  • Don't tell my wife...

    Some of you may know me from a few years ago when I bought a damaged 3B (without telling my missus) 2 weeks before my 1st son was born
    Well I've just bought a CQ20v and haven't told her yet. That can wait for a while until it's on the driveway. So don't mention it on facebook please
    But I had to post it here because I'm pretty chuffed with the purchase. If it's as genuine as the advert I think I'm going to be pretty happy with it http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-Coupe...torefresh=true

    And so begins the "totally stock" versus "just a coupe of mods" internal debate. Just a couple. honest. the interior. and steering wheel. and wooden trims... and.. and.. oh-oh.

    Very Nice and original!! Panthero Metallic is a beautiful colour and looks in great shape.
    If you decide to stray from standard keep all the parts so you can replace when the
    market values originality more than modifications. Very nice find!!

          Welcome back Noel.
          For what this cost me so far I could have bought an S2

            Thanks gents
            Yeah I'm really happy with the find. I've had a few searches saved on ebay for the 5 years I've been in Finland and I've seen a few interesting cars. I even came close to buying a 3B at one point. But this car really seems to be well cared for and man I've missed the sound of a 5 pot and... so many things about a coupe. I love my A4 but.. well, I don't have to explain to anyone on here do I?

            And yeah I'm sure a whole section or maybe forum could be called "don't tell my wife"

                Cheers, I def will.
                I should point out by the way that the 150 quid offer on ebay was the deposit paid by paypal. the rest is going by bank transfer. 150 would have been nice but sadly I paid a bit more

                  Welcome back Noel. It's great to see that your passion for coupes hasn't left you. The CQ looks to be in lovely original condition.

                        Congrats on the purchase Noel!
                        I know exactly how you feel... I was reluctant to tell my gf about the CQ20V I was going to buy, and I didn't tell her about the 3B S2 coupe until about a day or two before delivery...
                        (whoops didn't post about that S2 on here yet)
                        The good part is, we never had any arguements over it.
                        The bad part... well, I hardly ever manage to find time to work on those cars

                        Good luck!

                          Welcome back!
                          I always tell my wife about the cars I've bought (well, the ones within sight anyway)
                          I stash the rest on my mates farm now.
                          I've decided to be a hoarder there instead, and have about 6 cars lined up ready once I finish my building work.

                            Looks a good'un, just need orange indicators on the front

                            Very original looking, did spot it on my ebay browsing to be honest

                              thanks guys. it does feel good to be back. and yeah I think I'll tell the missus when I'm nipping out for.. erm.. a few days to pick up a car in the UK and drive it back to Finland. It would probably be rude if I said I was going out for milk and came back a week later with a car. although not the first time. well.. I popped out to see a mate for an hour and came back 6 hours later with a coupe.

                              so anyway.. Sandy, I think my neighbours would take exception to the same pile of cars I used to have in Glasgow. Plus I can't bloody afford them here. Hence buying a 24 year old French car in Wales! Thankfully I have a decent double garage so I have space to work on it without offending the neighbours too much. My boys are always shouting about a black racing car so I have a feeling that if I still have it in another 10 years or so I might be back pedalling on my ancient promises to supply them with a black audi racing car
