Okay folks, poor Ross is quite down-hearted atm. I need you guys to give him a bit of support! (There's only so much I can do, *pat his back, give him a kiss...etc etc* You guys can truly empathise I'm sure.)
So here's story:
Ross takes his car to Corey, who is highly experienced in the Audi machanics. Ross posted a thread to keep you all update on his "Project Avant++".
Altho suspicions were raised after 3 months and no car...Ross Finally got his hands on his beloved S2 Audi on Saturday 22nd Sept. He drove the 3 hour route home and got there safely.
All seemed good when Sunday 23rd rolled by. On his way to Gloucester, to visit moi, Ross experienced some rather....awful car troubles on the M4.
Blue smoke emitted from the exhausted, loud banging noises could be heard from the bonnet and the car juddered to a halt and sort of died. Poor Ross was stuck on the side of the motorway, in the freezing cold and merciless downpour of rain...waiting for AA.
*sigh* Yesterday was a very sad day.
Still, I have to express my thoughts here. I might not know too much about cars or specifically Audis. However, my dad taught me a thing or two about engines and personal experience taught me how things can go wrong.
My parents had a Volvo estate and took it to a garage to have a new engine put in. The guys at the garage advised against this because a new engine in an old machine is a bad idea. Granted, if you replace the break pads, do some fine tuning and other adjustments to the rest of the parts, in theory, the car should keep up with it. Unfortunately it didn't work out for my parents - and it most certainly didn't work out with Ross' car either.
The reason why I never said anything before was because I didn't think it was my place, I mean I could hear you all shouting "What does she know?" "Go do your hair" etc etc. *absent-mindedly plays with hair*
I'm curious to know what the guys were thinking when they attempted to place a powerful engine in a tired old car. -*smirks, I can already hear the retorts in response to that sentence*
This thread is just an oppitunity for everyone to discuss the situation and give Ross some support!
