On Saturday I said goodbye to my faithful A2 TDi90 Sport after 16 years of ownership. I bought it at 18 months old, with a mere 3000 miles on the clock, and it left me with 140,000 miles, so we've had quite a time together.
We've had our ups and downs, a turbo failure quite early on, and a bottom end engine rebuild more latterly, plus I seem to have rectified most of the common A2 faults somewhere along the way, but it was always worth the cost and hassle. So much fun to drive, such a pleasure even just for a trip to the shops.
I'll miss it, but I'm happy that it's gone to somebody from this forum, @Cenick who understands and appreciates A2s, and who will probably get around to doing the upgrades and little jobs I intended to do, but didn't. So it'll live on, hopefully happily for its new owner and I wish them both well.
