Fantastic write up Ian, I'd be lying if I said your D3 wasn't tempting, but I only really want one with a black interior, cream at a push.

I always prefer a black interior too, one of the main reasons I focussed on this S4 and discounted others...

I did want a black interior for the D3, but I wanted sunroof, adaptive lights, adaptive cruise, alcantara roof etc more and they're just not easy to retrofit.

My plan was always to put a black interior in it when a8parts got one in, but you know me, I get bored and buy something else... :rolleyes:

If you are even vaguely tempted, I'm in Birmingham on Tuesday. I was going to take the S4 for a run out to see if it can even get there and back on one tank lol, but happy to take the D3 if you want a play with it when I finish work +++

Otherwise it'll be a case of first sensible offer takes it, as I cant afford to insure 2 cars indefinietely right now, nor do I want it hanging around uninsured....

Im not sure I'll get even 7K for it (which is soooo wrong !!) but I'll consider any genuine offer from anyone ... :)

Its essentially same spec/condition as my previous listing, but now she has a fresh MOT on her +++

I've got a break in the weather so I'm hoping to get her all doled up for some nice piccies, and I'll post the Ebay link soon. :D

Ian, will you miss ACC ?

Yes, that and keyless entry. Both of which are available on the newer B8 S4, so I'm just going to pretend that they're not far away really.... +++

The journey home on Thurs night was painless enough on normal cruise, but it was midnight, so no traffic to dodge round. I think a normal journey is going to be hell !

At least when I get unused to ACC again, I'll stop getting in the missus' car and nearly crashing where her cruise fails to slow down and I'm a million miles away :ROFL:

Just emptied it, and washed it... Couldnt find room in the S4 for most the of the things that were tucked away in the 8 so brought them in the house, although the fresh smell of unused rubber coming from the spare wheel well on the S4 was kinda nice... +++

Although there is a little part of me that would like a nice D3, I need to stick to my original RS plan, I'm going to be working until 8 PM on Tuesday too :(
Thanks for the offer, I'm sure it will find a good home. If you are selling maybe you and Darren could do a deal on the rear lights as you probably won't see much more £££ for them in the overall sale price? +++

So true
 

excellent write-up Ian +++ rings so true, and the comparison almost had me picking up the phone about your D3 but I still have a soft spot for the classic D2 and if/when I have a D3 it will have to be an S8... ;)

Pretty sure I'll have another D3, maybe next year, but like you, fancy an S8 really, or at a push, a top spec 4.2 Tdi, but they're both too expensive right now....

Remap it and if you have a friendly MOT station, decat the thing. If you can afford it, Milltek it!

Honestly different machine after that.

I'm only down the road.....

Agree with most of that Doc, although I'm led to believe that the turboed cars benefit more from a full decat as the NA engines seem to need to bit of back pressure to operate at peak performance, hence why I went with 100 cell Milltek downpipes on the B6 S4.

I could of course be talking completely out of my bottom... :rolleyes:
