Well its 3 years tomorrow since I collected my old bus from west London audi and the old bus is still going well , with only a few issues that need sorting such as the newly found rust pimples....
The first 12 months were a big learning curve for me based on A4 B7 ownership , not really what I was expecting to be honest due to all the mechanical issues that occurred.

Anway 2nd year was a big improvement and saw a few mods but nothing massive but the old bus behaved itself for the most part, this year things have been very good with only a few issues to deal with and the old bus is looking very nice now aswell.

having just come back from my local MOT garage for the dreaded annual " whats it going to cost this time" session I am glad to say the old bus passed with flying colours again and with no advisory's either....so very pleased on that front as MOT time is allways a dreaded time....so Its been another good audi day today ....

So where to now, well still a few bits to sort out and bits to fit but hopefully will bring it all together in the next few weeks.
Mods still left to finish, fit new holefe front bumper that's ready to go on now, s4 blades to go on, 034 downpipe to be fitted, sources some decent S4 recaro's , get the alloys refubed to 100% condition.....track down a nic eflat bottom steering wheel also just waiting on the corriosion work to be sorted by audi, and that's probably about it for this year .

In summary then as an audi a4 B7 owner for 3 years now , its a keeper and I still find it a buzz to drive...

Good to hear you escaped the MOT station unscathed Rob, I know that feeling of impending doom well. :smiley:

Let us know what you think of the 034 Sports Cat when you get it fitted.
 
Yup, the perils of owning an ahem, mature vehicle... every year a seed of doubt eats away for those few hours whilst we wait for that phone call.

With all your cars been through it's only fair that you have a few good and trouble free years from it
