Hi,
I have been on this forum since the days when it was on Yahoo groups back in 2001 as S2 central. My kingfisher S2 coupe (Stu) has been a blinder of a car--doubt i'll ever have one as memorable or which gets me out of trouble as quickly. Where i live now the closest track is a 6.5 hr drive away and the law does nothing but catch motorists (There aint a great deal of other crime i suppose here). The car came with me from Middlesbrough in 2005 to Adelaide initially, then came the 1400 mile hike to Boyne Island in Queensland where i have settled with my Wife, had a son, got a dog and the S2 became impractical and just something to get me to and from work and as such became a waste of potential.
6 month ago i bought a fully loaded VW Touareg V6 Tdi "Individual" with air suspension, sat nav, reversing camera, powered open/close tailgate, 30gb Hd,, driver & passenger elec memory seats, DVD, sunroof, dynamic HID Bixenons, 6 disc multichanger, and the list goes on and on.
The Toe rag gets me down the beach, up some 4x4 paths and outback with the family in tow.
Other than my first car (Nova SR>>>Kevin) my Automotive history has been very predictable.
First my Audi Coupe 2.0E (GIL5203>>>Gilbert as we called him)
Next my VW Golf Driver (L826VWP>>>>Purple Ronnie)
Next my Audi S2 coupe (L377SUG>>>>Stu)
And now my Touareg Tdi (304RPS>>>>>Terry)
So all males and Audi>VW>Audi>VW---I'm predicting an Audi next--quite fancy the V10 RS6--so i'll keep terry for a few years then see where i stand.
This Forum has been a mine of information and i have made a favourites list of thousands of issues people have had over the years and categorised them from engine mech, engine elec, dash elec, interior, ice suspension, brakes etc etc, the new owner is a gentleman from Sydney who is an audi nut and plans to restore Stu to a mint condition with a little tweaking from 034motorsport. His name is Pat and he'll no doubt be on here at some point.
I'll remain a member and look in from time to time, thanks to all who have helped over the years with issues. Hope your cars become family heirlooms, like my S2 was, my S2 was the other person in our marriage and got a mention in the wedding vows as my wife had tough competition getting me away from Stu.
Take care and i'll see you round.
Graham
