Another 4 rings joins the stable.
Some will be aware I have 'collected' a few D2s. I also posted my gains in March of my new wife and her Q3.
A couple of months ago I needed to be able to tow a horse trailer. While my S8 could cope admirable I didn't fancy towing into or out of a field! So I went and bought an Audi that could; in this case a C5 A6 Allroad with a 4.2 V8. Pump up the suspension and I'm in and out of the fields easy peasy. But, it gave me a hankering for a full bore off roader that can cross Dartmoor and climb Every tor. I couldn't afford to buy one, so I converted one of my existing stable.
