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! 
The latest offer was a swap for a 3.0 TDI Vectra, 52 plate, blue, 6 speed .. and money my way. Very nice car! But I dont know what I want to do yet. The advert will only cost me £10 if I let it run and no one bids, so no harm caused.. more just a kick in the balls and my pride to be honest!
Fingers crossed it sells, I dont mind paying the minimum of £260 to eBay, as long as its gone, and I dont have the worries of it anyway

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!

Well its been a long time coming, but I made a start on taking parts off the car. It wasn't as hard as I thought.. I tend to get emotionally attached to things very easily, and with me loving my car, I thought taking parts of would get to me. 
I know a lot of people who go through a lot of cars.. They modify them, then sell them, and get a new toy. I 'm the opposite, I buy something, and keep it for as long as I can .. which has always been the wrong thing to do, now that I look back and see my track record. Its not good..
The Ibiza Cupra nearly skinted me, £10 a day to get to work and back.. The Audi A4 was literally falling apart, and could of killed me! And now the A3, which has been broken more times then its been fixed. 
So far I've took off the rear lights, Headunit, steering wheel, gearknob, floor mats and parcel shelf. Those have been sold and made me a bit of money. All being replaced with standard parts. I will then get it put on eBay. Was going to advertise it locally first, but thinking I'll just bite the bullet and get it put on there. Once its gone... then its gone. Oh, and now I'm back at work.. fun!

I have a massive love for Audi A4 B5s, I think they are a really nice looking car, with loads of potential! For a car that was made in 1996, I still believe that the interior was quite modern looking, and a really nice place to be. I owned one a couple of years ago, and to this day, really miss it. I obviously got myself a bad example , but that doesn't surprise me! Still somehow managed to get an MOT on it though. 
I sourced a 2000+ B5 to strip, as the engine was gone on it. So I had the full facelift front and rear lights, boot plastics/carpet, and interior parts!
I'm the type of person who needs to fit everything as soon as he gets them! So I didn't hang about.. I loved it, I loved the car! I also love the B7 shape, they really are one of the nicest looking saloons imo. And so much potential! 
I'm getting a bit off topic here... As the picture is of an Audi A4 B6. My mates car infact. A black 1.9 TDI, with baby blue Porsche Cayenne wheels. To me, this is the 'boring' A4. One that lacked in style, and never really stood out. I never found any that were nicely modified. They into the price range I was looking at, but I couldn't bring myself to even view one. Now my mates Audi is rough around the edges, but I really like what he has done to it, and what the future plans are. Subaru seats have arrived, so they will be getting fitted at some point. He has plans on an Sline front bumper and a full respray! The major thing about the car, that really lets it down is the interior. Its always very dirty due to his job, and also grey. Full of grey.. It would depress me sitting in there for too long! So I know hes looking at replacing it with black plastics, or even spraying them black. I know for a fact (as I have done this) that it will make a massive difference to the interior! And I cant wait to see it once its all done.
