Default Old girl ready for die Eiffel!

Ferry now booked for an audi porn weekend 25-28th of this month at die Eiffel in the company of like minded ralle fans.

http://www.eifel-rallye-festival.de/...ady-to-go.html

The only fly in the ointment was my transport as the mot has run out.
So booked an mot for the old girl yesterday convinced that she would fail with a long list of items needed.
So imagine my surprise to find that the only items needed were a number plate bulb and 5 mins of work required to sort a couple of other bits out.
So new mot, cost of said labor,parts all for the princely sum of £57 is a bargain me thinks
The pearl must really want to go back to her homeland for the first time since she was made


Waiting ..........it's like going to the dentists!!!!!





Mot!



I am really looking forward to this .........cannot wait

She's looking lovely Amanda, glad to see you take off the plates to clean properly behind!!
That's quite a collection you're building there, that red one behind soooo needs a cut!

Thanks Amanda,

Can't get enough of Ur Quattros. I think white is becoming my new favourite colour.
