I used to be a Holden Commodore man.
I owned four through the 90's and 2000's. Three of them were V8's.
Then one day my mate showed me some adds on the Carsales site for Audi A4's. They were remarkably inexpensive on the used market and one caught my eye. It was an Achate Grey B5 2.6 Quattro manual with 17" BBS's, and I loved it!
I started dating my missus shortly after that, but she didn't like small cars (or fast driving
).
I kept it for a few more years anyway (because I liked it!), but missed the V8 power (those 12V V6's are great engines, but powerhouses they are not!).
One day I put a simple search into the Carsales site: "Audi V8".
That was 8 years ago!
