    shall i sell?

    thinking of selling (only thinking so far) my white quattro
    done about 600 miles this year, only about 1200 since i built it!
    it sits in the garage laughing at me for putting so much money and time into it for it not to be used!
    i cant take the kids in it (baby seat or roll cage, not both) and the mrs refuses to go near it (good point!)
    but what to have instead
    views please on following motors
    bi turbo s4
    s8
    m5
    merc c43
    xjr jag-blown of course!
    could fit the family in and be a polisher at shows
    mid life crisis time!
    or get my finger out, get it all sorted n fit some seats in the back

      Totally depends on your budget!

      But, if you want to stay with 4wd and a daily driver that goes like s*ht and well made, a good S4/RS4 bi-turbo (from your list) can't be beaten (IMHO) for the money! Total sleepers with a big kick in the *ss!

                c43 is a great piece of kit and quite cheap and rapid,i personally think the s4 bi turbo
                need to much money chucking at them to make them feel special but nice car none the less.

                  Agree, you will think that its too smooth and refined compared to your quattro.

                  Apparantly you need around 800bhp to get it to feel like the quattro probably does.

                  Tbh i'd keep it and get something else for the family, because its not a full on ur quattro (no offense its a nice looking car) then people would probably want to offer hardly anything for it and might end up stripping it, might be better to see if you can source a cheap fun family car?

                    Add a UrS4\6 on your list! ^^ 20vT's, or a V8! The UrS6 Plus is a nice and unique choice too! A lot of space in the interior, choose saloon or estate. Quattro system included! I'm just saying! hehe Cheers!

                          I m tempted to just buy a v8 something or other to get it out of my system and keep the quattro until I m in a better mood to do something with it
                          I m selling the 20 valve b3 i bought eariler in the year and the track day gt so I ll have some cash-fancy a jag as i ve not had one for a few years
                          I was just as daft with it last year, bought a 325tdse b*w, lowered, chipped, pretty quick and nice inside, but i got fed up after 3 weeks and sold it (profit of course)

                            please make sure the person who buys the CQ doesn't break it Dave - its got a really rare spec, if i had the cash i'd buy it off you
