Also got a hoor of a project in college the other day, build a model they said, it's easy they said, it's only in a forest over a river carved out of the god damn rack face is what they didnt say!

I thought it was going to be easy, on a scale of one to very, how wrong was I?

Gavman84

Looking at a couple of A4's lads, in my heart I should probably go for the second one, but I just think the first one is absolutely mint!

Personally I'd go for the first one, it's got a better description and detail of what actually went into the car to maintain/upgrade it, the second one is just saying meh whatever its got everything I cba to tell you, here's a picture or two

The first one has a bit of effort in it and usually that's the sign of a well looked after car

Gah, you were supposed to go for the responsible option! I love the first one, obviously the 07 one for €750 less asking price is still a good choice but I love the leather and wheels on first one.

I'd like to know when the Timebelt was done actually in the first one, the second one was just done, it's a year newer and 40k miles less!

Seriously get the first one! or go look at both of them and then decide!

I would be weary of the first one, anyone who fits JOM coilover is also likely to have fitted the cheapest tyres and suspension arms that are also supposedly new. I was a passenger in a car with JOMs once, i wouldn't buy anything with them fitted unless he was throwing all the original suspension parts in so i could put in back to standard.

NCT for the e60just booked in next week in naas.

How do you guys deal with seeing the nct people driving (and pushing to the limit) your car? Is it stare intensely through gritted teeth, or the "I can't watch" approach?

Having put a few 4wd cars through the NCT i can tell you that you 2wd pussys have it easy lol. To do the brake test they need to drive your car out of the centre and up and down the road (that's hard to watch). I think it saved my bacon with the bora though, i had to put the spare on that morning and it was fitted with a rotational tyre the wrong way around, your man pointed it out to me but said nothing, he was too busy grinning

Cleveland Hot Pocket

Couldn't do that though OSI- Wish I had that level of calm!

If I'm not watching, I feel like i'll be climbing up the walls and pacing aggressively till it is done. I'm very anal about not letting people near my car, even moreso people I don't know!
