    bit of a bump

    Gutted for ya mate, but at least you left the scene unscathed. A car can be rebuilt or replaced you cant. I'm saying bye bye to both of my A4 Avant's as well. The manual one broke down on me on the M6 last thursday morning (7/7) with a suspected stripped cam belt and the auto one I've had...

    I'm afraid not :unsure::unsure: I'm heading back to the Volvo fold after landing an excellent deal on an '04 plate XC90 2.9T6 SE with only 63k on the clock. Daft thing is, its ****** cheaper on the insurance than just one of the A4's :blink:

    Why the A4 B5?

    The B5 still looks fresh. The build quality, the comfort, the oomph all packed up in a tasty package that isnt ostentatious or "in yer face" as others.
