Oh no. Been and done it!

No longer looking for a new car. Put a deposit on one this afternoon. 04 conny SE with just under 38k on the clock. Looks it too.

Couple of very minor scrapes, mint inside. Plenum drier than a dry thing in the sahara. One oddity: the passenger seat has been replaced by a mechanical one, but with height adjustment too, in other words a LHD drivers seat. It was explained, and seems completely plausible, for reasons that I shouldn't explain here.

Already has rain sensing wipers, memory drivers seat, both keys, and original mats.

So now I'll be looking for bits to take it to the ultimate: satnav, cruise, oh, can't think of anything else. (yet)

Will post some photos later.

Anyone want to buy an Audi A3?
