It was - is - a superb car and, I have to say, a whole load better than when you last saw it. That was the reason I sold it as it became clear, for various reasons that I wasn't going to be able to maintain it to the standard I had got it up to. The last thing I wanted was for it to deteriorate in any way so the right decision, despite being gutted about it, was to let it go to a good home. I'm confident it has gone to a good home and the new owner has made it clear he will never sell it having regretted selling his previous one a few years ago.
The new owner is on here as a newbie so I'll let him introduce himself as and when.
We now have a replacement in the shape of a B6 A4 3.0 Sport Cab. Never be a classic but I'm surprised how impressed I am with it. I'll get it right up to a decent standard but won't be paranoid about keeping it spotless - I hope!
