Hi all

I` ve been umming and arring about buying another bike bringing my total personal vehicles to 4.

Do i really need it all the extra expense, feeling a bit guilty really, so just curious to learn how many of you have more than one vehicle and why?

4 types of vehicle, currently. Peugeot 308, Audi A2, MGB 1972 and Peugeot Liberty 125cc bike. Sold another MGB a couple of weeks ago. Drive the blue on through Germany, over the Italian Alps to lakes Como and Garda in August, fantastic trip would def. recommend it the Stelvio Pass is unmissable.View attachment 58823

Yes no problems at all. I did need to rest her on the way up the Alps to cool for 20 mins. Very hot Summer it was already 38C and because I keep her original with no electric fan.

I must admit I did not enjoy Stelvio on the motorcycle to many swish back hairpins the novelty wore off quickly ..san berdanino with its sweeping roads allowing good turns of speed in between some of the tight corners was a joy ..like any of these mountain passes don’t ride / drive them weekends or peak holidays way way toooo much traffic to enjoy it fully ...

Yes your right luckily I read about the tourist crush so planned the journey to start from an Alpine hotel in Trafoi at the top of the Stevio. We left at 8am after breakfast so had the trip down with no other cars and at our own speed even stopping and taking pics it was terrific. Clarkson I think was right to say it was the best road in the world to drive.

The FSI is amazing (I've just bought one - see project Stob), but as with all the A2's they have their faults and idiosyncrasies. If you were interested in buying that car I can share more info but lets take this to PM.

Cheers.

My 2005 A2 Tdi90, 2003 A6 Allroad, 1990 Mercedes 300CE and 1972 VW Beetle. I'm trying to cut down, the non Audis are either for sale or will be !! I justify the Allroad for its caravan towing duties
