Vorsprung Durch Barge
As the 106 is utterly horrific to use, and I sort of need a grown up's car for work, I've been on the hunt for some sort of sensible daily affair.
As luck would have it, our very own Dave also decided that his life was far too predictable and he had too much disposable money, so he bought a 750iL. That left his trusty Audi surplus to requirements, and basically I've bought it.
I was looking at e39 tourings, and generally large estates so I can chuck kit in it and cruise about in comfort, and this is both a large estate (it's massive) and it's comfortable, so winner winner.
Here we are back at Fort Mordor after picking it up :
It's an early 2002 '51' plate, Audi A6 Avant 1.9 TDi SE. It's got the later 'AVF' 130bhp version of the derv power plant and a 6 speed manual box. The concert sound system is plenty decent enough, and it has air-con, cruise, electric thingz and a massive boot. Allegedly it may or may not have been mapped. I don't think it's massively quicker than 130bhp, but it pulls itself along well. I suspect if it's been mapped, it's an economy map, as the fuel consumption appears to be ridiculous.
Dem loadspacezzz, complete with dog guard and luggage net, nice.
I lashed down to Muz' in it and gave it a scrub off, well he did anyway:
Magical Iron X at work:
Such Bleedz:
Cleanz:
So there we are, it appears to be a particularly sensible daily driver. The economy is daft for the size of it. I'm babying it around rather than hoofing it, and given where I live, 'anywhere' is a decent run, but it's averaging just over 60mpg and that appears to be bang on ish with what I'm putting in at the pump.
Which means, when full, I'm getting 1000+ mile tank range, here's 1010 mile range, and 88.4 miles covered so far, mental.

Basically, drive it and look after it mechanically.
I can see it being a long termed already, so if that's the case next year I might stick some rs6 leathers in it for the comforts and a 3 spoke chunky wheel.
Bar that, nothing really. I may swap the wheels, but the ride is good on the 16's, so I may also not.

From your garden pictures, your house seems like it would be nice, from the front of your house, it looks stolen from the set of Shameless.. 
Decent barge though

FLOL
It's pretty much exactly like the set of shameless. It's just burnt out cars and kids running round with shopping trolleys tbh.

Given that he got it off me and I love his sexy burgers, you probably wouldn't get one like that for what he paid... I gave £1,550 for it (I think, I say I, my Dad did and I swapped my old E38 for it) and that's about right for one I think, possibly a smidge more with less miles.
