danboy24 Posted June 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Hi Guys Saw an earlier thread about members with hardly any posts (or like me non members appearing suddenly) advertising on your web site and I understand why that would be annoying. Just to tell you a bit about myself I have been an Audi nut for the last five years since I bought my S3. I love everything about the car, the way it handles, the effortless power and the looks it still gets. I subscribed to another Audi forum shortly after I purchased it and have posted 170 times since then, helping others where I can but mostly receiving advice from those much more knowledgeable than myself The car I'm selling is my pride and joy, the best car I have ever owned. As you can see from the paperwork and low miles between services it has been extremely well looked after. Everything its ever needed it's had, money no object. If anything I spent far too much on modifications given that I average around 8000 miles a year and spent most of those pottering about town or motorway cruising. In hind sight I'm not entirely sure I needed a LSD or sport Haldex controller to do either of those The reason for advertising on your site (and others) is I would really prefer it if the car went to a fellow enthusiast, someone who will appreciate it for years to come and not bend it round a lamp post 5 minutes after buying it. The responses I'm getting from eBay of 'What's your lowest price mate' before they've even seen the car isn't really what I'm looking for. I think most people who sign up to forums fall into the category of people who really care about their cars and hence why I'm advertising it on as many specialists web sites as I can. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-bmw Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Well done for the post understanding why that may not go down well, it is appreciated. You have found a forum here of car nuts (or should I say NUTS!) who are pretty adult in most some ways, so don't worry about it. And welcome, stay a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Welcome to tyresmoke. Realising you made a mistake and coming back to admit it puts you above the normal flog it and scarper crowd. do you still have the oem head unit? Some people don't like the aftermarket look?

Hi there Yes I still have the original Audi Concert. Might even swap it over today if I get the chance. Still have the original wheels as well if people prefer the OEM look? Going to give it a damn good thrashing.....sorry polishing today and take a few more pictures. Hoping to get a buyer soon Edited July 2, 2016 by danboy24 Text Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had to "intervene" on this regard before, let someone drive my td slag who REALLY wasn't up to it (as it turned out) I had to STOP him from trying to save twice on one lap of Cadwell as each would have cost lots of money had he kept trying! I had to grab the wheel from him & point the car off the track & tell him to recover after the car stopped!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danboy24 Posted July 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 After the polish here are a few more photos. She certainly scrubs up well 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashleywater Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Nice car had three of them so a big fan, the facelift addressed a lot of the issues of this model such as the clutch letting go if you gave it the beans, but you have that covered with the sachs upgrade, lovely car in a nice stealth colour, if I was in the market for a License Loser would be tempted 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
