The last owner has some skid pans and side rails he's going to give it too, not sure if i'll put them on. I haven't owned my own car since 2004, kind of excited. no idea why.


It's nice being able to do whatever you want with it. Maybe consider tints and aftermarket rims?

Mine just turned 5 this month and I've done a lot of work on it in the last couple years.

Bottom pic is from a track visit last month.

The company went all out with the used Kia? Are sure they weren't trying to run you off? Maybe they were trying to establish your tolerance. Meaning, if we can get this guy to drive around in a Kia we can get him to do pretty much any shitty thing we want.

Just a thought...

Anyway, it's not a very attractive vehicle. But most cross-overs aren't.

It's going to get a kicking, Maz. it'll be filthy next month and the wheels will get hammered off road. not much point in tarting it up.

You've misunderstood. I had a £20k hello package to buy a car. Soz.

Figures your priority would be looks over function, you shallow tool :olo:

2011 Audi A4 Premium Plus Quattro. I don't think I've ever owned a car this long. But it still looks and runs awesome. The quattro traction control is really what makes this car so fun to drive. We like it so much we're seriously considering another.

Misunderstood? Where'd you explain that? But that kind of makes it worse. You actually chose a Kia. Did you consider kicking in a few bucks and getting something a little more "respectable", like an A5/A7? It is possible to get functionality and looks. Just not at 20k.

Fair play, I did a trip up north to a friend's farm on a wet day and it was completely caked in mud. Kinda sexy though :drool:

I honestly hope the car is half decent Doombrain. I've owned a kia in the past and it was easily the worst car I've ever owned. I had a lot of problems with mine in a very short timeframe, wound up getting rid of it after a year and getting a jeep.

Stupid shit you'd not see in other cars, like door levers detaching in the cold, same with the windows, broke them and couldn't roll the window down cause the internal parts are made of plastic and broke in the cold. Alternator went bad and probably some more problems I can't remember. I'll never buy another kia.

I've had 3 Audis. I find them boring and unreliable, even the 3.0tdi. Looks like JD agree with me.

:rolleyes: Gramps screams insecurity with every post.

First thing he does is try to justify the age of the car, reassuring us that he normally has a newer vehicle. Then he try's to make the car sound "fun" by bragging about traction control, of all fucking things. Then he reinforces his adamancy of a solid marriage with "we", while bragging about "seriously considering" buying another of the same car...

I had older cars when I was in my teens and early twenties. But this is the first car in almost 20 years that I've had more than 3 years. Which I thinks speaks to the quality and class of Audi. And if you've ever drove a quattro you'd understand how much more fun driving can be.

You've nailed it alright. "It" being how upset you are. :olo:
