Hey all! Well the time has come to sell the S3 sadly. It's up in the classifieds on here at the moment (link in the classifieds sticky or my signature for those that might be interested). Then I'm thinking Pistonheads later in the week if there's not much interest from here.

2014's a shake up/fresh start year for me. I handed my notice in at work at the end of last year, decided I'm taking a career break to do some traveling and then probably try and start up for own IT consultancy on my return. Always had a bit of the traveling bug and never been brave enough to have a go before. So doing it now, whilst I still have no ties and before I get too old to want to take on a new adventure. So I'm hoping to get away in about a month and I'll be starting in Alaska, then traveling down through the US, stopping at plenty of big national parks etc, drop in and say hello to my Dad in Florida, then down to South America before Australia and finally New Zealand. Wish me luck!

Like to say a BIG, MASSIVE, THANK YOU to everyone on here. Such a great bunch of people and helped me out a load over the years with advice on the S3. I'm not a massive poster I know, but I drop in fairly regularly and always try to help out when I can. Won't delete my profile don't worry, but suspect I won't be browsing around the site very often whilst I'm away. No doubt when I get back I'll be craving another Audi......

So as Arnie would say "I'll be back!" :laugh:

Sounds great, have a good time! Was looking at your S3 earlier, seems to have the best spec list I've ever seen. I'm sure it'll sell pronto!

Thanks for all the support and good wishes guys. Oh and Voorhees, yep I will get a travel blog sorted out and will update the thread with it before I go. Alaska and New Zealand have been on my places to visit list for years and years, so can't wait to get going now :yahoo:

As for the car, well yes fingers crossed it'll go quite quick as like you all noticed it has got all the toys. Don't see many with factory specced sunroof & buckets. Plus the latest RNSE with full AMI. I think the only tech option it doesn't have is the adaptive headlights. Everything else is there!
