        Haha I love my avant but it hates me since the summer haha. Mine like Ryan's is milking me for everything it can these days which is not helpful having brought my first house last summer. I may call mine gold digger mk2, after Ryan's haha. Will I keep it forever??? Only until I get totally annoyed with it and it changes into an S or RS4, 6 or 8

            'Digger' is a lovely name, imagine trying to explain it to a new Beau....

                      I will NEVER sell my s2. I hope to pass it on to our Liam when, and only when I am no longer capable of driving.
                      By this time it should have had every sensible mod done and be super quick!
                      I will be involved with this car until I am no longer of this mortal coil, actually I would like to use it for my funeral as it is a coffin carrier!

                        Well done to the guys who've had their pride+joys so long..wow-double figures..I've never owned a car for longer than 4 yrs..thus wary of making extravagant claims about 'forever'!! My coupe I've had for 3 yrs and 26,000mls; recently has come very close to being a breaker,but it's finally going into the garage on Sat. for a 'rebirth', so yup, muchos £££S and at the end of it I may be totally in love again! Glad I'm saving it anyway...and of course it is the most involving car I've ever owned

                          My S2 avant married me 11 years ago (for life) she was young with only 48000km, 11 years later she turned 200000km and still with FASH and no problems yet but she finally blown her first bulb (a lincense plate one!) so she´s getting to 19 this year and who didn´t blew a bulb or two in those crazy years!!!

                              Loving cars is like marriage....

                              If you do get a "Good One" That does what she's told and "Never complains", Take's it when and where you want & like's it.

                              Doesn't through a paddy or show's you up in front of your mates.

                              Then it can be the one and only true love...

                              BUT as soon as she starts messing you about & costing you more money than you are getting pleasure... Just See how long the happiness lasts...
