I am a bit of a car nut. I've had a few cars in the past but after driving less than 2000 miles last year decided to go back to being carless for a bit.
A few months into the state of carlessness (not recommended) I then decided that I should get a little run around. You know, something cheap that I can leave anywhere and won't get attention and will get me from A to B with little effort. I started off looking at old bangers, then something slightly bigger and then thought maybe something comfortable and decent sized might not be a bad idea. I then decided I didn't want a modern car but it would be nice to have a little performance. Definitely not paying the higher VED rate cause that is just silly. Don't want or need gadgets. Just a simple car.
I've ended up in this 'little run-around'. Much to my other half's amusement, it doesn't fit any of the initial criteria. NONE OF THEM. What it definitely is, is a well looked after example with all the big jobs done and a stack of receipts to go with it. A big thank you to Ian (bigee) for being a pleasure to deal with and ensuring everything worked out fine. Plans are being hatched to make things better. This was NOT in the plan. Dammit.
In the meanwhile, a picture of it enjoying its first little drink with me at its favourite watering hole.

Re: Some old tat
Thanks. Incidentally Tom (owned it before Ian) got in touch to see if he could answer any questions. I guess this is why one should try and buy a forum car.
First and second mods already planned. LED lights with Trups next week and then hopefully sorting a new head unit with Apple Play the week after. I'll update with pics.

Re: Some old tat
Rishie, that looked like an absolute bargain of a buy, well done bagging me that one. Hope it treats you well.
You’re right about the forums too (largely, at least RS Audi’s). When I sold my B5 RS4 I helped out with the questions the latest owner had. They are ‘just cars’ but you still have an emotional attachment to them, and want the next owner(s) to cherish and look after them the same as you did.
Daytona is a great colour too.
