Audi enthusiast - really?

[AngryS3Owner]

I'm not sure what the rest of you think, but as this has been linked from the homepage for the last few days I can't resist saying something any longer... How can someone buy a 4WD Audi and NOT drive it in the wet?

Also I'm sure it's a lovely car, but I wouldn't want to buy a car that's not been used for 6 months! In this spirit that all advertising is good here's a linky and what I'm on about:

It has been garaged from day one and has not been used throughout the winter - this car is far too nice for use on rainy days! Can you tell that I am an Audi enthusiast?

And your point is??

...

Why get so wound up over nothing?

My point is, if you're going to buy a car that your only going to use in the dry I'd say don't bother with 4WD and get something really special. I'm not so wound up, I just find it strange that someone would buy a car then not use it, especially one that's so good in the wet.

But maybe he is the enthusiast that he says he is and just likes to sit and look at it, some people are like that you know?

Others drive them and take care off them.

Others like to thrash the nuts off of them, then wonder why they break and then dont work.

People and their habits are very different, if you hadnt noticed. Good job too

It doesnt need to be wet to enjoy 4WD

No, but it helps, a lot.

If you were buying a car just to look at wouldn't you get something a little more attractive?

There's another group too - drivers that drive their cars hard and take care of them.

Yes you can get an S3 for over £30k, you can also get a 1-series for over £30k and a Golf too

My S3 would have cost the chap that ordered it over £27,000 and that was back in 2000.
