yep, I bought it -anyone else know of it-
I took straight up to qst who looked after my 320bhp s4, it had a few issues, notably a dodgy mot which meant I have had to get in suspension mounts for the h+ r supension and new rear move it discs. - going into qst on Monday.
Also had a cambelt etc service and a new 458 bhp ecu fitted ( as was claimed by seller but turned out to have been crudely removed).
One Hard type wheel is buckled ( i need one if anyone has one ) and he replaced the tyres with Federals of all things-(my fault for not specifying a quality tyre)- the traction conrol hates them so they will have to go!
Basically I paid the price of buying the car from a trader who basically knew nothing of the model or anything about cars ( pm me and I'll tell u who it was, I'm a newbie here so don't want to ruffle any feathers!)
However, I also had some comeback so haggled him back down and ended up paying 15k for it- will have spent about 2.5 k on it and will have a well sorted car that I fully intend to keep for a few years , only on 52k,
My last remaining man-toy now I've got a family!
Will post some pics when I upload them onto my pc
Cheers, Si

Is this the one with the cream leather mate?

No, it's got the dark recaros with the blue alcantra inserts!
Also no sunroof.
Kim from qst had it in when it was new- it had over 11k spent there!

It's been in haverfordwest (Wales) for a few years according to the v5

Cheers Si

You're not confusing this one with the one that had Movit brakes are you neckarsulm? The one that was owned by Mariocee and then went to Fontains? I know who bought that motor from Fontains and it was at Castle Combe in October. Doug has given it the MRC treatment now and it's a strong motor.

I am getting confused Contigo.
Reg seems familiar but I have no record of it, did it ever have cherished reg?

I think it used to have A5 R*S, will have a look on v5 and see what previous incarnations it's had to see if that jogs any memories, si

No that's not the one simon.

The one we are thinking of was sold by Fontains about 6 months ago for a top price. The car had "history" but is now running spot on after MRC treated it.
