You know it :p

Just have to make do till 2010 (december hopefully) so i can order a nice S3 :D

See if i can SAVE yes SAVE .. I should be able to ... 4k less a year on insurance + 15mpg ...

should save a 6k deposit easy lol

I love this car tho, its lovely and returning 38mpg ish!

The good thing about A3's is that they don't take much work to look good.

De-wiper, big wheels, and air. And that's it it's done!

This is my inspiration for A3's :p

I cannot answer the question of how many times i change a year, but its slowed down alot the past year (since I've settled down with the mrs haha!)

I've had 63 cars (not lying) in 3 years, but you cant average them out over 3 years, as I've only had 4 cars this year.. this a3 is owned cash and will be staying as a show piece.. on the other hand my 2009 swift may be seeing the door mid 2010 :p cant live without insane bhp for to long.. feeling an evo or something in juy 2010 ish... not sure yet ... maybe get right into this project and spend 8k on it HAHA !

thanks for the comments guys :)

Oh yeh forgot to add, ordering coil overs 2morrow, so will update pix... just having them as a stop gap till the air ride next year, coilies + 19'' alloys should look sweet enough for the time being anyway :p ! all going well it should be UD standard by march I'm hoping !!

time will tell.. and the £££ which is a more sensitive subject haha!!

Mate you any problems with DVLA? I heard there is a limit on cars you can have a year before they count you as a trader. I heard its 8 and I've just bought number 9!
