R32North Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 I use at lest one of them everyday. Most days its the Audi, and now and again I use the R32. Probably why the R has only got 14k on the clock and is 20 months old! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted January 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 16 months old and 9500 miles. The good thing about not using your car all the time is that it feels super quick again. Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattcony Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 At the weekend and evenings, got a company car for the motorway miles. Although its on loan to my mum at the moment cause my sister crashed her car and has nicked off with my mums to use, so she now has no car Cheers matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazmondo Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 My beast was off the road for a meer four months ??? Because i couldnt afford the road tax LOL, only joking it was because a new home was in progress to house my beast now its complete it still if its lucky and dry may come out once a week. Heres a snap of the beast in its new home, im not paranoid but i dont want it stolen so, its had an additional alarm imobiliser fitted, the whole house is alarmed, and when i built the garage i put a niffty high tensile loop into the reinforced concrete to which the beast is chained down to with some old skip lifting chain,oh forgot to mention the £122 padlock. so if anyone was to get in past all the systems they would be easily spotted cause there would be a garage following them web page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32North Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Got a similar set-up for my Bikes in my shed. They're bolted thru the floor using a Hi-Ten 1.4" thick Oxford chain to a 15KG Motor Bike floor bolt. I don't have garage, but I do have an 80TDi blocking the way, a house on one side, the neighbours on the other and my garden to the rear. They'd have to be fecking genuiuses to nick my car. Got Thatcham security on the Audi, so its not going anywhere in a hurry either, plus I've yet to find someone who can negotiate my drive in reverse without getting it wrong and have a 2nd or 3rd go to get out!!

MattR32 Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Too damn often! Nov 03 car and now just broken the 20k mark!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1monty Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 To those who are putting up the miles & have say over 20K miles, what has the reliability been like? Still contemplating an R32 but need reliability as it would be used several times every week. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattR32 Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Monty - Totally flawless. The 3.2 motor is very unstressed and the rest of the car has been built like a tank. A few lemons cropped up durin production, but if it's okay by 10k, it's probably okay for 150k+! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
