huge probs to the owner for being such a chill guy and having done some really remarkable work with the modifications! these kind of cars are so much fun
You've had the privilege of driving some of the most capable cars out there. I don't think I've ever seen you with a continuous smile on your face the way you did in this video. That was fantastic!
The Owner is so chill and truly enjoying the ride in his lil Frankenstein Caddy! Brilliant! With the proper diff, possibly independent rear and other suspension mods, and that thing is REALLY gonna surprise some folks! Gotta LOVE a sleeper!
😂 😂 That was as mad as a box of ferrets.... The other drivers didn't have a clue what was going on 😂 I think Sabine would have loved it, like the transit van ❤
Honestly this was one of my favorite laps to watch just because of the challenge and insanity of driving something so crazy. Also, the "one wheel peel", although not helping performance, certainly adds to the fun drama factor!
I've driven a caddy from the same generation for around 270.000 km in the last 4 years, this video made me smile :D and yes, the handling and rear axle annoy me to no end
Loving this channel Misha! Only been a subscriber for a couple of months but always makes me smile when I see some of the VTech stuff and out of the ordinary stuff like this van!! Keep up the good work and be safe!!! 👍🏻
i didn't touch the lights. That's the Emergency Brake warning. New Cars have that. Can't be programmed off sadly. Btw i knew what was happening from leaving Devils Diner. Did you guys see his Numberplate?
I think such cars are even more fun or at least as fun as a proper sports car,the looks you get because no one expects it are above anything else,it must be hella fun to own a sleeper like this
I haven't been this jealous of a car we don't get in the US for a long time. I love how it's much shorter than other cargo type vans and how the front end still looks like a VW car.
@@Random-nf7qb I just looked it up and it’s cool it has IRS but it doesn’t have that cargo van look, it’s more mini van. It would still be awesome setup for track use with big power but I really like the look of this short cargo looking van.
@@Random-nf7qb thanks, it was cool to look at all of them and they are more similar than different, mostly just seems like length difference and how finished the exterior is. I think my favorite is the version like on this video with the nicer exterior/painted bumpers, no back side glass, and no sliding doors. They look so cool lowered and on nice wheels, but with sticky tires, 500 hp, and dsg transmission it’s on another level of bad a**.
This is a very nice van, get an oil cooler, doesn't have to be super big because it can cause a haste for daily driving but would benefit. Not dangerous yet but a small bit high nevertheless. Lovely lovely van tho, it's really cool to see these outside the box builds😊😊
Fun that "everything" is bolt-on on the PQ35 platform. Engine mounts and all can come straight out of any of the cars and into another, as long as the engine has enough room. So the engine and gearbox from an S3 fits perfectly in the Caddy 🤩
Yep, real modifications starts when u want to replace rear axle and leaf springs to multilink suspension. All others are just bolt on stuff. However nice sleeper 👍🏻
I love sleepers like this. Long time ago I had a Opel Kadett Combo with a 2L GSi engine tuned to 140 bhp. It was of course not a fast car, but people expected it to have the standard 1.3L 65 bhp engine. The surprise factor was great fun. Even took it to Germany a couple of times to pick up some parts. Despite the awful aerodynamics, it could still do 208 kph on the speedo. Fast enough to cause some confused faces :)
This series needs definitely further cams..in all other cars..to see reactions and how the car itself appears passing by 😂 and at least one fixed at a high speed section
I just love following you! Bcs you drive everything and gives me so much inspiration for when im in my simrig doing assetto corsa. Since i got almost 4000 cars i always seems to find a car very close to what you are driving. Makes it so much fun. My biggest dream is to once go to the nordschleife. I got over 20000km done there in the sim, but never in real life. Its fair to say, im addicted to drive this track/road :D
There was literally a VW Caddy touringcar which competed in the VW R Cup Series for many years here in the UK, and it spanked many races, and many Golfs n Sciroccos...
The Caddy is a fun car to drive! I had a 2005 with the 2 liter SDI non-turbocharged diesel with 70hp as a company car. And it was really good between 1700 and 1730rpm. 😂😂 I overtook several BMW 3er "racers" on my local winding road, and they couldn't believe their eyes when I passed them. 😎
okay i just found this channel a couple of weeks ago.. and of the 30 or so ive watched so far.. this has been the best for some reason.. smiled the whole time lol
In the US, people use "caddy" as a nickname for Cadillac. Watched the whole video assuming all of the references to "caddy" were suggesting that this Volkswagen had a Cadillac engine or something. Finally googled it and now I understand what I got wrong 😅😅
Didn't really leave the yaris at all. It was at least matching our speed and then gaining on us fairly easily. It went past any way in the end the van had nothing in the corners. The guy has better driving skills than most people on the track
Misha, those small cars are so entertaining, especially the taller of them. Not only that, they have the potential to flip onto one of their two sides. Whenever they aren't drive with care, there is that possibility. I greatly enjoy watching you drive those car, minivans, micro-cars that bearly have a max speed of a hundred miles per hour. I remember that car you drove that bearly past the 100 mph mark at the bridge. That car was so small and the engine didn't have much power or torque to bring it past the mandatory hundred miles per hour at that bridge. My favorite car that you drove on the nordschleife was the Shelby GT500. Wow, what a monster of a car. Misha, I wish a person who has a V8 Aerial Atom would contact you so that you could drive it on that track. It possibly my absolute favorite car on the north loop or nordschleife. That would be absolutely incredible.
Yeah same, either Stateside Super Cars or Autoaddiction. Only a few days ago I saw it and I was thinking "that thing is faster than your average Caddy, that would be cool to see on here" then I woke up this morning and here it is!
What an awesome vid! I feel the same way with my mk6 ko4 build with open diff, its a pain to deal with but it still puts a smile on your face and that's all that matters!!!
Now that's a proper sleeper car! All you need is fake "ABC Plumbers" or "Rapid Pizza" ads on the sides and rear to really blow minds. If that was my car, I would glue "TDI" badge at the rear to make it even more hilarious.
I got overtaken by a tricked up Caddy TDI about 7 years ago, my first time around the ring. Went round me like i was in reverse and showered me in a huge cloud of black smoke! 😂
Just watched the modded GT4RS video and came to this - I actually think this looks like the better drive. Smoking the tire coming out of turn early on and you are grinning like a kid in a candy store. So much fun. Outstanding car.
Ha-ha, that is where the enthusiastic part of that MQB platform begins: You can SWAP!😄 You know, tho independent suspension is better, I think it’s not about the ‘dependence’ of the rear end, I think it’s about the aft leaf springs. If that dead axle was supported by levers and had coil springs, it would’ve been way more precise in corners. Also was thinking about all wheel drive Caddies- they have live axle back there! Can you imagine *that* careering through the track?
Great engine. Maybe next to the upgrades that Misha recommended, also some extra weight saving by removing insinsulation, adding front and back struts (maybe) and some more aero, side skirst and maybe a tiny front and a little back roof spoiler
😂 Love this car! Misha, Are you never worried about the cars that you drive? I mean... someone have worked on them. You a putting your life in that persons skills to wrench when pushing cars this hard! I dont think i would have the balls to do what you do on daily basis!
THE SPEEDO IS IN MILES PER HOUR! :)
Also, check out our new collection! petrolheart.com/pages/signature
Do you have a web page with a list of all the cars you have driven on the Nordschleife so far? This would be awesome!
same day delivery van ? :)
It might be MPH, but the speed your showing through the corners seems slower than what the speedo is saying? 🤔
Haha the wheel spin must have aggressive. The speedo was climbing just as quickly as the taco. Looked like you had fun!
Like riding a wild, not mustang, donkey! ;-)
4:40 never thought I'd be overtaken by a Caddy on the nordschleife🤣
XD
At that point, did you ever feel like you had to throw your car away in the bin?! 😂 Lovely car btw!
then seize the moment and hang in the slipstream behind the caddy 😄
😂😂😂
LMAOOOO 💀💀
"What's the limiter?"
"6,5"
Misha straight to 7 first pull lol
It looks like that 7 hit him before he expected it!
Yeah it was very much not intentional. A one wheel peel will do that to you@@zaraak323i
The casual glances across at the dash as it bounced off limiter frying up a tire. lol.
Every time Misha get to 7000 the owner 👀
Revved up soooo freaking quick… comical but incredible 👍🏼
man i cant imagine the reaction of the bmw getting passed by a caddy at 140 mph
The owner just commented lol.
Going to sell the car and getting a SuperCaddy
Something like this .....😮wtf. 😂
I was sat on the toilet for this whole lap
225 km/h
huge probs to the owner for being such a chill guy and having done some really remarkable work with the modifications! these kind of cars are so much fun
Props* 😂😂
That made me smile 😊
2:04 Misha I KNOW there's a part of you that wanted to go "hey guys, wanna jump in the back for a lap?" 😄
But there were no back seats :(
@@mgcharoudin that's the point, mate 🤣🤣
😂😂❤
Me too
@@mgcharoudinwho needs seats 😂
Probably the most fun lap I've seen on this channel.
Wheelspin at 80mph ... in a Caddy ... totally bonkers.
I was laughing with him
This thing needs a pizza delivery paintjob, fastest pizza on the ring lmao
Pizza planet car from toy story 😁👊
Exterminator service
Speed Rabbit pizza
Vamonos Pest paintjob from Breaking Bad.
Ring Pizza
Yeah! This is what I was waiting for - a lap in the infamous VW Caddy! Thanks a lot!
You've had the privilege of driving some of the most capable cars out there. I don't think I've ever seen you with a continuous smile on your face the way you did in this video. That was fantastic!
I thought the same thing. You couldn't wipe it off of his face.
There was that janky Renault, I think, with like 3 guys in it, it was a hilarious video, everyone laughing the entire lap 😂
So, basically, you were about as fast as a contractor in an unmodified caddy at the end of a 12 hour day work?
On a Friday
@@AndrewStrydomBRP evening and two beers into the weekend xD
It's funny cause it's true.
The reactions are always funny with sleepers like this one
The Owner is so chill and truly enjoying the ride in his lil Frankenstein Caddy! Brilliant! With the proper diff, possibly independent rear and other suspension mods, and that thing is REALLY gonna surprise some folks! Gotta LOVE a sleeper!
Always love a sleeper..True !
This is so fucking cool!!! If you do do the rear axle work, just go the whole hog and 4 motion swap it, would be mega!!!
Agree100%! 😂👍
It's a Golf after all, should be possible...
Just get rid of the leaf springs and weld on cups for coil springs, then mount a strong anti-roll bar and it will be fine.
4motion in caddies is still solid axle
@@SocietyMikeJust go with a Touran imo
😂 😂 That was as mad as a box of ferrets.... The other drivers didn't have a clue what was going on 😂
I think Sabine would have loved it, like the transit van ❤
"Sorry Cayman, we have a fast delivery".🤣
That were the Perfect words in that situation.
That was the funniest moment in this video haha
Honestly this was one of my favorite laps to watch just because of the challenge and insanity of driving something so crazy. Also, the "one wheel peel", although not helping performance, certainly adds to the fun drama factor!
Sabine would be proud!
Also, 9:09 lap time, including the yellow flag... A transit was apparently the wrong van.
Yaris guy is totally impatient and flashed directly and wanted to get past. but on the straight has no chance 🤣
i am loving it
the yaris flashing the marker lights like that is ABS event
I've driven a caddy from the same generation for around 270.000 km in the last 4 years, this video made me smile :D and yes, the handling and rear axle annoy me to no end
Definitely smiles per gallon 😂 never seen misha laughing and smiling so much, looks like so much fun. Great video m8 👍
mgcharoudin
Love how quickly ya hunt out the vehicles limits whilst laughing like hell . One of best yet 🤣🤣🤣
Pete’s always built monsters. I remember his Leon absolute weapon can’t imagine how this is 😅
That smile in your face Misha is priceless, you have to drive that kind of cars definetly!
Just two grown men having a good time in a fast car.
Could it be more pure and awesome?
Love the video man.
this car would be sick to see in a carwow drag race
It would be left spinning on the spot, no lsd remember.
There’s a lot quicker one with an Audi rs3 engine with 1400 horsepower
After 6 minutes of bla bla bla
There is a faster one with 1320 hp i uk 😂😂😂
Thers is loads of them about running high power , probably thousands this spec only around 350bhp
Loving this channel Misha! Only been a subscriber for a couple of months but always makes me smile when I see some of the VTech stuff and out of the ordinary stuff like this van!! Keep up the good work and be safe!!! 👍🏻
That looked like pure fun , amazing sleeper that you can sleep in 😁
an amazing lap! very similar power level to my stage 1 leon cupra, sounds just like it with the traction breaking bangs! amazingly fun to watch.
What an absolute weapon, climbs like a homesick angel on the uphill section.
This was hilarious to watch! I was laughing out loud the entire time!
3:20 What speed where you going at?
"Uhm...anything between 50 to 90 mph"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Misha laughing for one full lap is something!
I thought it was a CVT from the opening clip! 😂😂 Misha always has the most fun in something that is completely inappropriate for the track. Haha
Lol the differential was having a field trip because it was open 😅
I truly hope the Yaris driver sees this, so he/she knows what was happening.
exactly
He commented already. @petergrundling698
yeah he was acting stupid... he loves his light functions alot tho ;-)))
@@BenSuzi1980 You do realize that blinkers are blinking automatically during hard breaking, right?

okay i just found this channel a couple of weeks ago.. and of the 30 or so ive watched so far.. this has been the best for some reason.. smiled the whole time lol
No way ! I can see other drivers' faces already be like '' WTF !! 😮 its a Caddy ....How is that even possible?!!? 😁😁

Amazing how fast you were able to take the caddy around the ring considering all that sail boat fuel you were hauling in the back ⛵😂😂
Sorry cayman, we have a fast delivery ! This got me laughing so much 🤣 that’s one lovely Caddy !
i bursted out laughing in start where Misha overtook that 911 and left the GR to dust :DDD

@@chrishart8548 oh i see i should have been more precise. AT THE START. That Yaris thought that HE was going to blow past that Caddy
@@chrishart8548 Around 4:13 you were pulling away from the Yaris at a decent rate.
Misha out here cooking this guys engine oil. While the guys sits there and 😂🤣😂😆😅😃😄😀

"Revs to 6800" then he proceeds to rev it to 7 hahahahaha absolutely class 😂
Very funny, that thing must be a hoot to drive.
I'm not particularly a fan of VAG, but I do love the DSG farts any day of the week

This is the kind of silly cars I would love to see more kind of content for. It seems like you really enjoyed it too.
This guy lives around the corner from me, I've seen this Caddy blasting around a few times, cool to see it passing Porsches & Type Rs 👍🏻
Perhaps the best for a long time!!
That's gota be one of my favorite videos. That huge burnout by the F1 track had me lol
what a crazy build - S3 Caddy - 😄😄😄 amazing
Hahaha great vid! Both your laughs and the oil temp rising...
I dont think I've ever seen Misha laugh this much driving a car.
Him in a Fiat Panda was also hilarious.
This was so much fun to watch 😀 I wish someone would come with properly build T5 or T6 for funsies.
I got overtaken by a tricked up Caddy TDI about 7 years ago, my first time around the ring. Went round me like i was in reverse and showered me in a huge cloud of black smoke! 😂
Nice video from me 😂 i thought damn thats a quick caddy. That thing was so fast on the straight parts.
Never seen Misha laugh so much, obviously he was having a great time.
As a caddy owner this is hilarious! 😂
One of the most fun runs 😂 been laughing the whole clip, imagening what guys in Audis etc was thinking whaha. Great build.
Holy shit the oil temp got pretty crazy😂
I'm sue Sabine Schmitz would approve and would have enjoyed a drive too. What a brilliant conversion, huge smile factor. Well done guys.
4:10 yaris say whatttttt....it's so fast
Very well driven and a fantastic build. If you can get that performance from a solid rear axle and an open diff, you're both doing something right.
I hope TR Hamza also comes through when his 2.5 RS3 swapped Caddy is done. Would love it if misha throws it around a track!
Misha's joy face driving this caddy it's something else dude
My face hurts from smiling the whole vid
I love seeing Misha laughing! Nice video once again. What a fun toy.
I was getting nervous watching the oil temperature slowly creeping higher and higher... 😧
The giggling summed it up. 2 boys having a laugh. Great watch!
Just watched the modded GT4RS video and came to this - I actually think this looks like the better drive. Smoking the tire coming out of turn early on and you are grinning like a kid in a candy store. So much fun. Outstanding car.

Misha really flexed on us those forearms the whole video holding for dear life the steering wheel 😂😂
😂 Love this car!

Lol just the avreage van driver at 1AM
That sounds Fing amazing on the gear changes, what a van love it.
AMAZING. And what a friendly owner. Legend.
Grins from ear to ear for all!! Fun lap, thanks.🎉
A few channels have been posting similar caddy's , didn't expect to see one one on here but epic as usual Misha
That Yaris was feeling it lmao
