Been neglecting this thread a little bit lately, not had the time to keep on top of the forums and social media.
Anyway, This season in the A3 has been amazing, My rookie year in the VWDRC didn't go quite as well as I planned, but that's mostly down to me chasing numbers rather than trying to do well where it really matter (consistency).
But I digress, this weekend may well mark the end of 'the goose' as we know it. The car has reached the tipping point, whereby I either fork out the money to fit a roll cage, OR I change plan all together.Just as I was about to pull the trigger on the cage, another opportunity presented itself, and well, It's going to be an emotional goodbye.
The building of this car coincided with my late father's ill health and ultimately his death, and the hours I put into building this car over the winter were all really just a big distraction/release from dealing with life. But without getting too gushy, safe to say this car means more to me than it was ever supposed to.
But that's not to say my racing days are over. There are 'bigger' and better things in the pipeline. The A3 will be doing it's final season through 2017 while i continue work on the next project in the background.
That project being a '94 Audi 80.
It's going to be fun, expensive, and silly.
