Hi everyone!
Right, so finally I've got myself an a3! Its been along wait, and to be honest being 18 never actually thought I'd be able to afford the insurance. But still I've found insurance and the right car, so I'm here.. already getting far too many ideas about mods for the car eek!
Bit of car history.. When I was learning I bought myself a Subaru Impreza 2.0 n/a which I loved to bist! Fast and at the time I could afford the insurance (only £1500 (cheap for a 17 year old!)). But once I passed my test the insurance went up to over £7k! So I sold my subaru to my mum and found the cheapest car to insure, a classic vw beetle! It couldn't of been more different than the subaru, but still it's given me a years motoring giving me my no claims. Now though the bugs up for sale, doing more miles now I needed something cheaper to run, and hence why I am here!
The A3 is 2003 reg, 140 tdi and has just over 80k on the clock. Already I've got plans of lowering it, sline front and rear, my11 rear lights, rs4 reps etc..
Since getting it on wednesday I've washed it twice, so yeah, I'm hooked aha!
If anyone is local to Ipswich or Colchester it'd be good to get a meet going or something if there isn't already.. And if anyone has a clue about detailing and paint correction I could really do with being taught, as the only thing thats letting the car down at the moment is all the small scratches around the car.
Anyway thats me, and hopefully you'll be hearing a lot more from me in the near future :icon_thumright:
