Ha - nope!

To me, this will be a 12-month project at least !

2 small kids and a hectic day-job... if I can tick one thing off the list per month, then I think I'm doing well!

I never really paid much attention to fuel consumption to be honest. I think it was somewhere close to 25mpg when I was using it as my daily driver (mix of motorway and crawling through rush-hour traffic).

Insurance - that changed a fair bit as I got older, had no claims, moved house a few times ...

Ha - that's one of the reasons it got laid-up. We had our 1st baby almost 5 years ago and didn't fancy leaning over to pop them in a baby seat in the back. Huge boot though, so plenty of room for prams and child ancillaries.

There are only 2 bucket seats in the rear. The centre section is raised ...

A few (low quality) pics from 'happier times' when it was being used and cared for:

I'll check to see if it has a drain plug or not.

Quite used to this 'filled-for-life' jibberish as that's what Audi say about the box on one of my other cars - complete tosh and I get the fluid and filter changed regularly.

Thanks for the tips everybody. I'll try and get some pics up.

OK, stretching the 'classic' definition a bit I guess, but it's 18 years old now.

This was my daily driver for a while until it got parked up on the drive under a car-cover when I replaced it with something newer. Was nothing wrong with it on 95k, but just fancied a change.
It has been dragged ...
