All set for another year...

[Tom Nas]

Hi all,

Today, my 1987 Audi 80 1.8 with 272k km went for its annual inspection...
and passed!
Now this might sound perfectly normal, but this is the same car that I
bought two and a half years ago for $60 and that doesn't get any
maintenance whatsoever! I just fix what breaks, which is not a whole lot -
this year, one headlight switch packed up.

Now this wasn't a shade-tree operation where I had the car tested, but the
friendly local (almost) VAG dealership!
I got a note that the exhaust will need replacing in the near future (no
kidding! lost the tailpipe last weekend, just rusted off!) but otherwise it
was a clean pass. And it's not exactly been standing still either...

Audis, great reliable cars!

Tom
