(when it finally arrives) an Audi Treser quattro roadster..
hi seamus, is that the red one that was at a dealer in Manchester? Was tempted as I thougyt it was great value for such a great special individual car. I Remember them clearly when they first came out. I'm sure you will enjoy it!
Think Sean's is the original Motorshow car, the one in Manchester purports to be, but apparently isn't. Sure Sean will be along to explain, he's a quattro anorak amongst others
Hi Boshly, yep Steve is correct - it's all here. Still some work to be done but enjoying it all the same.

Cheers guys. Nice car seamus. Love to see it sometime.

Live and work in Slough. Until recently I had a purple VW lwb beach buggy. Sold it to my cousin and bought one this.

Every day car is an Alfa 145 T spark. Buying a house changed my priorities (I used to spend half my wages on my Pug 205 MI16) but having joined PH's I want to get a Noble M400 a bit soon that originally anticipated.

On the brightside, my Alfa has the reg M400 NBL

I considered buying a C70 T5 coupe. Very nice car but decided against it mainly because I don't have off road parking.

2.4L I test drove was a bit gutless compared to the 2.3L automatic I borrowed from a friend.

Thought the value of the car was good. 1 year old and fully loaded. Black, cream leather with 17's, lowered, sports exhaust, strut brace and quoted as 270bhp due the the exhaust. The car had 3500 miles on it and had depreciated from the 35k list for this to 19k. Well worth while in my view, and to be honest does shift in a straight line ! Only change made was to upgrade the brakes to DS2500's all round, 302 discs and braided hoses.

Love the clio! Awesome little car which surprises alot of more expensive machinery! The only thing which lets the car down for alot of people is the seating position, but as im a short arse its ideal for me! Had it since November last year, but i work away from home alot at the moment so drive a van then so its my weekend toy! What golf have you got? Im down just off the Tring road in Aylesbury.

I've got an 94 Golf 1.8CL on an L plate (Its got a couple of PH Stickers on it!)

I'm a short arse as well at 5ft 7" so I think it should be ok for me. My better half has a 1.2 16v Clio which i've driven a few times and found comfortable.

Just going to get the move out of the way then start looking at getting one when my office moves from Wooburn Green to Wendover (That should save me a few miles on the commute!)
