    Hi, another newbie looking to buy in

    Hi, I'm dave.
    I'm brother of greenm3 who goes on here. Decided I want into the audi brand now. I've been through a fair few cars in the past 3 years of my driving career and not been able to stick to one, and crashed one recently which is why im car hunting .
    Past my test 3 years ago and started on mums volvo 940 2.3 lpt, then bought a mk2 golf gti 16v (hence username!), sold that and bought a 280bhp volvo 850 t5 saloon, sold that for profit and bought a 205 gti 1.6 which lasted 3 weeks as i hated it!
    Then bought a great car, a volvo 850 T5 estate with lots of mods running 310bhp lots of gizmos, only fwd though so interesting putting the power down!!! Sold that, regretably now, for a decent profit and decided to treat myself with a BMW 328i sport. This is where it all went wrong!!
    Drove the BMW 4 days and engine went so 2k on new engine, spent another few thousand on getting up to perfect original condition only to spin it when id only got a little bit of leather to repair and a tiny patch of rust writing it off. Its sat on my driveway now waiting for breaking.
    Anyway thought I'd say hi and hopefully i can find a way into 4 wheel drive turbo power!

            Hoping around £700 for the engine, £300 for the alloys, a bit for the gearbox etc etc. Hoping about £1500 before i get bored and get it taken away!!! Ive got some monies tucked away and am considering getting a small loan and paying it over a year to help get what i want.
