Schaefft Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Yeah, its not too bad, mostly the kind of options you would find on a highish spec E39, its nice to see that it has sport suspension from factory even though it probably wont make much of a difference after 130k miles, it all will need replacing at this mileage anyway. Xenon is always a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-T Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I bloody love that pearl white colour. You sir have some top top machines, very jealous!! My Dad's mate had a UR quattro when I was about 5. He'd borrowed it one weekend and at the time I had a thing about starting our cars. He'd parked it outside our house (terraced house on a steep hill with cars double parked all the way down), we were getting ready to go somewhere and I was mithering my Dad for me to start the car, so hassled, he gave me the key and off I went. I can still remember opening the door, turning the key, then falling to the floor and watching it lurch forwards into next door's beige Reliant Kitten, pushing it up on to the path and into their garden wall. Unfortunately my Dad had forgotten that the handbrake cable had snapped so it had been parked up in gear, so when I started it, it caught and drove itself forwards, over my foot and planted itself into next door's car. Caused at least £40 of damage to the plastic rat. kinkersaab, mat_the_cat and DVee8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hooli Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 That Quattro is a beauty. I once got a ride in a J plate that looked just like that, it's still my benchmark memory for silly traction & speed in the wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dome Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I took out a loan in my early 20s and bought an A reg if quattro from a collector near Balloch. He picked me up from the station in his RS2 to add to the occasion. It was an epic car but tricky to drive fast with all the weight out the front and massive turbo lag. I miss it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinkersaab Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 Meet "Sixpence". Forgive the gash wheels and bling, it was on it when i got it. It belonged to a good freind of mine who died 6 years ago, it then wnet to another of his friends and then I got it 3 years ago. It still has his own number which I like. We tend to use it more as a day van with kids and dogs , but have trotted about Britain in it on occasion. scrubs up nae bad for 21 years old.

Belfast Gipsy Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Nice camper - I use mine in exactly the same way, day van for tea on the sea front, fishing trip etc. Does not really earn it's keep as Premier In etc as so cheap, but hey, if I had to justify any of my "fleet" I'd be hard pressed.

cobblers Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 That camper looks ace, ever since I got my Autosleeper I've got a whole new appreciation for these things, I reckon I'll upgrade to something like that a couple of years down the line. Whats the bed over the front like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinkersaab Posted July 29, 2017 Author Share Posted July 29, 2017 THe top bed is pretty good, im 6.4" and mrs ks is 5 3" we sleep up there if no kids and its quite comfy if a little claustrophobic, the window helps. cobblers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobblers Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Nice one, every time we go away I'm jonesing over a decent roof bed because I'm up at about 6am no matter what and the mrs is usually fast asleep while 9. If I could bung her up in the roof at least I'd have somewhere to sit! Is the shower usable? Mine's technically got a shower but it's just not big enough really, you need to use a shower curtain cos the door isn't sealed and you just end up tangled in it.It's a shame because the water heater is ace and there's more water pressure than at home.

kinkersaab Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 I first bought this back in 2009. I kept it a few years and decided my collectiuon was too big (pre sheds) and sold it..regretted it almost immediately. Since then cosmetically its been neglected.I got the chance to buy it back and am glad I did. It needs some paint to tidy it up... for now i shall use as is.... Its a lovely old thing, an lpt with added intercooler. I have a rear window louvre which when i find i will lob on to it.
