Goodbye my faithful friend

[stevec]

Hi All
After 8 years of reliable/ economicial and down right fun, i have been dreaded this day. The time has come for me to say goodbye to THE best car i have ever had.
AKA Doug has never failed to put a smile on my face, watching the lovely merlot red pearl react to the sunlight hitting it (a real jekyl and hyde color) or scrolling through the trip computer to see the stupid MPG figure, or to planting my right foot and riding the torque wave (still surprises me that it's only a 3 cylinder!)
So due to needing a bigger car, my replacement for the frugal and fun A2 tdi is another diesel burner, in this case it's an old skool cool T4 2.5 tdi multivan!
This is gonna be one hell of a wallet ride.
Wish me luck i think i'm gonna need it.
Thanks everyone for advice and for being a friendly bunch.
Steve

Good luck Steve.
Maybe you will sell it via the forum...
Best wishes

Steve, so sorry to see you leave A2 ownership, your company has been a pleasure. Good luck with your new endeavours!

There's still some good news though. I believe @timmus knows how to fit cruise control to a Multivan with the 2.5TDI engine

Luckily my T4 already has factory fit cruise control a very rare option, and now a very expensive one due to the arm unavailable.

Here's the T4.

See you on your return.
