It has one of the funny US-made wannabe-German-plates

With such a 32B-Passat

I even drove "VDO"

Same speedo for the basic version, up to 200 km/h and without rev.counter.

It was my dad's car, a 1981 LS with the 1.6 liter-75 hp-engine, the manual 4-speed-gearbox, 165-tires and without catalytic converter.
The older it was, the faster it goes. The first time I was really shocked, when I drove full throttle down an Autobahn-hill and noticed the speedo-needle on the 190 km/h-bar
The offical max.speed is 164 km/h.
Of course I tried to get more every time I drove that car - and I was successful. Of course it was no real 220 km/h, but close to 200 km/h it was anyways.

With over 200.000 km on the clock, the Passat started to burn oil. I liked that, because there was a perfect trick to get rid of tailgaters (a serious problem on every German Autobahn:
Driving full throttle, at best downwards a hill, let the Bimmer or Benz coming closer, lifting up the gas pedal jerkingly, let the car roll for 1-2 seconds - and then make also jerkingly a kickdown: I couldn't see the car behind me any more, so thick was the blue cloud whiffing out of the exhaust

Years later I had an own 32B-Passat, a 1987 Variant GT as

(1.8 liter, 90 hp, manual 5-speed-gearbox, catalytic converter and 195-tires). There VDO-driving was not possible any more, even after we had emptied the catalysator.
