Hi guys,

I'm Tim, 26 (nearly 27), from Cardiff. Just finished a PhD in Biochemistry (literally passed the viva three weeks ago), so currently don't have a proper permanent job. Single, no children. First love: cars. Second love: food :D . Wimmin come third :lol:

Saved for 11 years to buy an RS2 (i.e. from the moment they came out, aged 15, how sad to want an estate at that age eh? :lol: )..... then couldn't find one I wanted to buy, so "accidentally" bought an B5 S4 saloon a few months ago. love it to bits. Its my first car!!! :shock:

Hoping my second car will be a B5 RS4.

Hoping my third car will be an RS6+

Tim
