She can do it but not with m539 on it because then you get into problems with logos and copyright

Yes of course, it was the caption I was interested in.

Idle check of X5s online...unfortunate wording on the advert with the second sentence abruptly cut off.

[BigBen]

Anyone as upset as I am that the programme currently on Channel 5 called "celebrity barging" is about some b-listers on a boat and not oversized cheap cars.

Is a 57 plate Audi A6 Le Mans Avant in keeping with this thread and if so would any of you gents be interested in purchasing one for a reasonably bargain price?

4.2 petrol, yes. Stinky small capacity Euro 5 diesel, that's more the usual reaction you'll get to Audi on PH.

Oh ok no worries. It’s a 2.7tdi so I’ll stick it on eBay cheers...

I'd be buying one of these to have a proper look before splashing that cash on one

Got one of those!

Link please.

Probably best saved for Friday. That's when the, you know, 'niche' stuff happens.

I take it you were hoping to see David Dickinson in a s500 with interior matching his skin?

Post a link to it if you put it somewhere like Guntree first, which is free, there are people here who may be interested.

Turbo is about £300 from various aftermarket sources and around 3 hours to fit.

Bosch injector for a 642 coming up on autodoc for about £180. Fitting will either take an hour or two or all day depending on how corroded it is.

You will want to check the electrical bits within the Vee to make sure that the turbo hasn't spat too much oil into them (it probably will have).

You'll probably want to have the oil cooler seals done whilst the turbo is being done as well.

Soo... About £600-700 in parts plus at least a day of your friendly indie/mechanic's time.

I would be all over that if it wasn't going to be banned from London very shortly

Thank you so much everyone for all the responses. I live in Zone 5 and although not close to Central London, the ULEZ charge will render this pretty unusable. I looked at the MOT history and in the past 2 years all the serious defects mysteriously got fixed in 1 day.

A question on MOT - If you fail an MOT, does the MOT reference number change when you get it retested? Or does it change if you go to a new centre?

JC... post it anyway. Most cars find love here, albeit some only find it from the especially sad losers. Estates generally go down well and most of us could be tempted into anything if the price is right. There is always lots to learn about anything.

Oh, and ignore Macron's grumpiness, he gets tetchy when nurse is late with the tablets.

[Macron]

Ooh, are there tablets today???

I like the look of your surgical team, doc.

It’s a long and good Friday this one!

Group buy lads?

Feel free to pick up where I totally failed.

That was a good read, though to be fair you seemed to have been perennially kicking the can down the road due to the influx of content.

Perhaps another factor was the rate of knots at which the next two volumes proceeded, due to the covid effect.

I think a mug is a more likely purchase than a T shirt.

Ian316, what do you reckon?

Any other chaps interested in this? Any ideas for design?

It's a shame M539Restorations doesn't do his poster as a mug as I'd buy it just to support his excellent channel.

I’d be in for mug rather than a T-shirt. The CdG “The 1-5k” suggestion was good, or perhaps “You’ve embarrassed yourself there”.

Some other suggestions involving the work bork shoehorned into common phases left me cold.

“Top hole” might work.

Is blue on blue just too much?

I know it's the devil's juice, but someone has offered me a E39 530D touring for £500. What's the running costs like on them?

“Keep It OEM” seems a pretty stupid caption to me. If you are on a budget then non OEM parts make a lot of sense. Particularly when (for example) you can buy a stainless steel exhaust back box for less than original mild steel one.

Another nice looking Audi:

Really like the look of these, hopefully if my commuting mileage stays low I’ll be looking for one of these late summer,
