The New Family Bus

[leeds_182]

Well, it looks like the mrs is expecting our second child so the five door corsa I had before had to go for something a bit bigger.

I decided to go German and went for an audi estate 1.9 tdi sport (130) on a 54 plate.

Really happy with it so far. Car feels tight as a drum despite the age. Also went for the auto which is silky smooth.

Heres a few shots anyway;

Perfect for what you need!

 

[Sarah]

v nice

congrats on No 2

 

[_Tom]

Nice. My mate has one and its a lovely place to be.

 

[leeds_182]

It's a smooth ride. Never thought I'd like the auto box but I'm definately getting used to it.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

How is it for diesel?

 

[leeds_182]

How is it for diesel?

Not bad. All the power comes at once and then it's gone but it drives nice. I'm considering a remap as it should give me 160 - 170bhp and s**t loads more torque.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Aye i was just about to mention the re-map it'll pull like a train afterwards!

Id love the replica BBS CH's on these, thats atleast how i would have my imaginery B7 RS4 Avant

Nice! Hard to tell from the pics, is that Akoya Silver?

What spec has it got?

 

[Gaz.]

Bloody hell Jim, another car! Will make a good family bus though.

 

[leeds_182]

Yeah, it's akoyo silver.

It's just got the sports bits on it, climate control and that's about it.

 

[fUbAr]

Nice! same colour as my A3. Makes me wish I had gone for the A4 avant instead tbh. Many miles on it?

 

[leeds_182]

Tell me about it! I've had the Saxo, vectra, exclusive, corsa, 106 and now the Audi all this year.

new bumper and bonnet are needed...

 

[Gaz.]

Oh, apparently the mushroom farm is on fire again. At this rate you'll have nowhere to photo your cars!

 

[leeds_182]

Happy with it as it is at the moment. I'd like to drop it on coilies but wouldn't want to ruin the ride.

Ha ha ha - they might find some more remains when the dust settles.

I agree, it looks spot on. I like the twin grill front end... was just replying to Ian's post

Remains? Have I missed something?

 

[leeds_182]

Ooooops.

Cheers. In response to your earlier question, it's done 84k with full history. Can't fault the way it drives even with that mileage.

 

[leeds_182]

Just to prove I can keep a car longer than three months, I have still got this!

 

[RSteve]

Shocker!

 

[leeds_182]

Still looks fresh too!

 

[Daz.]

Yup like that a lot!

 

[Matthew]

Really like it mate. Colour is ace.

 

[Daniel]

What happened to the blingy wheels?

 

[leeds_182]

What happened to the blingy wheels?

Our lass kerbed them on the first outing. I sold them.

 

[leeds_182]

 

[jesus]

Which wheels are the blingy ones?

 

[leeds_182]

Which wheels are the blingy ones?

19s baby!

 

[jesus]

Oh yeah! F- curbing those.

 

[Matthew]

Think the ones you've got on now are better

 

[leeds_182]

I need lowz with the 19s.

 

[leeds_182]

Little thread bump.

Still got this 7 years on and just turned over 200k miles. By far the longest I've ever owned a car (by about 7 years) and a proper work horse.

Front wings have started to go and have been quoted £600 for a pair of replacements painted.

 

[Craig]

That's some good going that mate.

 

[imprezaworks]

Quote for paint seems a lot?

 

[leeds_182]

Quote for paint seems a lot?

Two places both quoted the same money. I can get two ready painted wings off eBay for £200 but I'm pretty sure the colour match will be pants.
