Hi, I'm Bob a retired Civil Engineer and I am the proud owner of a 55 reg Audi A3 2 Litre TDi purchased in 2010 with 79,000 on the clock when I retired. It has now covered 217,000 + fairly quick miles (I have a heavy right foot) and it is still going strong.

I like working on cars and try to do most of the work myself though it has to be said that I am a bit limited on this car due to the complexity - it's got a computer! - when you consider that my other car is a Healey 3000 and is easy to understand and work on.
