One that measures your Mauskino's?

I think its the fuel economy gauge

@Zelandeth what is a Mauskino gauge? 

I know the answer, as a bit of an Eastern Bloc fancier.

It’s the fuel flow gauge (sort of economy gauge), and it looks a bit like the number of bars showing your mobile phone battery but made up of a few distinct lights.  Sarcastically known as the Mouse Cinema, or Mauskino in German.

They never had a fuel gauge as standard, it was a dip stick for the petrol tank.

Almost peak Audi era. Beautifully bolted together, no fussy gizmos and an interior that dares to be different. It wears almost 200k miles beautifully, too. They were definitely built to last. The B5 A4s I owned were similarly robust. 

Looking more closely at the photos, I reckon it may actually be a DeLorean rather than an Audu though...

I always found it funny how they could engineer a gauge like this but a pesky fuel gauge was beyond them

You'd think it would have been cheaper to make a fuel gauge & tank level sender etc ?

Just seen @Weird Car beat me to it 😂

Clean looking low mileage Ford KA - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/317720955123

2002, so this may or may not have the antique Endura E? It's a shame the Mk I Ka will rot like it is a car from the 1970s, they steer well and the design is interesting, being the first  New Edge production model.

All true. MOT history shows corrosion present on rear subframe, not excessive. Minor miracle for one of these. Was my son's first car, it was a race to get him through his test before it disolved. 😶‍🌫️

Back in the day, some people credited these as the nail in the British bike industry's coffin.

rear subframe

Meaning rear twist beam? Not hard to change and spares were plentiful last I looked.

Clubman. More or less what I'd want in a Mini although I'd de-Barry it a bit. 

I like the wheels but I'd also add some bumpers.

£5200 start, £8300 bins, Craigavon.

Metal gluing skillz?

Naaahhh not me, I dunno how to M9. 

Honest. 

😅

Quite correct. Not a BLARG made product. Very rare conversion from a Van. Interesting it's been fitted with an earlier dash.

That 205 is wonderful, great colour and bASe spec! Should be saved and shown at FOTU really.
