Went to my first meet today :relaxed: - nice people nice Audis :relaxed: anyone in the north east looking for advice and fellow Audi pals should join :relaxed:

I know - I'm really worried about all the stone chips on the bonnet and there are minor scratches (not my doing) and I need to get him seen to by a professional so I can then keep on top of the maintenance ...just waiting until I get a decent job and income ...has to happen soon ...

:flushed: Bit concerned about the rubber gloves, kneeling pad , detailing stool and the das pro 6 polisher?!! :tearsofjoy: I think my neighbours would be concerned if I had a Sunday on the drive with all that gear :tearsofjoy:lol!!

Hahaha!!! You have actually !! Wondering where I'm going to find a) the time b) the money c) the energy !!! The panic is setting in about whorls and scratches and I'm running out wiping bird poo off every 30 mins!!! How do people keep sane and keep a tiptop Audi haha!!!

Thanks for that - didn't know there was a local meets or detailing section lol! Still learning !

Thanks ....I'm still finding my feet ...just be happy to know the basics right now! Shame there aren't any Audi info courses or a local Audi owners group lol - I'm boring the life out of my work colleagues haha!

Good lord! There's things I've never heard of before poorboys black hole?! What o earth is that??!!lol! I've used the AG polish last week but every other week demon shine. As for the cloth in the microwave - I don't get time on a morning for a coffee in the microwave let alone warm bird poo...

Maybe I'm getting confused - i seem to do that a lot lol! When I say polish I mean wash then use demon shine /auto glym ??...is that ok? It's just that I have to park him on my drive which sees much bird action and the poop needs removing daily and I work on site where there's loads of dust and...

Ive been advised by a colleague to use a tiny bit of copper slip around the threads - I'll also check them every time I wash and polish him - every Sunday - and I have the plastic ones in reserve lol - oh and I got some back to black in the £1 shop at the metro centre !! Yay!! Happy !!

Haha! Never thought of that ! Colleague told me peanut butter but the experience I had with that the other week was not pleasant :anguished:..had more on the upholstery, mats and in my hair than on the trim ! Gets everywhere :rage:. ...no I used that liquid shoe polish stuff...it was black ...ok...

I used that after the chamois ...have I committed an awful Audi faux pas :fearscream:??...I'm still learning ...bet you wouldn't approve of what I used on the plastic/rubber widow trims seeing as I can't get my hands on back to black :fearscream::grimacing:....improvise adapt and overcome ....or...

Only used it to dry him off - before waxing :anguished:...and it's good on the Windows :grimacing: have I done somethimg awful?! :fearscream:

cant beat the £1 shops for auto bits - got some turtle wax wash and wax shampoo, really good quality chamois leathers, MF mitt, tyre shine (as good as expensive gear) interior handy wipes, and these really snazzy stainless steel valve caps - mine has the black plastic ones but replaced with...

Oh we've all been there! Hindsight is a wonderful thing!! Bet you loved it at the time and felt great revving the engine at traffic lights haha!:tearsofjoy:Back in the day it was the XR3i and XR2i that all us boy/girl racers wanted! I had an XR3i (or rather ex hubby wanted it and I stupidly part...

The Datsun sunny was my first car but it never meant as much to me as my Mk5 Cortina - 1.6L - nothing fancy and as solid as a brick (apart from the wheel arches and sills that rusted like mad!) I adored that car - spent hours messing about under the bonnet with a Haynes manual doing more damage...

wow !! Haven't cars changed!!! In our lifetimes ! - wonder what the cars in 20 yrs time will look like!!!

Hahaha!!! Awesome!! Love it :tearsofjoy:crying laughing at the big boom box and bean can exhaust !! Kid up my road has a Subaru - similar thing going on haha!!! And I bet your wife was dead impressed - happy ending all round apart from the GTi wannabe - gone to the big scrappy in the sky...

Must have a laptop though! Lol

Wow!! Thankyou for sharing ! What amazing pics !! Lovely to see old pics and hear the story behind them - how lovely :relaxed:...fantastic

ok - so who has pics of their first car?! Some of us older dudes didn't have mobile phones to take pics with ....so historical footage obtained by 'proper ' and disposable cameras (remember those dodgy things?! ) is hard to come by ....here's my contribution ....dodgy 80s fashions and a Datsun...
