Hello from another first-time A2 owner...

Hi, I wanted to introduce myself as a new A2 owner. I collected an island green tdi 75 last week from Bristol. It’s my first A2 but I’ve ummed and ahhed over one for literally 10 years and finally taken the plunge – having never driven one and only been a passenger in one back when they were new in the early 2000s. I’ve already found the forum really useful and will apologise in advance when I inevitably ask a question that’s been asked a million times… My drive home from collecting the car was 170 miles and it didn’t let me down. Ok, it needs a service, thermostat and some front suspension work but nothing more than I expected in buying an 18 yr old car. Importantly it came with 16x service stamps and the MOT history showed regular use. I plan on getting new wheels (or a refurb) and getting the car feeling tighter over time but i'm not much of a home-mechanic as much as I would like to be. I’m based in Frodsham, Cheshire (half way between Chester/Warrington) so feel free to wave if you see me tootling round and I am open to suggestions of good technicians/support in the area. Thanks.

Enjoy the club ?
Loads to read up on and lots of knowledgeable people on here. I don’t live very far from you if you ever need any help.

Thanks Darpod14, very kind and I will most probably call on you at some point down the line. The A2 already feels like a car that can get right under your skin so keen to improve the car where I can. Cheers.
