Keyser Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Well after finding ourselves in the strange position of having 4 family members with three 2 seated cars (now the wife has officially adopted the 2nd Zed) and winter fast approaching we thought we need a winter shed / spare family motor, I have the Hilux which has 5 seats but the wife's old MR2 has been sat doing nothing bar the odd shopping run for the last 3 months, so I took the MR2 in for MOT today which it passed with a couple of advisories - Tyres close limit brakes imbalanced and low (MOT inspector said it needs a good drive) but a pass is a pass so with that in hand we went and swapped it for something a little more errrrrrr well practical if nothing else. From the advert - Audi A6 Additional Information A NICE EXAMPLE FINISHED IN METALLIC BLUE WITH A BALCK CLOTH INTERIOR. SHE COMES WITH A NICE SERVICE HISTORY AND 12 MONTHS MOT. Audi A6 Features Air Conditioning Dual Climate Zones Alarm, Anti-Theft System Central Locking Remote Central Locking Cloth Upholstery Colour Coded Interior Centre Armrest Head Restraints Rear Headrests Adjustable Steering Column Cruise Control Multi-function Steering Wheel Power Steering ABS Multiple Airbags Child Locks Colour Coded Body Metallic Paintwork Electric Mirrors Electric Windows Radio 90000 Miles It has a full dealer service history up to 84K then it has been looked after by a local garage including a major service new cam belt and water pump at just under 87k Drives nicely has a 2.5l diesel engine and the tip box seems sweet as a nut and you could get a pregnant elephant in the back in fact you could get an elephant pregnant in the back few pics from the dealers website - Hope to collect her Friday afternoon if I can get the plates transfered and the paperwork sorted and it passes the MOT of course Quote
glrnet Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 That'll do nicely , don't forget to post pictures of you getting the elephant pregnant Quote
Will370z Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Nice car, a little more economical than the zed too now doubt. Better put a tow bar on thee back so you can tow in your next project Quote
DoogyRev Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Very nice Chris Could do with a few green stripes or something Quote
jollyranchers Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Nice , what did you pay for it if you don't mind me askin Quote
Leeroy Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Nice, you got an S-Car steering wheel in with the deal too Quote
Ricey Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Nice , what did you pay for it if you don't mind me askin I bet its something ridiculous as well. I love the A6 for some reason Quote
spursmaddave Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Nice car, a little more economical than the zed too now doubt. Better put a tow bar on thee back so you can tow in your next project I bet it's not that much more economical but definitely more practical... I await the build thread Quote
Flex Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Nice car, a little more economical than the zed too now doubt. Better put a tow bar on thee back so you can tow in your next project I bet it's not that much more economical but definitely more practical... I await the build thread A build thread to improve economy - 80mpg!! Quote
Keyser Posted October 9, 2012 Author Posted October 9, 2012 Supposed to do 35MPG - I'll let you know on that one though No build thread - unless it's towing something into the ZedShed its just to hack about in - only problem is after driving that I realise how much more comfy than my Hilux Picup Truck it is not sure if I should change that now as well!!

Dblock Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Not an Audi fan personally but if you like thats all that matters, you could get a 330d for that price. Intercooler and a few other mods plus remap would see you 230-240bhp plus 45mpg Looks clean though cant wait for the mods like egr delete, decat and remap Quote
Keyser Posted October 11, 2012 Author Posted October 11, 2012 Well I collect her today amd ..... It is to be fair exactly what I expected and we need so all is good, it won't set the world on fire but I have a Bright Green Zed for fun Just need to find a willing elephant now so I can sort Mr G's request Quote
