Is there an S6?

I've always liked the idea of a fast estate, it would be useful for doing DIY shat

I eat animals for breakfast.. Meat is the only food group you need

I thought it was a turbo but then i thought the RS4 was a turbo too. Doh. I like Audis as a passenger but they've never really appealed as an ownership proposition so i've never actually seriously considered buying one. Even the R8 is a lardy bast.

When we bought the golf for the missus had a nose at the A3 but she didnt like it

Had a quick check inside the front arches yesterday and they're absolutely fine.

Mine's not a beater, it's just "the car"

Thanks for checking.

It was a shame that the one I saw had rusty arches. It seemed good aside from that. I didn't know where else the worm may have bitten.

Will likely buy this one tomorrow if it's good. Looks a nice example. If there was a fast golf estate, I'd get that. Could wait for the R but that's likely 30+. 20 is the absolute limit for the daily. It was 10 then 15. Cars are always the fecking same, what you want is double what you want to pay.
