Audi A2

[somewhatfoolish]

I'm enjoying the A2 experience as I've borrowed my brother's for a bit; it's a dizzler and appears to be a competent An Car so far.

[inconsistant]

This has now sold so I thought I'd pop the last few photos of it up.

I took it to the Brooklands German Car Day a couple of weeks ago, I was supposed to be taking the 924 but it decided to be naughty and not work so I went in the A2 instead with 924oc chums. A2oc were parked up around the corner next to Concorde, they had a massive turn out of A2s all looking lovely..

And there was this one too...

But back to ours...

 

It's gone to another A2oc member who has been running a 1.6fsi as a daily but it's suffered HGF so he was after another one the same to continue to daily. Hopefully he'll continue the good work and love that previous owners have given it and it will live a long and useful life being lighter than expected and surprisingly big on the inside.

I will miss it but I won't miss it. I liked owning it and I liked how unusual and clever it is. It felt a bit flimsy. For something so design led it had some weird things going on, like a dipstick that was impossible to read, and although the bonnet coming off is great for access it's actually a bit annoying because it always needs somewhere clean to put it down. It was good to pootle about in locally and the stereo was brilliant but I didn't really enjoy driving it that much. Now our Mini is back on the road it's even more clear how much more fun that is than the A2 to be in and drive. I'm glad they exist and on balance I'd probably get another one though!
