Well, haven't updated this for a very long time, so thought I may as well get on here and explain a lot of changes that have been happening in my life. 
Firstly, I went to Edition38, and wow, it never fails to amaze me how great that show is! Enjoyed every second of it, and also managed to get the cabby how I wanted it before I went. It seemed to get liked, and only got slightly abused by a bunch of southerners. Which is good.
I wanted to change things a bit, and wanted something different, something with a bit of power, so i decided to sell up and get a cheap, fastish car. I went back french! 

Well the time has come for me to leave the VAG scene for good! 
Which I'm actually quite glad about. Dont get me wrong.. I love the cars, and the style, and many of my friends, I've met through the scene.
But there are so many bad points to it. The judgement you get for trying to be creative and expressing yourself through your car is crazy.
If you dont stick to what the scene expect of you, then you may as well jump off a bridge. 
Cant be bothered with that now, so I'd rather get a fun little car to drive, a B road car. 
I'm currently bidding on a little Clio 172 in flame red. I'm actually really hoping I win! The price is right for the age, and the mileage is very low! a genuine 68k, all belts have been done, with receipted to prove. 
Fingers crossed that I win, in approx 2 hours!! 

Well.. after a long hard thing, I've come to the conclusion that the best bet is to strip the Audi for parts! So thats exactly what I've done.
I spent the full weekend getting the car down to a bare shell, ready to be weighed in. 
The only things left were the windows, wiring and some daft little things which weren't worth much money.
The shell has now gone and the garage is full of Audi parts. Now its time to try and sell it all. Thats the fun bit!
So far, I've made a fair bit of money back on it, I've managed to sell quite alot of big parts, which has got me enough money back to pay off my overdraft and credit card! Which I'm pretty happy about to be honest. 

So.. Who is going? 
Even with the lack of money, I will definitely be attending! £30 for a full weekend of drinking, camping and laughing... worth every penny!
Overdraft is gone in less then a week. I'm owed nearly £200 still from various people, so hopefully I'll get all that soon. 
If not, theres always the credit car as a temp solution ;) 
I honestly cant wait for this! Travel down on the Friday, get camping sorted, and then its time to start drinking! 

Brings back memories from the previous years that I've been.. 

Well, with less then 4 hours to go now, I'm getting very nervous! I have had more offers yes... but still no one has bidded! 

Well, not long left until the car hopefully goes! 
I currently have 102 watchers on ebay, which may just be a load of mates, waiting for it not to sell! 
I have had some crazy offers, the most recent, is a Vectra!
Someone came around to view the car, and is very interested. But they currently have their car on ebay, and its set to end after mine. Hopefully for them, no one will bid, and they can have the Audi. We'll just have to see. 
I've already been looking around for a replacement car, something small and fun, and I'm desperate for a Clio 172/182. I think they looking really nice standard, and should do me a couple of years.

I managed to get myself a 3 year driving ban many moons ago.. Stupidly managed to get a license and lose it within a year. 
I don't by regrets at all, but i can only imagine that my insurance would be cheaper if I didn't get banned! 
I've always loved the look of the mk3 Ibizas, something nice and subtle about the shape. At the time, they weren't a very common car in the area, and not many people truly knew the capabilities of these, and then 1.8 20vt engine. 
Today though, is a very different story, these cars go so cheap, and a half decent one on high miles can be picked up for around £1000-£1500! Making them a cheap, fast hatchback. With simple mods, these can push around 240bhp, in something that doesnt weight much, makes for a lot of fun!

I just wanted to post up a couple of pics of my mates Leon. Its not to everyones tastes, but personally.. I think its pretty nice! 
I guess others must like it too, as its currently getting shot for FastCar magazine. The photographer is loving the moody shots of the derelict building in the background. That, mixed with a very modern looking car in a standard SEAT Kiwi green, makes for a really good contrast!
