I also have pipe dreams, but I dont know how far Ill get. I want to learn to do stuff. I was planning on doing small things to my Focus, but really finding it hard to find parts for my model. There's a really good place in the US call FSWerks, but their parts only fit the US models, which are very different from the Euro one that we get.
Now that I've fixed the Fairmont, I've decided Im gonna learn on this instead. Parts are much easier to come by, and much cheaper. Plus it does need some work. I have a grinding/gravelly noise coming from the rear, that I have self-diagnosed as the center bearing. Thats probably gonna be too hard for me to do. I also want to swap out the springs, because the previous owners (grey nomads) had special suspension put in to tow caravans, so the rear sits very high.
All of this may happen in the next 10 years

My current interest is the Renault Megane RS 265 - quite impressive handling and performance.
The problem is that no one wants to trade in an 18 year old Audi - even a hot model like the S2 - mainly because it is a rare vehicle and has a limited market.
I do have a couple of private collectors showing interest and am waiting for their offers.
Frankly though, I'd keep the Audi if I could do my own maintenance.

We've just purchased a Hyundai Sante Fe and after only 200km to date, we can say it's pretty damn good. I'll reserve my final judgement of course. We're going on a longer trip on the weekend so that will give us some idea of what it's like to sit in for an extended period of time.
