Weres the pic of the audi badge?
U always get new cars mate

I will take a picture after work.. I know this one is a keeper though it's just to much of a easy cruiser.. The mini was a pig in traffic this is much better



Shall we open a book on how long you will actually keep it  :tongue:

AUDI FTMFW  :cool: :grin: :grin:

2 years atleast get my insurance down and save a bit of money. Audi ftmfw !!!

How old are you and how much are you paying at the mo? (If you don't mind me asking :))

I paid £1068 back in January, hopefully it will drop on my renewal as I'm 21 in a couple of weeks :)

unfortunately im 20 with only 2 years no claims not 3 as was slow passing test (no money)... Ive checked renewal for next year and it should be £1400 which is a big drop for me as pay £2300 at the mo with adrian flux..

Ah right, yeah that will be the different :( I've got 3 years NCB, but that is deffo a healthy drop so can't grumble at that :cool: At least its an economical motor thats got some poke :smiley:

Not yet but theres a few guides on the interweb.. i need to buy the centre console for it but thats £45ish the button should be £45 aswell but got it for £25 as there a small mark on it but i cant complain..  I know its technically not keyless but still looks the part imo  :smiley:

Could well be worn inner joints, grab the shaft and see if you have any play.
