Hi,
Basicly as it goes i had a nova and was a member here about a year ago...having arsed around with various other cars including a modified cinquecento, a micra, and now an audi 80 i've not found anything else that put a smile on my face as much as that little 1200 rotbox did
Looking for another one, i've not got any cash to part with...but i do have this:
Black, 1.9TDI, 10 months MOT, 4 months tax (or it will have on saturday) alloy wheels, electric mirrors, electric windows, electric sunroof, leather steering wheel, tinted windows in the back (looks good, and useful if taking kids on long journeys in the summer - no need to worry about sunburn) cd player, just had a full service (filters, engine flush, fresh coolant), the alternator and pump belts changed, a new water pump. Had two new wishbones at a cost of £119.00 two weeks ago (common fault with the 80's, but all sorted so nothing to worry about for a long time to come) I've got a service history up to about 75,000 miles stamped in the manual, its now done 157,000.
Great reliable car, galvanised bodyshell so they dont rust, it'll give you 50mpg all day long (which given the fuel prices is a blessing) never misses a beat. Most of the tdi's go on to do well over 250,000 miles (check the audi forums! theres a fellah on there who's past 280,000 and still running like clockwork)
now the bad. its got a few little stone chips up the drivers side thanks to a f***ing gritter, and a dent on the passengers rear arch where someone clipped it (hence price - have been quoted £150 to get it knocked out and the paint touched up). One of the little audi badges is missing the front part on the drivers wing...but now im just nitpicking.
I've been as honest as i can, the mileage will go up as it is in daily use at the moment doing approx 400-500 miles a week (as it has done scince i've owned it...so you know it wont let you down) I've spent at least £500 on this car in the past 3 months or so, so please no silly offers or timewasters as i've had before.
Forgot to add - the car has had a "tuning box" fitted to it, with a "sport" mode switch to kick the power up when its needed, also has had a swoosh boost gauge and TIM pod fitted to it at the same time. I've found the box to be very good for giving that extra shunt whilst overtaking...it's a lot quicker than you'd expect from an old diesel

Im open to pretty much anything as long as its rot free, modified, standard, not picky - can probbably come up with a few hundred to go with the audi...but would have to be for something very nice!!!
Ideally a 1.3SR would be spot on it, or anything carbed!
I'll keep checking this over the next few days so either PM me or post up here if you've got something in mind. :thumb:
