Love for the Audi C3

I found this video earlier, I must have played it at least a dozen times today now. Turn it up, that 5-pot warble and the crack-bang of the anti lag is awesome ;D

I remember thinking at the time that those Treser ones looked really good. Now? Well I like the wheels... ;D

Yo DW! Good on you for bigging these cars up, I love them. I love the look of them with the smooth sides, flush glass and the big overhangs. Back in the day they seemed to be such a massive step forward for cars in general. Now with the benefit of hindsight we can see they were just a step in Ferdinand Piech’s ‘big plan’ which seems to have pretty much shaped the entire motoring landscape of today. I love this picture:

The treser ones are great I reckon, so 80’s!!! check this out if you want a good story:

Cool story Boll!

Would love to find the alloys off it, I think they're made of girl boobies and nitromethane.

What an awesome machine, thanks for sharing dude

I had an Avant version and other than fuel consumption (auto) it was a great car. Never pushed it's performance but seemed to have more than enough power for my needs and drove lovely. The autobox is attached to the rear of the diff unit so it can be removed without dismantling anything else on the car. Mine started slipping in reverse so a good used autobox was sourced. Illness means I struggle to do things so 2 mates swopped it over with me telling them what to do. When in situ they asked me to go underneath to check their work. I put a spanner on the bolts and, lying on my back, checked they were tight. The spanner slipped and I punched myself in the face breaking my nose and giving myself two black eyes.
That is my memory of an Audi Avant - mashed up face

I use to have a modified Oettinger tuned Type 44 Avant (a 100 Quattro with a 200 front and a V8 rear end) - it was a great car - go anywhere no matter what the weather and quick - but seen a run or 2 that showed 0mpg!

Super super cool ;D

I really have big love for them at the moment. I've watched that video another half dozen times today ;D

All those hours in the wind tunnel, all that OCD attention to detail, completely undone:



Love it! ;D

Ah yes the famous Bishopfinger conversion.
