Merle Haggard – Daddy Frank lyrics
(The Guitar Man)
Daddy Frank played the guitar and the french harp,
Sister played the ringing tambourine.
Mama couldn't hear our pretty music,
She read our lips and helped the family sing.
That little band was all a part of living,
And our only means of living at the time

Volkswagen Phaeton
jb317 Posts: 3Thanks vwguild,
I got my call from 'phaeton care' and they explained that you are correct. If I'd have bought the car in Europe or got one of the 'dozen' random models imported into the US I'd have RDS. With that installed I'd be able to read all the CD's. Once again US buyers of German cars get short changed! That said brilliant car! -
pluckon Posts: 12If I buy this car I don't care about the resale value because I'll have it essentially forever. All that will matter is how much I pay for it. So with that in mind, and with the car apparently being killed after 2006, can anyone advise me of a buying strategy? What are they going for now, and will there be "irrational" pricing on them at a later date?
bkpawsat Posts: 13I'm also on the lookout for a Phaeton bargain. Last Dec, the Virginia dealers were offering 04's, with 3000 demo models for about $53,000. VW had $10,000 plus $7000 in rebates to dealers that had three phaetons in stock. Given that they were so heavily discounted last year, I'm waiting to see what happens to the used 05's.
The Manheim wholesale auctions have many 04's selling for high $30's to low $40's. By the Spring, this car may be had used for $35,000 with low miles. Given that it will have terrible resale value, you'll have to get a great deal when you buy it and hold it for a long time. :shades: -
pluckon Posts: 12I see a 2004 W-12 with 12,500 miles advertised on Auto Trader.com for $50K. Some questions: Does anyone think this will get much lower? Are there any differences between the '04s, the '05s and the '06s? And what about the W-12? Is it a meaningful difference between it and the V-8, or is a W-12 sort of like a 100 millimeter cigarette?
paldi Posts: 210Drinks gas but marvelous engineering and bragging rights. But you can only tell the difference by popping the hood or looking at the twin tail pipes in back. 2004 - 2006 pretty much the same but '05 and '06 $20k more. (special discounts for 1st 300 W12s sold in '04)
Visit VWVortex Phaeton for answers to all your questions. -
paldi Posts: 210Not so fast! Wait until I have mine installed. I just got them last week. There are fitment issues in the spare tire well - with binding at the jack, the wiring harness and an air extraction vent. There is also a difference in the wheel hub of the Bentley relative to the Phaeton that needs to be carefully thought out but the bolt pattern is evidently the same at 5x112 - so they will "fit" if that's all you care about. The tires are almost an inch wider and 2/3 of an inch taller than stock. This could cause an issue with the speedometer and clearences may be tight, especially in front. Heck, they are still in my living room except for the spare that is stuck in the trunk. :confuse:
Sure looked pretty in the photoshop... but wait a bit until I'm sure - I haven't tried to mount one on my Phaeton yet. -
paldi Posts: 210If anyone else has tried this fitment, please let me know.
I am wondering if the Phaeton TPMS sensors will fit on the Bentley wheel and if the wider wheel and tire will necessatate a relocation of the TPMS antennas mounted on the Phaeton. The system has been tempermental and it's something you want to get right - else the alarm beep keeps going off. At present, my Phaeton doesn't recognize the Bentley spare tire that's in the trunk. I'm very confused about that. Also, will the Bentley TPMS sensors work with the Phaeton electronics? -
paldi Posts: 210Regarding the hub fitment concerns... I have been looking at the Bentley wheels you shipped and the Phaeton spare wheel I have - all sitting here in my living room.
There is a taper machined around the hole for the wheel hub on both wheels. The taper has an OD of 2 7/8" on the Phaeton wheel and 2 3/4 on the Bentley and then they taper down into the hub hole in the wheel. If this tapered area fits tightly over the Phaeton wheel hub, then the Bentley tire will ride up on it and not fit flush with the face of the hub.
Another issue is there is a recessed circular "key" about the diameter of a quarter around one bolt hole at the mounting face on each Bentley wheel. The Phaeton wheels don't have it. Might be a worry if fitting Phaeton wheels on a Bentley but should be OK the other way? Unless I'm missing something. The idea that there are difference is what is worrying. -
lowkeylux Posts: 4Hi all, I am new to this forum but it has ben EXTREMLY useful thus far. I am strongly considering purchasing a used 2004, V8 Phaeton, Nocturne Aubergine (burganday), Tan Interior, Comfort and Technology package. 12.5K miles and offered at 41,900 (I plan to offer lower). Any thoughts on the value ? How about future depreciation (although I don't expect to sell),
Thanks in advance -
lowkeylux Posts: 4Thanks, We have one dealer here (austin, Tx) that is "approved" to sell Phaetons. I don't know much about them but they have been around for awhile. Can any VW service them even if they don't sell them ? Has Service typically been a problem ?
I am increasingly impressed with all I am discovering about this vehicle. I am surprised it hasn't sold well. Goes to show how much stock people put into "badges".. -
lowkeylux Posts: 4I finally settled on a 2004 vehicle, its 42,500, Burgundy, Tan interior, 18,800 miles, Comfort and technology package, CPO with warrenty extended to 2010 or 74,000 miles.
It seems like a no brainer but I am concerned with Service. There is only one dealer in my area that services Phaetons, is there a sight or method I can get some opinion on this service dept ?
Thanks -
suave_tequila Posts: 116I cant believe VW actually came out with this car! I was being offered 95K if I'm correct. I like inside and out and was "VERY" disappointed with every thing about it! They tried to lower the price down to 75K since its doing SO BAD but I walked away and said "EWWW" an hour later I bought myself a Mercedes G55 AMG for 95K. My question is to every Pheaton owner out there, " What made you buy this car? And couldn't you have boughten some other (My opinion nicer) car? THANKS
lowkeylux Posts: 4I can't speak for new car purchases but in my opinion the Phaeton represents the BEST used car value out there. It is clear a marketing failure vs engineering or technology (sure there are some faults but I can't find one car it this class that doesn't have a few (some more than others)). It is a shame it won't be a platform that is continue to be improved but since the opportunity is there why not capitalize.
I have taken three friends to the local VW dealer to look at the Phaeton and each of them are not looking to buy one since you can get it less than 45K used (low mileage). It would not surprise me now that people are buying up the "deals" that Phaeton will have a spike in popularity before its death... -

What's with the low score??? This is a Clampett masterpiece. In fact, one of the many masterpieces he churned out from 1941 through to 1946.

I'm looking for ideas for plants that will look good next to the front door, do well in a large container with weekly watering, be more or less symmetrical with slightly different conditions, stay under a foot high, and not go too much wider than a foot.
My neighbor's terra cotta planters are on both sides of the front door, each about 2.5 to 3 ft. high, and 1 foot wide and deep. Her landscape designer planted phormium and bacopa in them, and the mailman has been asking if she could do something about them -- the mail slot is a foot above one pot, and it's not pleasant to be poked in the eye with overgrown phormium! The door faces east, and because of surrounding shrubs, one pot gets more heat and light than the other, but they're both in direct sun with afternoon shade. They get hand-watered once a week. Plants along the front walk include biokovo geranium, bergenia, dogwood (a few trees fell down in the past couple years, so it used to be shadier). |

How about: Aeonium, AEONIUM (many kinds, some that will be 1x1) And IMPO, a 1x1 plant will look like a lump in a 3-foot high container, so.... Add a spiller plant to the mounding (above) plant. Something that will trail over and down the sides. Joe |

Thanks for the suggestions. I went back with a tape measure and found out the planter is 2 ft. high, and 2 ft. below the mail slot, so there's a little more leeway. |

Here's an example that can take shade, some drought stress, looks good year around- EUONYMUS fortunei 'Emerald Gaiety' paired with a white flowered form of liriope. (sorry for the lousy photoshop selection but it would have taken forever to clean up the liriope picture) |

Antonio Cromartie doesn't think the Jets should go after Peyton Manning
Posted by Erik Manassy on Jan 11, 2012 in Player Tweets, Polls, Twitter Conversations | 2 comments
I have to give Antonio Cromartie a lot of credit. On the day where a coward Jets player came out and basically destroyed Mark Sanchez, the corner back game out on twitter answer fans asking about the state of the team. I saw some Jets fans tweets where they were speculating who could be the one who said those things about Mark anonymously.
Well after reading Cro's timeline, I put my doubts about him to bed. He came to his defense and he handled some critics and other questions nicely on twitter.
teamwork777 @ACromartie what ya think should we get manning ? Sanchez I believe he will be good but cmon.. 1/11/12 8:00 PM |
ACromartie No we shouldn't Mark can get the job I think he will b more confident with his throws with all the critics coming after him. @teamwork777 1/11/12 8:25 PM |

Never Forgive & Never Forget….Ryan is just stacking players to get to the Super Bowl…Cant Fathom this decision, where fans are disgusted with this management choice…Its like the Front Office basically stabbed the fans in the back…There are players among other teams that are hated because they play for that team, then there is Jason Taylor straight out punk…Used the media to right out diss the fans of gang green…Trash talk between players fine..Trash talk between fans fine…But when a player singles out fans of a division rival & constantly attacks verbal abuse for the sake of he dislikes them, how can that player willing come and play for that team…Doesnt make sense, yes he is an athlete whom is out-dated!
If Peyton is healthy and willing he's the best qb in football. Of course you go get him. If you have concerns about his health you don't.

"As good to listen to as to read"
I've read Heather Graham before; this was my first listen. Julia Whelan is an excellent narrator and she does a good job differentiating the characters.
The Killing Edge is an enjoyable story with good flow and it makes for nice listening. I appreciated that there were not dozens of characters, which I find difficult to follow when reading and even more difficult to follow when listening. The story has a number of different angles that come together. I didn't predict the murderer so when the identity was revealed it was a surprise.
"Entertaining story; superb performance"
Julia Whelan never disappoints! Her voices and accents clearly differentiate and add personality to the characters. I like everything about her performance.
The Collector is an entertaining story with a bit of everything - murder and mystery with a sweet dose of romance. Nora Roberts' writes great conversation in a style that is well-suited to narration and listening.
"Aggressive tone"
The storyline of the book seems to be ok but I really can't go much further. The narrator has an ability to do really good voices and accents for the characters but overall I find her tone to be very aggressive. After the first hour I thought it would settle in or I'd adapt; but it didn't and I haven't so I'm 'putting the book down'.
"Fast-paced mystery of a protected ancient secret"
While the story was captivating, fast-paced and totally perfect for listening, I've become a huge Jonathan Keeble fan. The narrator really does make all the difference. Not too fast, not too slow, good voice and accent, superb voices for characters and he changes pace and energy in his voice when the sections of the book demand.
It definitely did. Each chapter flips to a different scene, picking up various characters and lines of the story. The chapters are sufficiently short that you don't forget what has come before and this also adds to the increase in pace of the story. They all come together later in the book and they keep you wondering, 'What is going to happen to them?" until the next time the thread is picked up again.
I also felt that we were given good background information on many of the characters - they are strong and fleshy and credible.
I really didn't expect the sacrament to be what it turned out to be. Very unexpected. Great twist.
I enjoyed the descriptions of the citadel - the rooms, corridors, the library and the lighting... The opening scene really did it for me and had me completely lured into the book within minutes.
Probably when the old guy died to protect his daughter and grandson. And the revelation of the sacrament.
I'm searching Audible now for more books narrated by Jonathan Keeble and more book by Simon Toyne. I enjoyed this one that much!
"Sweet romance"
Karen Cass is fantastic! This is a sweet story with a good dash of romance and many likeable characters. Karen has a great way of giving voices to the characters - and expressing their personalities.
This one is simply just pleasant listening. The story isn't going to change your life with a great epiphany but it will give you a good 12 hours of listening entertainment.
If this was a movie, it would be classified as a 'chick flick' - girly. I doubt that this book will appeal to men.
"Perfect holiday listen"
Yes! I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Easy listening. I also enjoyed the story unfolding chapter by chapter and that there were not too many characters to keep track of. For me this audio book made for great holiday listening - no brainer stuff.
Karen Cass has become my favourite narrator. She differentiates the characters really well with changes in tone and accent, which makes listening very smooth.
The main character, Genevieve, is my favourite. I think she also did really well with Dylan - to convey his frostiness.
"A gripping story"
This is my first book narrated by Karen Cass and I absolutely loved her. I've had some great listens and each one I think is good but Karen really was superb. I'm on Audible now hunting for more books read by her.
I initially started listening bit by bit, as I had the chance. As the story progressed I found myself listening for longer and longer, late into the night - way after I should have gone to sleep. I did the last few hours in one dose because I so wanted to know what was going to happen.
Each chapter hops between years (I think it was 2003 and 2007) but because the main character is so different earlier and then later in her life, it is easier to follow in listening that I expected.
Stewart seemed absolutely charming and as for Lee... what a psychopath! His personality was brilliantly conveyed. Catherine - poor lass! What she went through and then all the OCD stuff.
You can't go wrong with this book.
"Can't go wrong with Nora Roberts"
Easy to follow the characters and story line. I listened to the book in chunks, often with days in between and the story still worked for me.
The personalities of both lead characters - Abigail and Brooks - come across well. I quite liked Brooks' mom - a little quirky, warm and fun.
Julia really does well to differentiate the characters with subtleties in her voice and tone or with relevant accents. No particular favourite.
I definitely did a some sittings of a couple of hours, which were really enjoyable. But most of the time I listened here and there while doing other tasks or driving. This book was good company over many hours.
A general 'good read'.
"Totally immersed"
This is my first audio book in about three years and I'm totally immersed in this story. Brown's characters are interesting and the story is filled with intrigue. With every chapter a few more secrets are uncovered. I've got about three hours to go and I'm enthralled.
Slezak is a super narrator and I'm really enjoying his southern accents. I'll definitely listen to more from him.
You can't go wrong with this book. I'm online now already looking for another story by Brown.
