I moved a slightly different direction after realised I did not have the cash for a decent two seater any time in the near future.

Nothing wrong with them mate.

As soon as I get space to work on cars I'll be on ittttttttttt. Once I have a working car I'll try and rent space somewhere if I can't get a house with sufficient space.

Regarding the earlier question about a small car for my GF, it looks like she's going to go for a Yaris. They seem pretty good for the money.

i read somewhere someone can map the gearbox ecu to make the gear change delay very minimal

They are good boxes and a decent car overall! Enjoy man

if I could drive it I would enjoy it much more, from tomorrow on I'm not allowed to drive a car anymore for about a year or so

That A6 looks great, they must be dirty its a rule.
Great engine with the autotronic its works really well.

Name and date in the pic's is a good idea.

I'm not really a fan of those type of cars, more of a new age guy, but I still appreciate the beauty of these mercs, although I would kick the guy that decided to camber this beauty in the nuts any day........

Cars like that are really only worth anything to the person that built them.
Sounds like a crazy car.
