Ahh so you're the one with an even more cheeky offer than the one I put in! Sometimes I think I shouldn't have bought one needing so much love but if I hadn't bought this one I'd have never bought one and that to me would have been unforgiveable.
Consider yourself lucky. He'd right royally f*^ked up that car. I mean, who in their right mind cuts out the wiring for the heated seats, hides the ABS button in the centre console and cuts off the plug to the door mirrors meaning they're in that position til I source a new one :S Bloody idiot!
A lot of stuffs taken it's toll on me lately, got married, changed jobs, moved house and found out wife is pregnant all within 5 weeks. My safe place was the Quattro, head out there to clear my head whilst I worked on bits n bobs but now even the bits I figured were easy fairly stress free things are, well, not stress free or that easy!

You're absolutely right, the few times I have let the beast loose the drive's been immense. So that's why I've got the parts needed to get it MOT'd and then just need to find someone to diagnose and cure the hot start problem.
I only got to thinking of selling and getting a pot for a 911 as a friend went out in my Quattro with me and then swapped and took out his 2005 911 GT2 and that was an even more immense drive, though with a pricetag of £45k as a six year old car it bloodywell should be!
I guess I've just got lots on in my mind at the mo and figured losing one problem (i.e. the Quattro) would help things, though I'd probably soon regret it!
