Audi 80

Well, that doesn't happen too often: A couple of guys knocked on my door, asking if I wanted to sell my car. It's an Audi 80, with low mileage, and it's in pretty good nick. I fell in love with this car many years ago, along with the Mercedes 190E and BMW 316. There's another guy up the road, who has an Audi that's even older than mine, and he keeps it in pristine condition. These cars seem to have quite the following. They run well, they have a retro look about them, and they don't look out of place on the road.

I couldn't bring myself to selling my Audi, even though I know it's going to cost me an arm and a leg this year in tire replacement costs and break disc replacements. I'd be better off ditching it now and buying an equally good Audi 80 for around £1200, but I can't do it.
