Cant see the reg, but you did announce it on another thread as being 2.3L IIRC

[EDIT] yup, thread is this one: http://www.classic-audi.co.uk/forum/...ad.php?t=35507

Are you expecting Lee to come down with some sort of bug? (refer to typo)

Crossle · 11-07-16, 11:30 AM

Lol, poxy predictive! Actually vomit was almost me last year as I had too many beers the previous night!

I've just got to have the patience with the new Coupe which is something I am not good at- I always want to make them into a show car over night! The wheels need a refurb and the interior needs a bit of attention. Its not going to be show condition by AITP but never mind, at least I get to be a part of it!

leggy · 11-07-16, 02:55 PM

Wheel refurb & interior, is that all Crossle?...
you should see my 'to do' list, been working through it for the past 18mths and there's still shed-loads left to do!

As for yours being a show car, like c'mon, no one will be expecting that, esp. when you've only just got it, and no one really looks inside either, so just get the cleaning stuff out, get it to AITP8, and bobs ya uncle, jobs a good un!

No, I didn't do a reg check, it was a guess to be honest, those speedlines are usually on 2.3s, its a 3B and although I wasn't 100% sure (I was looking for the quattro badge on the grille) it was I guess, luck.

I won't be at AITP this year, I am working in Johannesburg from the 8th, decided to tag on a few days of Safari in Kruger park at the end before coming back. I weighed it up...

cars in a field vs. lions and rhinos in the wild, with 3 nights in a treehouse...

sorry

Well there could easily be a big list of jobs to do but I am using this one as an every day so just want to get it a bit more presentable. Mines a 1990 B3 by the way.

Shame you won't be going to AITP Lee but can't blame you with an opportunity like that!
