It must be a Lincoln thing! I watched that same clip yesterday as well!! :)

Budget for repairs etc and you can't go wrong. I'm increasingly reading about owners getting hacked off with their warranty companies wriggling out of claims etc. I made the mistake of buying a cheaper warranty when I got my car in April and it's honestly not worth the paper it's written on. Lesson learnt - repair fund is the way forward! (IMO) ;)

I agree with Darren sadly most warrentys nowadays are not worth the paper theyre written on, buy the best one you can afford / find and put aside a slush fund for any repairs.

Absolutely. If you cant get, or extend, the Audi warranty, then set up your own warranty fund - I believe the renewal on the Audi warranty is £1,700, so put £2,000 away each year and that should cover any major repairs. You might even be lucky to have a bit left in year3 (if the gearbox hasn't gone)...

the key to me selling my RS 6 was doing the light speed manoeuvre

on the A1, there are specs for the 40mph limit.

when im coming up to the last camera, whack it into sport

past the last camera, foot to the floor

KAPOW

light speed engaged, a huge boot up your arse and your away

3rd gear up to 100, 4th gear up to 150, 5th gear up to 190

obviously didnt got to those speeds but it certainly sold the car !
