Couple of months ago.
Trusty Desire retired to the drawer. Never missed a beat.
S3 is an awesome bit of kit though.
Looked at the Note, bit tooo big. Nice though. |

Driving lessons in the RS4 paid off and she's now got her licence (to be cute )
So, bought her her first set of wheels.
It's a soft top model with blue, yellow and red detailing, and comes complete with a best friend passenger called "bunny"
TP (two parent) drive only
Off now for Christmas, so planning a major detail of the RS and some nice shots in a nice location.
Starts tomorrow |

Cheers Alan. Happy Christmas to you and the family mate.
I had full intentions of getting out there today.
Hmm, -2°C
Think Saturday will be better, raining tomorrow.
Think I'll chill for today, I'm getting soft in my old age |

Seems like all my pictures now contain my little one
So, since buying the car, the seat trim that houses the seats switches down by the drivers door has been broken (previous owner)
It recently started to bug me.
So ordered one from Audi, only to have to wait an age for them to come back with it's now NLA.
Great.
Noticed that the C5 RS6 has the same Recaro's, so took a chance on it being exactly the same and ordered one.
Thinking was, it might still be available seeing as the C5 RS6 is still within the 10 year cut off for parts supply from a manufacturer (which they are supposed to stick to, but they don't always)
Luckily, it is still available, not so luckily is that is has the usual RS price tax. £70 for a bit of plastic. Robbing twunts.
Fitting next week at local specialists as I've not got enough time. The seat has to come out.
Broken trim;
New trim (flash makes it look grey, it's not, it's silver)

Well, today was planned as the day I gave her a good going over ready for sale.
We are wanting to move house and I could have used the funds to put a larger deposit down, BUT we've now decided now's not the right time and we are staying put for a while at least.
She will be for sale eventually, but not just yet.
Made the decision a couple of days ago, but as I'd booked Grandma to look after the little one, the time to give her a good detail was not to be missed.
The fruits of my labour;
New seat trim fitted, yay..
A couple for the deatailers and closet wax lovers;

Looks great Jason (apart from the pedals - are they standard? )

Hi mate.
She's not going just yet.
I was due to go up a rung at work, which would have given me a pay bump, hence new house.
But, decided to go down a different avenue, which sees my wage stay the same for the next couple of years, but then almost give me another half again to what I'm already getting at the end. Same company, just a different avenue. Staying with the engineering and not going the management route (will leave that to the stress heads who like to strut and shout at people)
So house move put off for now.
I may even keep her later on, depends what the prices have risen/fallen to by then.
RS4 prices nose dived not long after I bought her, but have steadily risen back up to around what I paid back in late 2010.
Missus is not to pleased, but then women can't seem to see ahead more than when their next hair appointment is |

Unfortunately I went down the management route and should have pursued a career in engineering. My maths was shocking. Ah well you can't have it all.
Love the B5 shape, always have. Still promise myself if I win the lottery I may treat myself to an RS2 Avant!
Would like to change my car, possibly next year. Fuel is still pretty good at 44mpg, but a series of repairs including timing belt, water pump and wheel bearings are making it an expensive workhorse. Just don't get me started on road tax!
Seriously looking at Volvo 1.6 Drive SE Lux estate. £0 road tax and up to 80mpg. Can honestly say the leather seats are the most comfortable I've ever sat in. |

Not that bad actually buddy. Washed the car today (in between the very frequent rain ) and as easy as the OEM 18's. I use a wheel detailing brush (looks like a chefs basting brush) and Bilberry wheel cleaner in a spray bottle.
A failed arty farty wet wheel shot.

For once, we've a nice day.
Wash, polish, wax and seal ready for winter.
Seats are done. Cliptone cleaner, conditioner and Scuffmaster - unbelievable.
Clean, condition, wipe on with small sponge and let dry. Done.
Went out especially to take some nice pics with the good camera, and forgot the memory card, so only got a few on it's internal memory. DOH.
New RS4 badge, a stone on the motorway on the way to pick wheels up, ran off with my 'S'. Git.
