Ha!
I need to make one for the Biturbo. But I don't actually drive it. The engine I purchased has trashed valves on one head as well. I think the seller is making it right though.
You are not happy with Phaeton? (according to the last picture)
@Dave: I am very happy with my car. I'm still in the stage of the Titanic where everything is superb and the best. But inevitable in x months/years, it's gonna be an epic disaster. :)
I love my Phaetons! I have a V8 and just acquired a W12. The masses of the wanna-be's that clutter LA would never understand the concept of subtle luxury and their disparaging comments about the "lowly" VW speaks volumes about their own insecurities. If you're worried about repairs, get an extended warranty.
@Anon: Wow, two. That's awesome. To give you an idea of how under the radar the Phaeton is, I took it to valet parking last night. Instead of parking it next to the Bentley Flying Spur out front, they parked my VW in the back next to a Sentra.
