    A heartbreaking decision and the end of an incredible journey

    Evening all, I hope this finds you and yours safe and well. This is a thread I hoped I'd never write but alas here I am. Due to circumstances beyond my control, and in the interests of the welfare of my family and I, my prized A2 has passed through my grasp and tonight has a new owner. It was...

    Rest in peace Ma'am

    The administration and membership of A2OC join the nation in paying our deepest respects following the death of her majesty the Queen. Our Queen was outstanding as a person, monarch and inspirational ruler of our nation. She was the very best of our royalty. Rest in peace Ma'am. God save the Queen.

    Graham's final journey

    Graham's funeral was well attended on Friday. The cortege was made up of 8 A2s and a gull-wing Tesla. I have a feeling that Graham would have approved of both models, though the A2 would have been the chariot of choice as the better innovative package, there is no doubt. I have included some...

    Spike aka Graham

    Many of you will have seen the news that our stalwart member and legend of A2OC Graham was taken ill recently, and some of you will have contributed to the get well soon messages on this thread. It is with a heavy heart that I make this announcement. Graham fought his illness bravely, but he...

    The A2 used car market is definitely smaller than it was...

    I've been keeping a watchful eye on the Autotrader adverts for the past 6 years on and off. The current market of 18 is by far the lowest I personally recall seeing. There were 50 plus advertised regularly back in 2016. I'd guess another few years and we could be down to single digit sales, with...

    Retrofitted headlining

    Good evening everyone, I hope this finds you safe and well. A happy fathers day to all the dads out there and to all those single parent mums who fulfil a dual role. I do need to think about starting a project thread for my A2, but for now, yet another separate threat. On Saturday, I added the...

    Thoughts of the day...

    After flirting with selling up several times since the onset of COVID, mostly due to the lack of use of my A2 (not a daily driver, no car shows/social scene), it not being dry stored and looking sorry for itself 9 times out of 10, and the typical ongoing servicing and tax costs when balanced...

    First wash in seven years...

    If like me you get satisfaction from seeing a dirty car clean, then this might well be for you. Not washed for seven years and it shows. Great to see the robustness and quality of the paint underneath it all. Enjoy!

    How do I upgrade my account to access the marketplace?

    Good afternoon all, Historically there has been some confusion about how to correctly upgrade your account to access the A2OC marketplace. This includes occasions when members have donated £2 to A2OC in error, assuming this is the correct method. For clarity, anyone wishing to upgrade their...

    A very apt article

    Apologies if this has been posted before, but I've just stumbled upon it and enjoyed virtually every word penned of this September 2020 article. The author, by and large, really gets the A2 from concept and ethos through to practical execution...

    Personalising the anniversary sticker

    A bit of A2 fettling this afternoon and I took the opportunity to renew my anniversary sticker. It was always my vision to drop the anniversary part at some point as we are now beyond the 20 years. To me the logo itself from @TYP 8Z is simply a stunning design that captures the lines of the A2...

    Degraded rear view mirror glass

    Evening all, Hope you are all keeping safe and well. My rear view mirror glass appears to have degraded, best I can describe is it looks like it needs wiping, but the marks are behind the glass. I'm guessing the fluid is leaking out. I have the auto anti-dazzle mirror and was wondering if a...

    Remembering John Laurence

    As many of you will recall, during our epic Scottish social in 2019 and on this very day, one of life's good guys, John Laurence, lost his battle with illness. John was a lovely man who braved his illness with courage and a smile. An incredible story teller and a man who enjoyed life. Like...

    A personal thank you to @Rickmeister

    As you might know, @Rickmeister offers an amazing service to the club and members by taking Audi Tradition orders from us, placing the order, taking delivery at his home in Germany, checking the items over and then shipping them to the UK. This is an invaluable service without which UK orders...

    Holy Grail spotted by us on the M1 this morning

    @Birchall, your former chariot was spotted by us heading north on the M1 this morning. Di frantically snapped away as it passed by in the outside lane. I eventually overtook and Di got a thumbs up from the driver as we passed - presumably wondering why we were paying so much attention to the car...
