[Ronin225]

Well that went quickly but that was expected.
Dont be a stranger with whatever you decide to get

 

[tyrer]

Lets hope its goes to a good home... best you get car hunting fella! You decided what you want yet?

whatever it is must be a V6 - I could do something that is frowned upon BUT ticks all boxes. I just may need some hairdressers scissors with it

 

[Ronin225]

Not a TT?

 

[Blanco92]

Shame, cracking car this, seen it at a couple of meets and it looks just as good in the flesh as it does in pictures. Someone's getting a very decent LCR!

If your into R32s but don't fancy knobheads coming at your front door, what about an A3 3.2 V6 (Quattro?)... should drive just as well but it's more subtle and less in your face than an R32.

The V6 Quattro TT is a future classic mate unfortunately, obviously coupe would be the only option.

They are 1 rung under the S4 in my options, but slowly climbing as the S4 will cost just as much to maintain as it will to buy

Alfa GTA has gone out the window and its the battle of the Audi's.

 

[tyrer]

Well after several phone calls and viewings, 1 - "I'll have it on Monday" IT'S STILL HERE haha.

So as its feeling sorry for itself because I've decided to sell I'm going to treat it over my 1/2 term off to

Standard springs, new top mounts, refurbed wheels and an interior steam clean before a good buffing.

 

[tyrer]

New top mounts - check

Old bearings in bits!

Wheels also done silver and back on standard springs.

Thursday the bumpers are being painted and a full detail then finally the car will be MINT

 

[tyrer]

 

[EL]

You sure you want to sell

 

[Ronin225]

Keep it and go stage 2 (maybe stage 3 if you could afford)
Cant beat some good wholesome boost instead of a big lazy N/A block

 

[tyrer]

Haha it has made me sort all the bits that I always wanted to do but didn't get round to

I'm an N/A fan deep down I reckon, stage 1 is perfect for me, I'm not into chasing big figures and don't have the pockets for the maintenance.

Can't wait for tomorrow though, it's going to be as I would of loved to have bought it.

 

[big eck]

Your off your head spending that money on it when its up for sale lol.

When I sell a car I want it to be immaculate for the new owner, it's crazy I know because since I put it up for sale it has had:
- new top mounts and bearings
- wheels painted silver
- re painted front and rear bumpers
- FULL professional detail

The bumpers have been an 18month job waiting to happen and also are a called in favour from 6 years ago, along with the Detail

 

[tyrer]

Just a flat and polish left, can't wait for tomorrow.

 

[tyrer]

Once I have the time it's getting proper update pics but finally all my paintwork is mint.

A reflection shot, 4 coats of laquer have been utilised

 

[J@mes W]

LOL you're a nutter Someone is getting them self's a much loved car.

 

[ben450]

Def a nutter you must be the most caring car seller in the world. If only all sellers were like you mate. Make sure you still come on here when you get your new toy.

 

[tyrer]

Cheers lads, I hope someone who really has wanted one buys it as it will make the work worthwhile if that makes any sense at all.

 

[RDS]

Nice mate, do you not fancy breaking it? I'll have the front and rear bumpers depending on the paint code

 

[tyrer]

Breaking would be a waste of my time - id looked into it.

Just been out in it, forgot it drives so well.
