To right James (on that note, if it had been a boy, he'd have been called James )
What more could a man ask for?
A beautiful daughter,
A beautiful fiance,
A nice home,
An RS4,
And a beautiful B6 A4.
If I drank, I think I'd get pished  |

Bizarrely, if I had been born a girl (no smart ass comments anyone!) I would have been called Charlotte.... Small world! |

Small world indeed.
We had names down to either Cal (not Carl) or James for a boy, James was preferred.
Charlotte, Neve or Fraya for a girl.
Charlotte Neve Armitage it is  |

I don't have to pick Allie and Charlotte up from hospital until 11am tomorrow.
So, I'm going to get up early and fit this B7 S-line gearknob and the B7 RS4 pedals.
As a present, my local specialists are going to fit and code my cruise sometime over the next two weeks  |

I even managed to change four nappies, bath Charlotte AND wash both the RS4 and the A4 today.
Work has me turbocharged most of the time, so it rubs off at home  |

I can feel "very proud Dad" leaping out from your post Jase - she's a cutie alright!
Ermintrude - LOL, I remember it well....
I bet you haven't called Allie that to her face!
"Do you, Jason Armitage, take Ermintrude to be your lawful wedded wife....?"
Congrats to you all  |

Cheers Al. I did actual call her that. Made her laugh enough to tell me to go away as it hurt her sticthed bits
Quick 5 minute job this.
Used a high temp adhesive (silicone based) to glue it in place. I'd already etch primed the rear of it to stop any possible Stainless Steel/Aluminium reaction going on.
Camera phone pics, so not brilliant.

Not managed to post my congrats on here yet matey But just to say again, chuffed to bits for you and Allie, the future Mrs Armitage, and great to hear you're settling down to fatherhood (want a pic of that wooly hat the Lil miss is wearing!!) and knee deep in nappimess!!
For just a split second tho as I scrolled down through the pics of the 1.8 engine bay above I thought the bright yellow oil stick handle was a dummy, sticking up out of the manifold!! Like you'd photshopped one on for a laugh!!  |

Nah, but here's dedication for you.

Holy thread resurrection Batman.
Been a while. Little one isn't as demanding now, so getting a bit time for the cars again.
Got these off Noel, I know they are S4 versions, but they look a lot better than the plain plastic. Haven't been able to find the S-line versions, even after months of looking.
Will get some pics up when fitted. Got a week off, so should get them done.
Also at lonnnnnng last, cruise and reverse camera getting done this week.
Jase.. |
