Temporary Membership to the Touareg Tribe

Been running a VW Touareg 2.5 TD Auto for the last couple of weeks until the road tax expires, so just two days to go! Which is a shame as it would have been great for my holiday in Scotland. You sit up nice and high in there and get to see all the scenery. With plenty of standard specification and technology surrounding the 4x4 power train, computerised hill-starts etc. It's also got durable and easy to keep clean full leather seats, which fold flat in the rear creating an absolute cavern in the back, as well as full screen DVD Sat Nav in the dashboard. That's all linked into a pretty impressive radio with ten speakers and good amplification.

A few people have said that a 2.5 isn't a big enough engine. Obviously they are hankering for a 5.0 V10 TD, (or even a Porsche Cayenne which is near identical) but the 2.5 TD has a sport mode in the auto box, but I haven't even used that and it still has a turn of speed when you let the kick-down operate.

There's some pictures of the car here. It's in really great condition and with 19200 miles hardly been used over it's two and three quarter year life.
