    Long time no see chaps.

    How's things chaps? not been on for an age.
    Too much work and not enough time. Least the pay's good :mischeif:

    My S2 has been having some surgery, new headgasket, new cambelt, waterpump, tensioner, pulley etc etc, new main rad, new aux rad and a host of small things while the access was good. Pick her up from my local specialists tomorrow.
    One odd thing we came across, the head gasket that came off was a paper one. First time the heads been off since new too. Another Audi curveball

    The soot monster still soldiers on. That car has paid for itself a hundred fold.

    Other news. Was looking and had been to see three B5 RS4's (all three didn't meet the mark) but that's now out of the window as...................I'm going to be a dad
    Currently looking at B6/B7 S4 Avants.

    Hope you are all well

    Good to see your back jas, you've helped me out a time or two with your wisdom.
    Know all about the dad thing, just had our second a week ago.

    Congradulations .

    Better make the most of the forum, got a feeling you'll be doing a disappearing act again when that baby arrives

            Hi Jas, good to see you back too. I've also been guilty of not frequenting here enough, due also to workload but also the impending sale of the S2...BUT that's all off now!!

            and congratulations on your good news! you should be able to pick up a nice B6/7 now

              Thanks mate,yes the nerves are a bit on the shredded side atm.But it is a bit like waiting in limbo,you know at any moment something is going to happen.

                Ha, just seen and replied to your thread Clive. Glad you are hanging onto her.
                Can't wait to get mine back tomorrow. It's great to do the sooty/S2 thing.
                Jump out of the TDi into the S2, Hehe, what a difference. Makes the S2 feel like the millennium falcon.

                The B6/B7 S4's are very keenly priced at the minute, spoilt for choice too.

                  I'm already starting to get the "you have to help me more" stuff from Allie.
                  So, I've decided to actually supervise her doing the washing up and hoovering
