Proper grandad spec :lol:

I imagine it’ll go for lots of money to someone who rip it to bits for a build. Can’t say I blame them, will probably still be cheaper than trying to properly restore a tatty one, but would be a bit of a shame.

That. Except I do blame them. A lot of the drift crowd seem to make a point of deliberately making their cars look like shit with butchered & missing bodywork.

Yeah, I don’t really get it. I mean, I get that drifting could be fun, I get wanting to build a cool car, but I don’t get the spend loads of time and money building something to then bash into each other / the wall and rip bits off, then bash them back roughly into shape with lump hammers.

A lot of it seems to be not far off banger racing :lol:

Yeah, it’s kind of like rat rod in that it started with people building what they had without worrying about aesthetics and ended up with people deliberately trashing stuff to get the “drift missile” look.

Doesn’t stop me wanting a beat up Onevia to fulfill all my dorifto dreams though :lol:

Wrong drivetrain but it’s been years since I’ve seen one as nice as that
My word that's lovely! Like you say, it's a pity it's an auto (and strangely, it doesn't have A/C either). Makes me long for my old S13s.
If you get all wobbly-lipped about the opinion of Internet strangers, maybe it's time to take a bath with the toaster as you'll never amount to sh1t anyway.

I can’t see how you would ever lose money on that Rallye. millenial cars are definitely in their appreciation zones now.

I would love that Rallye, sounds like it needs a little TLC, but would be great fun to hoon around in.

The 106 is an inflation proof investment, right?
MR2 for me please.

Nice spec A6 with a 3.0 turbo petrol.

There's only one other on Autotrader but with more miles and black leather and more money.

That one has comfort seats - a rare option and worth having. Nice.

The engine is the 3.0 V6 supercharged one shared with the B8 S4, not a turbo, by the way.

I thought that's what we're used at the time but then Parkers, Evo and then a local tuning firm's website all have them as a turbo. Thought it might have been a really rare engine only available for a short time but Wiki doesn't have any 3.0 turbos made by VAG around then so it can't be. 400bhp with a remap though, possibly a pulley adjustment if it's supercharged.

Edit - also both badged as 3.0T. Why? I know Audi do it for all forced induction but it doesn't make sense.

360 CS has to be Rosso Corsa with the stripes doesn't it?

I was drawn to the pictures and price first before I realised it was a CS which explained why it was so expensive.

I am partial to a Ferrari in silver or blue, but just not that one :)
