ive lost all interest in her
i have 2 options.
1. Buy a new car and split her as its worth more money in parts
2. Buy a new car and keep it and turn it into a proper project but that will be more money.
not sure what to do.

everyone seems to be moving on now.
thats what made me split mine, MOT and tax is up end of the month £50 MOT £120 tax for 6 months. so i didn't see the point, and i didnt want to see anyone with the car driving around, or on any other forums. my car is worth more in parts too.
onwards and upwards.

Aye I've just done the same.. didnt have the means to sell parts seperately in time but moved onto a MK4 Golf 1.8 20VT.
Much nicer car to be in day to day. I don't think you'd regret the move to an A3 mate.

going from adam's experience though, audi's are a pain in the arse and cost a fucking fortune to maintain!
he has had nothing but problems and he has to shell out money to get it fixed coz you have to spend a hell of a lot of time to do even simple jobs!
...its a shame to see you move away, but it is your car and if you've had enough, thats that. i mean...you wanted an s14 when your old corsa died...so i was suprised to see another one.
