The N reg A6 was the final Audi I had before my Estima came along. It was a 2.5 TDI avant that I put a 7 seat conversion into amongst many other mods. I don't know if my one was bad or they are bad as a whole but it finished a 13 year run of Audi's only in my ownership, I probably had more than 13 of them also (counting the ones I scrapped personally!) Thats not what this is about though, hindsight being the great thing it is, 2 years ago I had a second Audi, A project if you will, and not the first. I sold due to a personal tragedy and unfortunately kept the money munching A6, its only now I realise the mistake because had I kept the project it would still be here......
The project was a G reg Audi 90 Quattro. The second attempt at one of these but most successful of all the cars I tried to ''pimp'' The car was very straight, only fault was that the gear handle felt like it was going to fall out. I bought the car via ebay as usual for £400, no toys on it at all not even the rear spoiler as the previous owner had removed it for a respray. I started with the interior, 3 spoke original steering wheel, set of 3 clocks at ashtray, full black leather sport interior, decent radio/cd. Then the outside, 16 spoke 17 alloys new, front spoiler RS2 type mounted on the bumper, Deep rear bumper (chopped from a mondeo front bumper and mounted on the original 90 bumper, WRC type 2 rear spoiler. I also had 2 pair of Manta GTE running boards with the wheel trim extentions, anybodies guess how they would fit! Complete new exhaust, fully serviced with cam belt
In the 2 years I had it I had only two drives in it, the day I bought it and a month before I sold it when it came back after the front and back bumpers were fitted
I had 80's + avants, 90's, 100s saloons, avants, quattros, 200's avants saloons, and the top 200 which got nicked
and of all of them this was the one car I was nuts about and still am I must admit. I never got used of the car. Having had many lively trips in a 100 avant quattro they were great to drive at speed around corners, they stuck to the road really well. Not that I'm a boy racer, I'm not!
I kept the 90's lines clean and straight, I loved the look of it after doing the work on it and had it almost complete. The side skirts would have probably been the last thing. I did consider a sport quattro type bonnet mod but didn't get the chance to follow through on the thinking bit..........The 90 was sold where it was got -ebay for a very dissappointing £600
A 90 on ebay these days is extremely rare, a 90 with mods like that IMPOSSIBLE Would I have another one? Definitely!
There is a moral to this story boys, next time you have a choice, the car or the woman you know what to do, don't you
