That's not the average one, he must have been coasting down a hill, drafting a lorry at the time! Image

That was the 'live' average as Si says. I'd just pulled out of a car park so lifted (for the wife :sekret: )to take the pic.

I'd stick a picture of mine on as its a daily driver, well 2 days a week but I'm too embarrassed. Its all covered in mud and looks unloved (which it isn't). I just like driving it but don't get time to wash it.

I moved house 12 months ago, at the old house I'd wash the car every week, only get chance to do it around once a month now :thumbsdown:
Got to get some hot water in the garage to run my pressure washer off, or get a decent diesel steam cleaner at a bargain price.

Thats the beauty of a black car, drive it for 5 mins then it never seems to get any dirtier.

It's actually not even necessary to drive it. Just leave it on the driveway, or garage, for a few minutes.

To join the debate, I've just bought a RS6 and running a 112K 2003 as a daily driver only a 30 mile round trio commute but using the Audi for the weekly runaround, whilst petrol so cheap I don't feel too sick ;0)
