I've hit the 100 post point quite quickly with minimal "whats the first word that comes to you head" post lol :band: To celebrate my 100th post I thought I'd share a bit of my previous car history. I was well into Audis for a long time, the 5 pot quattro mainly and turbo version once in an URs4. I am still quite active on one of the audi forums as I have made life long friends on that site....this site has the same friendly vibe :D The quattro thing was quite important to me hence why I favoured the AWDt over a standard T5 (couldn't strectch to a T5R AWD) It was while my first coupe was being resprayed that I had a dirty fling with an 850 T5, which lasted about 6 months and left me scarred for life....bitter sweat love....still miss her. Anyway I had an accident a few months ago as a result of which I'm now waiting for surgery on my spine in a specialist hospital (all that sheep shagging has taken its toll lol) and was told in all probability driving manuals would be really difficult, so I sold all my audis last month and found my way back here with my new auto V70 AWDt which I must say I'm completely smitten with....definately a silver lining story:D Anyway I just wanted to thank everyone for the welcome, for making me feel at home during my first 100 posts and for being there to help - some of you have been quick to help, answer pms and offer view etc thank you all :hail: I do ask a lot of questions but thats because im really interested in marque and have high hopes for the future lol cheers all here to the next 100++++ posts :beer: V6 2.6 coupe (FWD) Image URs4 5 pot turbo 265 bhp mtm tuned Image A4 v6 2.8 230bhp quattro....miss her :( Image Image This is currently sat on my drive, ignored and unloved as the V70 teases it from the road lol very rare now, 1.8i quattro that does 40mpg Image last but not least, this was my fav of all, searched 8 year for this particular one but had to let her go few weeks ago as she was 2 door....gutted Image And then theres silver lining...project Rebel Ship Image Hope I havent bored you to much. Thanks Dylan

Nice cars mate - I've defected from VAG myself to come over to Volvos now, I had all Mk3 Golfs - a 1.9 TDi which I GTI'd, a 2.0 8v GTI which I slammed on 16" Compomotive TH Mono's (originals) and a VR6 with a chip, exhaust, etc and really good suspension. I was going to buy another VR6 but then was given the 855 T5 - just as quick and you can still beat a NED from the lights with a fridge/freezer on the roof!! Congrats from one recent "senior" member to another! :beer:

Had 3 coupes, 2 80s and 1 90 quattro 20v, had the URs4, the A4 2.8q and also my wife had a A4 2.5tdi....which has now been replaced following unplanned cambelt failure with a MK4 Golfi GTi turbo - which is chipped to 200bhp and awesome to drive. I thought audi were unbeatable....then I found Volvo :B_thumb:
