Evening Steve,
Completely agree, it was a pleasure to finally meet Paul, a totally nice guy.
This stunning A2 will become my commuter once it’s been enhanced somewhat.
An associated Project thread will commence soon Sir.
Kind regards,
Tom

Evening Ian,Congratulations Tom, that really does look good with such a shine on it. Look forward to seeing it at the next social
This will definetly be at the socials from now on. The paint work is actually quite good and has only received a bucket of warm soapy water so far. No polish or wax just yet. Such a great colour.
Kind regards,
Tom

Evening Ed,
I honestly don’t know yet as the ambient light was disappearing with every wipe of the microfibre towels. I’ll come back to you in better natural light tomorrow Sir.
Does look nice already though and that before applying any paint protective products.
Edit: From what I can find online about Jaipur Red LZ3S, is it indeed pearlescent. Cannot wait to clay it down followed by applying a quality polish and wax.
Kind regards,
Tom

Now that is a beautiful thing, if I could have one of those, my blue one and a pine green I would be very happy.

Evening David,
Yes the car is great shape and is a great base to further enhance.
Hello Andy,
You have a great fullest there. What I can say though is the colour is just stunning. If you do find one, I can highly recommend you view it after it’s been on a winter wet motorway for a few hours. I can promise you that wiping away the grime will out a massive smile on your face. It certainly did mine this afternoon.
Evening Mandy,Well done Tom, glad it's stayed in the club. Look forward to seeing it at a social in 2023. I'm sure you will work your magic on it.
Happy Christmas to you, Sue and the boys
The very same to you and Martin. This beautiful A2 will be with me at the socials next year for sure. Have a good-en.
Kind regards,
Tom

Technically not a "today", but after buying my latest A2 Tdi from Duncan @MrDCG (previously owned by Ian @Proghound) I completed a 2 day journey across France, Belgium and Germany, finally arriving in Poland last night. The car didn't miss a beat, also makes me smile that the freshly installed winter tyres have seen more snow and ice in Sussex than they have anywhere in Europe (so far)

Hello Simon,
Thank you, yes it’s great, it really is.
Paul has done this A2 (Project PDK thread to follow) proud and I’m so happy to be able to take it even further. You’ll certainly be seeing it at the start of the year meal social. My new pride and joy.
Kind regards,
Tom

Today, this happened ....
You'll have seen @Darren C's thread about leaving A2 ownership. This afternoon the beatiful Cobalt FSI, which he has so dilligently and painstakingly cared for over several years, came to its new home in my garage. For anyone who hasn't seen it, the stunning condition inside and out is testament to the amount of time and effort that Darren put into it, and I would like to express my deep gratitude to him for agreeing to sell it to me.
For those who knew that I'd sold my Imola Yellow Colour Storm TDI, I didn't want to say anything at the time in order to give Darren every chance to change his mind if he wanted to. And should he decide to resume A2 ownership at a later date, I've invited him to come and talk to me in the first instance.
Meanwhile I'm going to have to brush up on my detailing skills over and above the 2-bucket wash I'll be seeking out some decent products to help keep things the way they are. As my Storm did, the FSI will be coming out for socials and to enjoy on fine days - of which we're sadly not expecting many for the next few months. I look forward to being able to enjoy the innovative FSI engine as Audi made it, implemented in the A2 that I already know and love. But the first thing I have to do is get used to driving a petrol car again - I've owned nothing but diesels for the last 10 years - almost to the day. As you can imagine, I gave Darren a lift home in my Crystal TDI

Hi Ian,
Delighted to see suspicions have been borne out. Well done, Sir! Looking forward to seeing it in the not too distant future. Can't think of a better place for that car to find it's new home.
Christmas Greetings.

Evening,Great stuff - that looks amazing ! Look forward to the thread … Does it also have the beige interior ? Welcome to the very select Jaipur club
I did notice you join us recently with your gorgeous Jaipur Red A2, welcome to the Club. Very nice to see another of the same colour about to get some attention and pampering.
The new Project thread has already commenced here:
https://www.a2oc.net/community/index.php?threads/project-pdk-2001-jaipur-red-tdi-amf.51413/
The restoration works to bring it up to the standard of my current commuter:
https://www.a2oc.net/community/index.php?threads/project-oem-2002-azure-blue-tdi-amf.43215/
As for the interior colour scheme, right now it has a Swing (dark grey plastics) Interior with Black Leather Seats. This will no doubt change over time as I believe the exterior colour suits a Twist (beige) Interior. So many decisions to be made.
More to follow on the Project PDK thread.
Kind regards,
Tom
Today I got home from work to find my 14 year son had been working on multi player game he is putting together with a certain A2 as the star. Working lights, indicators, hazard lights, brake lights, horn and hand brake for handbrake turns. Hit an object and you can knock off your mirrors, number plates or if really bad a wheel. Any other ideas and I'll pass them onto him. The shape is a little chunky but recognisable.
Just wish I could download the video.

Good on him @Stan H very clever young man
Not bad for self taught, better than spending hours playing a game.
Has his sites set on some type of coding career. I'll let him know your comments, he will be made up.
