BILLCOR 1 Posted January 19, 2008 Travelled down to Scunthorpe last night to pick up a new "family" car, A4 1.8T Quattro S-Line, boring but comfartable motorway drive back until closer to home, some nice country roads :D Probably be the most I'll ever get to drive it, at least the other halfs happy, I hope :luvlove: :norty: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quattro's are not as "common" :) No lowering, Its 18's thats on it, maybe not the nicest but no point forking out a pile of cash for the other half to kerb, its more or less hers anyway and she just doesn't understand the whole concept of "upgrading" :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted January 20, 2008 Lovely car mate! I like those rims a lot too... a lot of the SCN guys have fitted them to their Leons which looks cool! Planning to replace the Rivage in the spring so may just have to look into A4's now 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

staffs_til_i_die 0 Posted January 20, 2008 Nice mate. I'm hopefully starting a new job soon which will involve a much bigger commute. The 25mpg I get out of my Valver just isn't going to cut it, so will no doubt have to sell, and get something more sensible. Thinking of a diesel, but out of interest, how many mpg do you get out of the A4? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thinking of a diesel, but out of interest, how many mpg do you get out of the A4? Its the 1.8T petrol, I only collected it yesterday morning, averaged 32mpg on the 300 and odd miles home, obviously observing the speed limits :lol: its replacing a 1.9, 130bhp diesel Passat which happily averages 45mpg, BTW, its for sale once I get the P/plate removed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

12 DEG BEN 0 Posted January 21, 2008 Have you seen the trailer for the follow up to "life on mars". The cops got an 80s audi 100. He says "fire up the quattro" in a manor only he can.

12 DEG BEN 0 Posted January 23, 2008 Was a very silly ending. At least dallas had a shower scene of sorts. And thats my inner child shouting FIRE IT UP. I want to behave like a kid for as long as possible. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
