For ages you're scouring the adverts sites (autotrader, ebay, adtrader etc etc..) for rare cars you might quite fancy and then a load come along like buses.
In the last week or two I've come across about 3 or 4 A6 TDI Quattro Estates (same as mine but with quattro) for sensible money (i.e. around £6k) - one of them was quite near me, looked immaculate from the pictures and only had
80k on the clock, and in the last month or three there must have been a good 2 or 3 quite nice looking Carlton 24v Diamond Estates on ebay (one on there at the moment). Tempted as I am (I might even pop over and have a look at this one on ebay), I don't think I could drag myself away from the Audi just yet, not even for a quattro (I probably wouldn't drive it hard enough to appreciate the quattro and the extra economy of the 2wd is nice), and it's nice to have a car that does 700 miles from a £58 tankful, doing 90-100mph most of the way to work and back and driving like I stole it on the A roads :-) I sure wouldn't get that from a 24v Carlton!Peter
