If you have owned said car since March 1998, and you got it on the 1st of March then at best you have had it 16 years, 10 months and 9 days if you include today.

So 'almost 17' is more like it

Does that mean everyone gets and extra year free of charge to add to their own numbers?

I also have to ask are you that person who is always holding up the traffic in a misted up red Audi 80 on the A43 every morning? Because if you are you are holding up all of the A4 drivers and they don't like it........
Well howdy Martc, nice to see you here...
If you like
The reason for adding an extra year has been explained, keep up, lol.
If you feel the need to add an extra year in order to compete with me, then be my guest, the more fully-fledged members in the 'long term Audi owners club', the better.
Rarely use the A43, but if/when I do, I can still keep up with the A4 drivers, don't you worry about that.

Which brings me to ask, how long you owned and driven your Audi?

Yeah I kept up so.....

What do you get in this new 'long term Audi club'? Anything good - special handshake, window sticker, cuddly toy etc etc?

Will have to be something special for me to divulge my details at this early stage in our relationship

How do you know that I don't already rock a sweet set of pink fluffy D's on the rear view of my S6 already?

All the rage don't you know, Coxy has a set on his 914....

So, my ur was a daily use car from 1992 to 1999, when some muppet really pranged it. It was in and out of the body shop for the next 2 years before they finally starting playing nasty, and I was busy fighting the insurance company until 2003ish. But it still got some reasonable use from 03 to 05, although most of my time was being spent in Geneva by then.

2005 to 2008 was time spent in Scotland, and you can't not use a Quattro there. So it frequently got used. My 45 mile dash to the staff car park, being completed in double quick time, for a 5am report.
08, she got put into a bodyshop to do a proper renovation (less of that elsewhere), finally getting the car, or what was left of it, back ready to start my thread in the resto's section.

Once the muppets are excluded from the equation, it's a pretty reliable car. I have no qualms about getting in, and using it. I'm a little picky about where it gets parked, though.

We bought this in 1990 and have owned B2 coupe cars ever since...



Then we bought this on Fireworks night 1995, and we still have it and used regularly.



Then the GT was written off in 2000, so bought this CQ...



Which was stolen from a workshop and destroyed in 2008... So we bought this RallyRep.. and still have it.



We also bought this in 2002 when the first nipper arrived, and still have it...
