Anyone else love this Rabbit?

I love this car I found on German ebay.  Wheels are rubbish though….  Loving the graphic equalizer and the US bumpers and side markers.

Anyone like the US spec Rabbits??

really like that, and opening small windows on a cabby, not seen that before!

anyone know how much would it cost to bring something like that over from germany and register it ?

Someone please tell me what that back thing is tied to the underside of the bonet?

T'was thinking that myself, air-con? washer bottle? Goose egg poacher (using heat fron the engine)?? Went for less than £1,700 not a bad price I'd say  :dontknow:

me and mixer r round mine now thinking the same thing, it appears there is a space in the engine bay for it, for when bonnet is closed, some sort of filter ? i go with egg cooker

hmm looking at it closer there is 2 pipes coming of it …. further suggestions ……

I like!  8)

I'll have a look in my Bentley Manual tonight and see if I can spot the 'egg poacher', it looks like the pipe runs down and connects to the throttle body/inlet manifold.

I cant belive you guys dont know what that is! It is so obvious aswell! It is a tennis ball washer. Water is fed in through the pipe. The engine warmes the water and it get sloshed about when you go round corners giving the balls a good rinsing. When you arrive at the tennis court people compliment on how lovely your balls are. That is the main reason people buy these cars.

Ah, just realised I may be wrong. If people recall the comments regarding the AGM the potato wagon appeared to run out of baked spuds quickly sooooooooo because the cooking of potatoes under the bonnet is positively encouraged in Germany Bert has built a prototype and shipped it out there for stringent performance testing prior to fitting one to his Citi Bar-B-Q ready for Mk1 OC AGM 2011  :wink: He's also considering building another test model for Scotch eggs  :mrgreen:

Vacuum reservoir.  

And no, I don't like the US spec cars.  See them all the time and we all try to make ours look "Euro".

So it's the equivalent of the little green ball under my bonnet? Why is it so large?? Cue American jokes  :dontknow:

i really liked that, color nice too, fancy the small opening windows on mine too, look good (spec on m/way)
