There was my00 Gti6 advertised poorly on my local french car forum... 54,000 original kays, blue. $4000 aud. Didn't bother looking cause I don't need another 306... Anyway, guy on forum buys it. It's immaculate, in near new condition. Just needs a recommission service and good to go. Very jealous!

Interesting, thanks. This my argument against standmounts... A) you still need stands and b) floorstanders can generate those nice full range dynamics at quieter volumes. Maybe properly driven, and louder the ls50 would be cleaner... But does it get your foot tapping?
-
What sort of volumes do you listen at? Interested to hear how the ls50 compare to the totems at quiet to mid volume.
-
The Gti6 is actually a far better car than the 205 gti. Their value is creeping up but I doubt they will ever attain cult status.
And that one will need a bit of work to be right. Factor in a rear beam rebuild and new lower control arms to make the car drive how it should. And the clutch shudder will be a new clutch and skim the flywheel.

Ah, si. I have had a 2011 A3 and currently an A4 Avant. I never loved the A3 but it was good for long drives and felt very solid. Interior was very well made and didn't show its age. No issues apart from a major engine rebuild at 60,000 kilometres. Paid for by Audi. My current A4 actually seems slightly less well built but so far zero issues after 2 years... It's a 2015 model with 70,000 kays. They do a lot of stuff well, just don't engage much as drivers cars. They're a bit dull.

BMW has lost the plot

Why would you get another A6 if you don't like the current one? Most Audis don't change much through the generations.

Heal and toe in flip flops? If you can do that maybe you'd get an honorary Aussie citizenship...

That's real noice

Squints eyes, Ah crap, I'm thinking of the twin turbo V6 2.7... whatever series that is. Oops
-
Easily fixed with improved parts and the suspension can be upgraded. Yes it'll cost a few grand, but you end up with a still solid car, still good interior and a hefty shove of power. Which can also be easily increased.

Love this. Like how the hour hand mirrors the negative space in the minutes hand.

I love how you're frothing for an old corolla wagon... Proves how diverse the car culture is. Every kink is carried for!

I suspected as much but couldn't not try... The zorloo USB dongle DAC is pretty handy though. Noticeable improvement in sound when plugged into the phone. Happy with that part.

I recently bought a zorloo Stella usb-c MQA DAC to use with tidal on my pixal 4a. $149 aud later and MQA doesn't decode out from tidal. Do research, poo, android doesn't pass "bit perfect" stream out of the USB. Buy 3rd party app with MQA plug-in, $20 later and several digs into the settings... Yay, I have tried MQA playback. Can't really tell the difference! I have a set of westone IEM that I use as the are very clean sounding and not bass boosted or anything and maybe there's a bit more seperation of sounds and touch more sense of silence between notes. But marginal and not worth the faff or the money.

This just reminded me of a funny story from yesterday. Visiting my aunty and she was telling me she's looking at a new car.... A Subaru "15" the dealer had no idea what she was asking for. "Sorry ma'am, Subaru don't make a model 15" still chuckling at the mental image.

You can still buy all the gear, it's not about actually going camping, it's about knowing you could go camping.
How far south are you heading?

Excellent! Simple but effective mod. Hope there's many continued driving smiles now.

Rad, pics as soon as they are fitted!

In regards to this how many watches is too many... Well, lately I've been so busy with work/life that I'm either wearing my Speedmaster or my little square G-Shock. All the others in the watch box have sat there forgotten. The speedy does work days and the G-Shock is everything else because it can be worn anywhere. Even my divers stay out of the surf. Lately the swell has been large so a heavy diver will get ripped off where the g is nice and secure.

Speaking of tyres, just dropped $1600 Aus on a set Michelin PS4 s today. I'm expecting massive handling gains while shuffling the kids to daycare at 40kph....
-
You really should, we're only talking millimetres not adding 33 inches of mud tyre. Barely noticeable and you'll get a better choice of tyre

Must be. Lfgss research pool...

The blue 550i looks great... That is probably one of the few perfect family cars... Proper estate, potent enough engine, manual and probably handles nicely. If there's no rattling or smoke then it tends to suggest the mechanical parts are good... Might just be sensors/Vanos stuff. It wouldn't turn me off. (I have poor judgement). As for the dealer, sounds like a lot of trouble to just triple bluff someone... I'd tend to take the discount and use the savings at an independent specialist.
