You must have that car garaged to keep it in that sort of condition, Pimp? Isn't a "C" plate a 1985 model? | ||
| pimpdriver |
No, it is kept on the drive. I spent about 3 hours cleaning it on Saturday.
It was in a field for two years too. It is an Audi, legendary build quality. I also use it for 500 miles a week when the other is being serived, or I fancy a change. 86 C reg. |

do you like the modern ones like the tt and the a8 | ||
| GTB |
German technology, eh? You can't beat it.  It's in bloody good nick though. When your finished with it you might like to offer it to the Atwell Wilson museum.

Love the A8, from 1994-2002 ish. Looks like an A4, just a bit bigger, with a stormer of an engine. TT is a gay hairdresser's car, the engine is in the wrong way (transverse) and it has a Haldex clutch rather than "proper" quattro drivetrain with Torsen (torque sensing) diff which is full time 4WD. Haldex is 2WD mostly, but clutches in the back wheels when needed. |

I quite like the Audi TT.  The Audis are very well built vehicles though.

It was my first ever car, I sold it and then bought it back. It is going to be a family heirloom one day. So, not it's not going to Atwell Wilson!!! Keep your eye on "Audi Driver" magazine May though...... Purple flake metallic, slammed on airbag suspension and chrome spoked wheels, and cow print interior. Proper pimp!!!! bit like this one: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/963327.htm |

Getting worse. Early 90s to late 90s cars were best, latest ones have suspension problems and rust underneath. |

Nice little motor. Would spares still be a available for a 1974 car? | ||
| pimpdriver |
You can still get spares, mainly from ebay in Germany. Or get another car which is rotten for the spares. I nearly bought one in Bristol for £50
I have a spare car for my Audi, which is slowly getting bits taken off it. |

I had a passenger ride last July at Castle Combe in the Milltek (i.e. more power than normal!!) R8 
|
||
| Local lass |
how did you get to do that then? | ||
| pimpdriver |
right place, right time.
I was stood there on the Milltek (exhausts etc) stand, and the tannoy said "if you'd like a passenger ride in the Milltek R8, go to the Milltek stand". I was standing there, so I said "can I have a passenger ride please", and the bloke said "yes". 4 laps of Castle Combe in the fastest thing I have ever been in, with a proper racing driver driving too. |
