Decisions, decisions...

Is that rear wiper resting on the boot off the glass?

90k miles would have me wearing nappies whilst driving it though.

Yup lol, I asked him about that, it had just come back from the valeters and they had managed to snap the spring on the arm.

Or the motor has failed like 90 percent of Audi rear wipers (mine included)

I’ve heard some horrific stories about Audi V10’s and their ability to empty wallets

Lol - I went for a test of the white one last weekend... FCUCK ME!! They go like a scalded cat...

Few holes in it's service history though, and the dealer wasn't prepared to haggle one penny...

Still at least I know one is within my budget, so I think the decision has been made..

The V10 makes a fantastic noise too, especially in dynamic mode with the exhaust valve actuated...

Please dont Mike it'll just be a pain in the ass the ramp will always be in use when I need work doing for example

:) At least it will go on the ramp, rather than take it out of the door, ripping your bumper off!

Fortune favours the brave !!

In fairness my next door neighbour has a V10 R8 and it does sound immense .. rattles the windows ( and my fillings) when he starts it up :thumbsup:

I’m sure he said the next service it needs is an engine out job and about 4K :!:
 
To be fair, I've just looked up the prices of front discs :cry: :cry: Well they are almost 14" dia and 1.5" thick.. But sheesh.. And the pads are £200 a pair ..

Bit too "limo" like for me, plus if it's not a 4x4, it really needs to be an estate for the cash & carry..
