TT = Total Tosser

HTH :)

I'm a big fan of the Bora looks wise more so than the Passat but it's smaller.

Must get back to you on hosting.

I made my choice last week thanks to some good pointers, taking delivery of a brand new skoda octa vRS on the 20th.

The new octavia RS is nice, I like the green discs as well :)

Im so tempted to pimp out a nice Bora some 19's the usuall ronny touch

and if its a diesel all the better 40+ mpg, it costs me 230 quid per month at the moment in fuel alone to get to work :(

Yeah - I was half tempted to splodge a wad on the S60R after being told about the nearly new prices on here but the thought of fuelling and maintaining it made me see sense. I cycled through the computer switch of the vRS on the test drive just to sneek a peek at the mpg and it was showing

Keep what you currently have, as any savings in fuel will take close on decades to put you back in profit once you've splashed out the thick end of £10k on changing the car.

In article , snipped-for-privacy@ron.com spouted forth into uk.rec.cars.modifications...

Are there any Audi Quattro TDi's out there?

Something like what Pete (Astravanman) drives?

Yeah loads, but on the newer B6 platform would cost me close to 13k and then a new A4 comes out this year to top it all off :(

But, say you spend £10k, it would take about 5,000,000 years to earn that back with the fuel savings. And ANY pimp factor you're hoping for is instantly destroyed when people hear your tractor engine and choke on the black smoke :) And TT's are gay. Get a nice RS4 and stop being a puff :D

errr yeah what dan said

In news:fkH%c.3111$ snipped-for-privacy@news-text.cableinet.net, ronny decided to enlighten our sheltered souls with a rant as follows

Mondeo TDCi. Cheap as chips, rather bloody quick (for one of those things you put the "other" fuel in), better built than most new VAG produce.

i.e. I had to put yet another VW in for warranty work today, a Sharan that the drivers door was close to falling off. "04" plate, 2800 miles, no visible damage, just decided to fall apart. This is the 6th time in 2 weeks that a VW in work has needed major - as in "can't be driven" - work done on it out of the 10 VWs my branch has.

Polos - reliable Golfs - one lunched its engine, one had exhaust sensor failure causing management "limp home" mode, ABS loom failed on another (rubbed through by front wheel, retaining clip missing) Passats - Reliable Bora TDi - dead gearbox Sharan - door making break for freedom.

Whereas the Fords, Nissans and Peugeots (of which there are a lot more)

Nothing apart from a sticky fuel cap on a 2 yr old, 55k miles, 406 HDi.

Isn't the new A4 already out?

I think the Bora TDI is ganna win guys :) its such a smooth looking car and if I can get the 130bhp one the deal will be done on Friday, I gotta then take all me gear out the audi, if i can get a 30k miler Bora, leathered up with climate in Black/negaro blue or maybe even silver then thats what I will go for, I recken an 04 should cost me less than 10k

Ronny!!!

You love that Audi, look at all the cool things you did, the interior lights, the HIDs, the awesome in car computer that was featured in the PC Format!!

Don't sell it, it's great! What you need to do is by a £1k or £2k (at a push) diesel, loads of them around and some surprisingly good minters too. There you will actually see fuel savings and the depreciation will be negligible so the money will be tied up in the car won't devalue or be subject to interest and that's it. Plus you get to keep the amazing Audi :D

Oh and try to get a low miler if you can - people say "diesels are capable of huge mileages" but the rest of the car is exactly the same as one with a petrol engine - all of which will suffer the ravages of time just as badly... unless you buy one that's got to "that age" where everything's been replaced by previous owners already and is good for another lifecycle - next stop engine failure (but with a diesel that's a long way off).

I think he also just fancys a change, and is probly getting the fear of big imminent bills, hasn't the Audi done some crazy mileage now?

bah Bora is no where near the bling level of a sorted audi A4 :)

Tell me this doesnt look the bollocks :)
