Nice...?

I don't think you will get insured on an Audi quattro turbo, that will be more than getting insured on a vr6!
As far as i know the GL5 has the 5 cylinder 2.2 10v Audi engine, about 140bhp i think.

^^^^^ I owned and ran one of those for 11 years, great car. Just as quick as my previously owned mk1 Golf GTI. You do however lose a bit of the 'fun' factor due to the size of the car, if you know what I mean

the audi quattro is a nice pipe dream mallows,

but back to reality, it would cost you an arm and a leg to get it insured,

cant fault you for wanting to try tho mate

mucas cl, lmao every time i see it

having a look at the pics brings back memories for me goin to the rallyes at wollaton park and seeing some of the quattros in the flesh, there beasts mate

Fully agree really. It was an either or situation, but both are very hopeful really. Went and had a look at the GL5 today, very good condition on the outside, only a little rust on some of the arches... Interior ain't so good, but still not bad! Seats are in better condition than mine.... I don't want to get one though and have trouble bringing it up to standard cos of lack of parts etc... It does need a bit of love too. Am going to test drive it soon   Cant wait! Unsure about a 5 cylinder though, mightn't be too smooth? Had any experiences with that? Rich, did you mean a quattro or a GL5 that you owned? I think its a 2.0 litre, with the audi engine, but really don't have a clue! It was a bit before my time! It was a nice car to sit in, more luxuries than mine, and a nice big feeling! Have uploaded some pics into my gallery, when there approved i'll post em in here, be warned though, theres a fiat in the way!

[marcus123]

hey i had a five cylinder fiat,

it wasnt bad mallows!

I used to have the 2.0 and 2.2, 5 cylinder coupe GT. Probably the same thing as the GL5 that you mention. The one that I ran for 11 years was the 2.0litre JS engined one. Bought a smashed 2.2 for spares but never really needed any...........performance wise there was nothing between them...........both were quick

You gotta go for 5 cylinders if you can...........so smooth and sound great

[JMallows]

I've heard that 5 cylinders aren't as smooth as four or 6, and i would presume as its not as balanced? But hey, i haven't driven it yet!

Probably not as good, mine would be a GL, but yours was a GT? How much should i pay for a D reg GL5, in average condition then? 150,000 miles. PAS, central locking, electric windows, sunroof etc...

Showoff!!  

Althugh, while your here, as your pretty much the same age as me... How much does it cost for your insurance? And is it in your name?

[Blue MK2]

im 19 next week.

Its all on my name fully comp with elephant.co.uk

ill PM u the amount i pay lol

edited: The reason ive ended up with a Gti is because i fell in love with the thing, then bought it without even thinking of the insurance costs cos i just had to have it.

By the way i like the silver audi better
