A3 "executive"? It's a frigging Golf!

[GlennB]

I had a fabulous old Passat estate, but not this decade I couldn't even neglect it to death.

 

It had a 5-cylinder Audi engine. I once convinced a gullible colleague that the 5th cylinder was cunning German technology, and that it only operated when one of the other cylinders went a bit wonky.

Likewise with the old passat, had an old K plate diesel estate with 200K+ on the clock, would have gone on a lot longer if the anxilaries didn't start to fail. Master brake cylinder went whilst Dalesmum was driving, low and behold we had a new(ish) car within a fortnight.

Have you ever tried part exchanging a used wife?

The dealers don't want them and you get nothing for them

There's still time to take advantage of the scrappage scheme. You can get £2,000 for your old banger

Yeah but first you have to splash out a load of cash on the new one, then run her in, then find out she's got an electronic brain and of course the starting procedure's completely different. They can possibly run on different fuel, the knobs are all in the wrong place , she smells different and won't go in the garage.

 

On top of that your old tools won't fit!

 

Oh and most important of all, the dog doesn't like the way she smells

No demand for 'em in that colour, mate...
