Off on holiday tomorrow but will be checking back regularly to make sure I am not missing out on any of the countdown excitement.
Missed this in the rush to get away......thanks
As I sit on the villa veranda with a freshly squeezed orange juice doing what has become a holiday daily ritual early morning checking of the ASN forum I think I should be chilled and relaxed after nearly 2 weeks holiday, which I am. I have just read Sportbackmark's latest countdown post who has seen several new A3's in the last couple of weeks and realise that I have only seen 2 Audis whilst on holiday, a single A1 and a Q7.
But then I think 21 days to go, in fact so exactly that in exactly 21 days to the minute I will be setting off for the dealer, I am more excited than an excited thing
Cool and had not seen the video before, that was already in the pick up day play list and has no gone straight to number 1

I dont forget these things you know, i have a good memory. glad you liked my choice. xNice choice, in last day of holiday before heading home for the final couple of weeks countdown
Back from hols, got my reg number and got the insurance pretty much all sorted.....now what to do for the next 16 days 12 hours?
Same position as me on both counts. Just need to sell my puma. Dave, maybe you can start some interesting discussion threads, or do you need to lie horizontal on a Lilo for inspiration?Back from hols, got my reg number and got the insurance pretty much all sorted.....now what to do for the next 16 days 12 hours?
Dealer seems pretty confident. It has either gone over today, or will be imminently, and the dealer is fairly busy so wouldn't have thought it would be long to wait for a transporter-full going there. Still more than 2 weeks yet!
Don't think I'll need the 7 day insurance - probably just phone my insurers tomorrow and let them know I'm getting a new car, and just get covered like that. On the other hand it could save a lot of faff just using the 7 days thing (which they need to tax it I think) if they are doing all the legwork and I can just sort out my own insurance during that week.
That's a great track, have got the original CD album somewhere.
If i remember correctly this was a one and only album and had a couple of Uk hits from it. Think he was ex US army and bought himself out to take up a music career but quickly disappeared off the scene.
my A3 gets built this week
Right so thats that then, exactly 10 days to go, balance for the car has been paid, done this early as my sales rep is away for a few days and did not want any last minute hiccups.
1.SD card loaded and organised - check
2. Key rings bought - check
3. tax disc holder bought - check
4. Chrome tyre valve caps bought - check (still not sure if i will fit them)
5. Can I find someone to buy my existing car in last 2 weeks of August - check (got a good dealer Px and hoping he will throw in a couple of freebies such sa mats and autoglym lifeshine kit on the day as they got a pretty good deal on my existing car)
6. Service light did not surface on the existing car and DIS giving thousands of miles until service/oil change - check
Only one minor blemish in the preparations.... was praying that no one else in the work car park also has a 63 plate on show on 2nd September, want to be centre of attention for at least a day...drove into car park yesterday to be conformted by a new shiny A6 and in Daytona Grey on a pvt plate (owner, who i do not know, looked like he had a pretty big grin on his face and was doing that who is looking at me and my car thing) - mine will be newer and shiner in a week or so's time so not that much to compalin about I suppose.
and only 1 item on my check list not sorted
How the hell can I remove the sun blind sticker without leaving unsightly marks - has anyone actually tried this yet? Not sure it is possible becuase i think these are now heat sealed in.
back to counting the hours unless anyone can think of something i have forgotton
Indeed. I assumed I'd be bothered by it, until a few days ago, when I realized my current car has it too.I'm not sure I'll be too bothered about the sun visor sticker really. They are there on all cars these days, there is the potential to cause much more damage removing it. I still like the suggestion of ordering the sun visor for a LHD car and fitting that instead if you are desperate though.
You have forgotten photo location ....
