10 years old next month with 305k km done. Has a possible congenital heart defect relating to the oil pump, but in 7 years of my driving it...it's been very loyal.

I gave the cars a much needed wash on Saturday so decided to throw some pics up here.

My Audi.....not bad for a car that will be 15 yrs old in January

And the Wife's car that will be 10 years old in January. Aged very well imo. All going well it'll trip over the 300kms mark in the next few weeks. Not bad for a 1.4!

Noccy_Mondy · 08-12-2014 11:17AM

It's mad to think that an 05 reg car will soon be 10 years old :eek:

Nothing better than a clean car in December. It was so filthy id to wash it twice and then gave it a quick spray of some oac perfection. Everyone should own some of this, oh the shine.

Hard to believe that it's nearly 19 years old and 153k miles on the clock

Did you not get a chance to do the alloys or are they just in serious need of a refurb??

bear1 · 08-12-2014 03:13PM

Always forget to ask you Quadri but did a lad called George own that before you?

Look at the shade of grey on the fronts compared to the rears. Classic brake pad dust deposits on the fronts by the looks of things.

Car looks well though.

Thought he meant they were scuffed or something. Wouldn't really bother me enough to spend money refurbing them. Swap the fronts to the back, they'll soon match up :pac:.

If thats all you can fault, I'm happy :pac:
They're in serious need of a refurb. Thats them cleanish (I washed her yesterday) and have done 100 miles since on country roads so they were cleaner yesterday. I just didn't get a photo.
Ive a better set to go on to her, I just haven't gotten around to doing so yet as they're on another gtv.:rolleyes: But they might never go on, as I may have found a set of 17 inch tele dials cheap :cool:

Nope it used to be owned by gtv gav on alfaowner, I bought it off him when the gearbox went and dgt did a **** tonne of work on it for me.
There is a george who posts on here quite regularly and he used to have a spider...maybe him?

Cheers...it has a long way to go to getting the way I want it to look. Focusing on making it drive better (better brakes, upgraded suspension, etc.)

Then when all that is done, ill get it resprayed, as it badly needs it. the roof and passenger side from the wheel back are a different colour (pink) than the bonnet, bumper and rear bumper and boot lid. These were taken off my donor which had immaculate paint and body panels but suffered from italian car syndrome.
The drivers side is a different colour again (freshly painted 6 months ago)....
it looks crap, but it drives so well, that it doesn't bother me. I don't have to look at it when I'm blasting it around a bend:D T
here is a one year gap between me being able to get classic insurance and the car being able to get classic insurance and its difficult apparently to insure a car over 20 years old, so i'll look into getting it resprayed then.
ill be taking my time with who Ill go with, If I'm spending probably 2k on a respray, I want something that looks good in 3 or 4 years time than just for the first six months and then the lacquer starts peeling. That was why the drivers side needed a respray

Cheers, Sadly the house isn't mine, just the parents...im not allowed have more than one car in the drive, so can't wait to have a place of my own. It can take eight cars, but the father likes to drive in and drive out without moving loads of cars :mad:

Cheers, and spot on. A combo of lovely bends on the road to work and ebc greenstuff pads do that. Its annoying factor, but so much better than oem pads.

Money...you don't want to know how much Ive spent on a 350 euro car....:eek:

I must do a build thread some day, even if someone else did build it for me. I owe him that much anyway:P

bear1 · 09-12-2014 10:22AM

GTV GAV! That's it, I was getting confused.
I remember the thread he started years ago about how in that one week he got all the bad luck he could have.
