My name is Mike and I am an Audi lover.
There... I said it. What a relief.
My 19 year old Mk1 TT has been with me for 14 years and I recently decided it should have some equally classic company in the shape of what has turned out to be an unloved little A2.
I came to realise immediately that the "soft touch curse" is part of the A2 ownership experience, previous owner neglect being an unwelcome added bonus.
But the Opensky still works so it's not all bad!
A 20 year old car is going to be hiding some horrors and mine is no exception. The repair and restoration process is well under way. Overdue service work, rectification and cosmetics have already cost me £1500 and the leaking valve cover has yet to be addressed!
But I have fallen in love with the little thing and all of it's "quirks and features".
Expect to hear me begging for advice in the coming months and years.
