Saw you loading it, was in the silver Audi at the time. That car really does look nice, best body kit in my eyes. Nice one.
From fastest to slowest:

Birkin race car, not much is standard
Lotus Elise 111R, almost everything is standard
'75 SP 1600 with a few mods
B8 A4 Avant tdi, towing made easy

Thanks for all the comments.

So since owning it I put a helicoil in and its been 200%. Then I just got stuck to side of the road. No spark. Hit the coil and off I went. Haha. Eventually changed the coil and rewired as the wiring is up to sh!t. There is rust on the pan and doors etc. so I think the respray will be on the cards first. I got a few quotes already and looks good.

Then I want to change the interior. Im not a fan at all. If someone is interested let me know
