True, but I do wonder if he'd paid book price for the work if it might have got more of a priority....

Gee. How good of them. I won't believe it until you post a photo of it in the flesh though.

If this were your first ever experience of Audi UK, the A8 and Leeds Audi, why the heck would you ever go back.....

[limoncello]

i wouldnt, if it wasnt for the fact that they have been prtty good to me for the last 6 years, i wouldnt go to sytner ever again.

there was a point just before my holiday (that i didnt get) that i was online to the bank, hovering over the accept me button for a loan to buy yours in the meantime.

then common sense got the better of me, 2 identical cars outside the house.

however Oscar has left me with one more problem, i have re arranged my holiday for the end of this month, before that the MOT is due.

"dont worry it will pass no problem" is ringing in my ears at the moment, and if it fails and has to go back in the workshop i may well be coming your way with a fistfull of dollars.

cant help thinking that had he done some pre prep on this car i wouldnt be in this position.

lol, I had considered how good it would be had there been a practical way I could have lent you my car for your holiday, but in reality that would have been a bit messy.

Maybe I should have sold it to you on a sale or return basis for a long test drive

I've driven it twice in the last fortnight, both times to shuffle it a few feet on the driveway. I'm currently in Birmingham, having been to London yesterday, and I still took the TT for the multi-hundred mile journey as the sun is out and I wanted the roof down.... Doh.

I go sunburnt yesterday though. That'll teach me.

Very nice of you but i couldnt do that, after the realisation that i couldnt have 2 identical cars i breifly considered buying the range rover, then i considered for a lot longer a family holiday where i get 10 days of her indoors glowering at me becuase i spent 40 grand in a week on 2 cars neither of which in her opinion we needed

I used to get this a lot, but I think she's become immune to it now.... In fact she came with me to get the A8, and is now actively encouraging me to get something more sporty.

Wait. This is downright suspicious come to think of it....

[limoncello]

you have to let us know how you achieved that, we need a new thread "why i (we) need 2 cars"

Hi Hope you manage to get it sorted soon mate as they are superb cars, mine was a joy to drive down to Newbury this week, nearly 40mpg and so smooth! She is starting to loosen up now with over 5k on the clock, and the mpg is improving when I don't need to feel that shove in the back

On the multiple cars thing I have had up to five going at one time and have scaled back to three now I find keeping the other two hidden in the garage helps When they were on the drive I was constantly reminded you need to sell some of these cars. But slowly I have converted my wife to allowing me to have more than one or two as she appreciates the benefits of me spending time in the garage and not moaning about the trashy TV she likes to view
I have just had a lift installed and when I proudly showed off the new acquisition she floored me by stating "oh you could fit another car in here now under than one" ....true love
