As Nigel quite rightly acknowledged i've been hiding, I took another break from Audi ownership and ASN for a bit (albeit only for about 4 months or so). I sold the 8P S3 in March for a variety of reasons, mainly I didn't like having £30k tied up sitting on my driveway and the car not exciting me enough for that kind of money. It was a cracking car and there are certainly some elements I miss about it, 4WD being one of them.
Since then i've dabbled with an XJR, which was a monster, but went round bends like a house on castors. I picked up a nice little Mk1 MX-5 which (whilst i'm not expecting everybody to agree) is great fun to drive, but I also wanted something else for the crap weather and long journeys. So I kept my eye out for another Audi, I nearly went for a B6 S4 but in the end (and after a few beers) decided to have a go on eBay. I ended up with this....
67K miles, late 2001, owner had it from brand new, FSH etc. I couldn't believe it to be honest, I was expecting ti to be a bit more ropey around the edges, but (fingers crossed) it seems ok for the £4,500 I paid for it.
And for those of you interested, here's my weekend car that i've been tinkering with. Added some Rota RB wheels, stainless cat back and a cracking Focal/JL install. I plan on adding some more oomph with some FI but not sure whether to go SC or turbo yet, watch this space.
Cheers
