Thanks Nick  :smiley:

Bought the roof box for when we go camping. Laylah is only getting bigger and I'm fed up on everything being crammed in. A roof box is significantly cheaper than a new car  :grin:

Keeping a car long term is normally determined by my finances and the fact apart from a MK7 GTD nothing tickles my fancy. The Audi is still young in mileage terms having just hit 91,0000 so plenty (hopefully!) of life left..........

Highly recommend the MK7 :wink:

So the day before going on holiday my neighbour decided to reverse into the rear bumper..... :whistle:

Finally got it sorted this week  :smiley:  Bit of a blessing in disguise as it was very badly scratched from moving house last year........

In the booth


And fresh paint






Also had Dean to repair my scuffed alloy after my arguement with a kerb



In other news I had another of the Forge pipes removed - only got one of the blighters left on the car now  :laugh:

Next month will mark 5 years of ownership!!  :shocked:

So started looking at B8's  :lipsrsealed:

Passed the MOT with no advisories  :smug:

Next week will mark 5 years of ownership and nearly 70,000 miles

Have started buying a few suspension bits over the last couple of months. Just need to decide on the main components i.e the springs and shocks

I still remember the conversation we had as you sent me a link to the car I thought I was buying from an Audi dealer  :laugh: :laugh:

Yeah it is and that's enough in my book!!

So 5 years and 70,000 miles later it passed another MOT without any advisories  :smiley:

So in return the satnav decided to pack up which just cost me £200 to fix  :lipsrsealed: :angry:

Got a complete set of top mounts and rear bump stops ready for the suspension refresh which would have happened this month if the satnav didn't have a hissy fit

Needs a service and I may get around to wiring up the auto dimming mirror I bought last year  :whistle:
