Eyup lads!
My 1.8T had gone bang a year ago, and has been languishing in my inlaws driveway until today....its gone into the garage to get fixed at last!
When it broke, new engines cost 2 kidneys and a lung - but they are a bit cheaper now and I cant wait to get her back. The garage is going to see if only a head job and strainer is needed or a whole motor but either way I can afford to fix it now. Plus I had been made redundant just after it went and now I am back in a hot job so things are looking very good.
I may go nuts on it when its running again (huge valet needed, it has green seatbelts - yes its mould from dampness as it broke in the hot summer with the AC on full pelt then was left closed for a year) but otherwise I might go for an RS4 type of kit for it. God its been a long year of old japs, vw's and other stuff. I now run around in a pug 406 diesel which seemed like a good car until i was towed in the A4.....even under tow it rode better than the 406 does when running! When I jumped back in the pug it was obvious how squishy the seats and ride are, along with the dull interior. And dull looks. And lack of style or go.
I am going to pee myself with excitement thinking about it!
Its good to be (almost) back

no matter how crazy. I want it to be a jaw dropper in the looks dept. Performance is relatively easy and just takes cash but body mods need artistic flair, imagination and taste.........
