The opportunity came up! a brand new unregistered car which had pretty much everything bar tv and sunroof, including sat nav plus and quattro GmbH upgrade suspension (an option that had long been dropped from uk options).
12hr shifts, life, saving then buying a house, redundancy and new job all added to 10 years of ownership. ( along with modding it)
I've been in continuous S3 ownership, since 2002.
4 pics from brand new....
