sounds great!

[mrgreek2002]

^^^ SIK sticker popp!

[GC Lionel Mandrake]

Haha... cool. WHere can I get that sticker?

Also, where Can i get that shifter knob? I have a tip as well, and would LOVE to have that shift knob. Does the top of the shifter push in to actuate the gate lock?

[popp]

^^^ I had them custom made. I have a few more, what color would you like? I'd say $10-15 shipped for a couple if your interested.

Shift knob is a momo race air leather and you'll need the ssp tip mod. You pull up to actuate the shift lock.

[OEM++Variant]

Lovin your car, lookin good! Johnny we need to get the details and have a shifter mod day.

[GC Lionel Mandrake]

Popp, PM sent... Jay... You know it!

[popp]

Winters on.......bring on the snow!
