Well. My Beast is gone. Deposit taken. Part company next week. I really didn't want to sell her, but logic had to prevail. The wife and I bought a house up in the mountains west of Sydney a couple of months ago as a weekender and I need a bit of a "workhorse" that will get a towball, go up dirt roads, not be so pampered, and not be so paranoided? over. Had to be 4x4ish but had to do city duties as well. My choice? a Subaru Diesel Outback in manual form. I don't know if you guys get these. About same size as the 4 avant. Incredibly frugal. But.....not the tuned S4, so se la vie. I got enough change to put a new gas central heating system in, a new roof , 3 sofas, and some rewiring. That was the logic component. It was a pleasure to "meet" you all. This is a really good forum and its down to you guys. Ciao Brad.
