Default New car

Yes, another non Ford
I wouldnt of minded getting one, but simply couldnt think of any that met what I was after...

Anyway, after a totally crazy sale of my Cav for Ł5500 (Yes you read correctly! ) I picked up a car Ive wanted for a very long time, an Audi S2 Avant

These are the only pics I have taken until it gets a good wash/wax/clay sometime over the weekend (if it doesnt rain AGAIN!)

100% standard, but no doubt that will soon change!

What sort of power are these as standard & what mods have you got in mind for it?

Standard is 230bhp 258lb/ft.
Mods will mainly be subtle in the looks department, such as tinted side repeaters, smaller rear wiper etc.
Power wise, a simple chip will see 280bhp ~310lb.ft which will do for now!
Porsche 996 4 pots will go straight on, so that will definitly be an upgrade for the future, as the standard brakes are the main weak point on them

Normal is good at the moment, I wanted the performance without attention grabbing looks.
Makes for more fun on the road too

They look very nice on new style RS4 wheels...



Personally, I would love to get it looking something like this

It was a very good one, but was never worth that much
The bloke asked me to sell it, I told him it wasnt for sale, so he had to make me an offer I wouldnt refuse... so he did!

To be fair, he's spent enough money on it that he could have bought a space shuttle and gone sightseeing on Jupiter

But hey, he seems happy enough.

What model is that then? Audi A4 Avant ?

I'm asuming that with 230bhp its a petrol version? Any idea what the diesels are like?

i LOVE bargain barges.
