A blast from the past that advertisement. Anyway, some of you will have picked up on the fact that I registered interest in Paul’s @PaulA2 Tango Tank.
And here it is with the change of ownership complete, parked up at 2work Towers:

It’s a stunning colour and is rather deceiving to the eye. Here in person it’s Orange but in the pictures above it does look to be more Red in colour.
Really excited about starting a new project thread as soon as possible.
Kind regards and Merry Christmas,
Tom

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
Great stuff - that looks amazing ! Look forward to the thread … Does it also have the beige interior ? Welcome to the very select Jaipur club .. Must focus on getting mine sorted in the new year …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

Good on him @Stan H very clever young manToday 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.
Not bad for self taught, better than spending hours playing a game.Good on him @Stan H very clever young man
