[V8] Snow Adventures...and trouble

[Dave Head]

One of these days I need to have a long conversation with Scott Dewitt. 
I'm told that the hot ticket in 6 speeds is the DGT? 01E out of the euro 
TDIs. Mine has some light syncro issues and I would likely spring for 
one of those assuming it would be comparable to the rebuild cost on mine...

I guess in retrospect I should have left the car stock cause I drove it more the 1st month than I have since I started to "MOD" it. But,
