[Biturbos4] A milestone

[mike mcclurg]

Richard,

Just a thought.

Sounds like you are in the right part of the world for this idea.  Have you thought about trying to interest the "Wheeler Dealers" into taking it as a project to turn around on their show?  We get their show on cable here in the colonies and I always thought they should do an Audi.

An S4 would be a good fit for them.  Maybe you could sell it to them and then buy it back!  The more I think about it, the more it sounds like a great show idea.

Good luck,
Mike (I have 210,000 miles on mine)

The insurers are currently claiming it's worth GBP 2000. :(

They are going for about GBP 4000 on Autotrader, so I'm in the process 
of trying to negotiate the insurers up to that sort of region. Certainly 
nothing approaching $10000, even for a low milage example (which, as 
previously noted, this certainly isn't).

I still haven't decided whether to keep the car and get it straightened 
out - the body shop it's ended up at are keen to help, with parts from 
breakers where necessary - or take the cash and get something else. Part 
of me wants to keep the car - I know it well, it's well maintained, and 
I don't want the hassle of having to find something new - and part of me 
suspects that the turbos are on borrowed time anyway and I'll still be 
driving something which, sadly, isn't worth much.
