So who beat me to it?
 

Saw this on ebay and have been watching it all week, sitting at a nice price with a few seconds to go and I stuck in a bid but the previous bidder obviously thought it was worth more than me :tuttut:

what did it go for

Went for £102.00 or there abouts

The vendor sent me a message through ebay saying he had another one and would let me have a second chance at my bid price...So I will post some pictures when it arrives and I fit it in the garage :D :D

nice , that will look great on the wall, i would end up redecorating the garage like a mini showroom, tiled floor, glass front, reception desk with nice looking but smug snooty girl sitting at it.

Can I find one of them on ebay? :ROFL:

I had thought about tiling the floor. I spoke with one of my clients who has a tiling business and was told that the red quarry tiles were the only ones I should use as they are the toughest. If I used standard highly polished tiles they would eventually break and I would spend half my time replacing them, so I won't be going down that route


The Audi sign is just under 4' x 2' so should look the part once I manage to make up brackets for hanging it on the wall

red quarry tiles dont sound like they would have as much impact, though still preferable to the sludge on mine thanks to an asbesdos leaky roof. not that i can fit the 8 in it anyway, it was built in a time when cars were obviosly much smaller

its a great find though

When I put the floor in my garage it was very dusty, I left it to cure for almost 8 months then hires a concrete grinder to remove the top surface, this left a hard non dusty surface which I then sealed and although not as nice as a tiled surface it is very practical

The sign has arrived, what a bit of kit, brand new in the box.


It looks to have been made for Audi as a showroom sign.

Sorry the tool boxes are in the pictures David :D

What would it look like on the front of the A8? :ROFL:

Might cause a bit of overheating :-(

Looks like I need another part to complete my sign

Don't worry Amanda, size isn't everything :ROFL: :ROFL:

I know it's how it's used but yours looks so good in the garage :ROFL: maybe I should pinch my dealers SIGN Or troll eBay :rolleyes:

They're all gone http://www.pmwf.com/Phorum/mods/smil...ns/whistle.gif

Do I detect that you might have been a bit greedy???:tuttut:

The Audi sign was looking a little dark stuck up on the wall so I decided it needed some form of illumination. Pleased with it now +++

Looks good - can we come there and have a test drive?? :rolleyes:

The door's open anytime your ever in rainy Glasgow +++

I am heading though glasgow on the 14 and then back again on the 16 of this month.......do you do black coffee and a mint/choc chip muffin like my dealers???? If so can you accommodate a scruffy rs6??

Hmm...The coffee isn't a problem but I might struggle with the mint/choc chip muffin although I'm sure I could rustle up a piece on square sliced with broon sauce and a tattie scone :ROFL:

Seriously, if you are in the area drop me a pm and if I'm not working we can meet up +++

Ohhhh the Scotish eq of a bacon butty ....even better :) you have a pm :)

Is this just a cosy wee twosome? or could we possibly turn it into another mini Jock meet, I am sure I could source some mint choc muffins from somewhere:p

Sorry Brian, but you're NOT INVITED...:tuttut: :tuttut:














Only joking, will let you know nearer the time whether I'm available or not...

No an game for a mini meet :) You have a pm!

You missed the 'T' Amanda :hammer:

Oops sorry :(

OK looks like we have a possible mini meet then, we need to decide on which day and a venue, and then I will stick a post up in the members meets section, guess it depends on when and where you are around the Glasgow area Amanda?

Oops, another sign arrived today :D

An upmarket snow plough?

(Yes, thanks for the shots of the toolboxes John, I have missed out on twoI have bid for..... ):(

No tool box shots there David

This went through ebay a few days ago, bit of a bargain that I was tempted to bid on but sadly forgot...Click

Dont know why but I went to the front of the thread and responded to posts a few months back and not the latest Rover sign :o.... doh.

I shall be checking in to the home for the permanently bewildered on Monday. :-(

If that's the case I'll collect your car Monday evening as you won't be requiring it again :ROFL::ROFL:
