Yes she has been in the family since new and is the main culprit for my fascination with old tat, when I was young values were essentially nothing so it taught me the lesson that old stuff isn't necessarily worse than new stuff 😄

I didn't realise we had a red Quattro turbo on the forum. I saw it at the weekend and was a little bit (a lot) in love

I made sure not to polish the bonnet of the quattro the night before as I know it will likely be the only Audi Quattro Turbo Pogweasel on the roads

I split daily duties between a 2000 Xantia and a 2002 Rover 75,  the former being relatively modern and the latter the sensible, reliable, safe modern, but both normally the oldest car in the car park at work. Pretty much anything from the nineties onwards can be treated as an car and as long as normal maintenance is kept up it'll be fine. Anything before that, as long as you avoid rust, can get parts, and know how maintenance differs from a modern, will also be fine. 
Also, run two cars, on the proviso that as soon as one breaks, fix it. 

I daily my 1986 Audi 80 Sport and for the past half a year of uni life it has been absolutely brilliant. Performance that is more than adequate for modern days, well built, practical and mostly reliable. Plus it tends to get a lot of goodwill which is a benefit for sure. Parts supply is a big issue however, and I would be lying if I said the car was faultless. Occasionally there have been issues such as the throttle cable disconnecting and the alternator belt squealing, and rust is a constant worry. But, I feel safer driving it than I do the 480, although that is likely going to be my daily for the coming year due to insurance reasons. 
The Audi has taken me to Denmark where I am currently, and was quite happy cruising at 90mph, even managed to hit 118mph on the Bahn, proving that you can use all of the speedometer on it. So yes, I do daily my classics and apart from having a fight when it comes to insurance, it is more than fine

Apparently it’s a 1971 car that was first owned (and registered?) by the RAF and then sold on in 1978. Not quite sure why it has a ‘76 plate. Whatever its age it was in very good nick.
