    Love watching your videos, and as a fellow Audi nut, you need to save the two Audi 80 convertibles, they are so rare now, and would make great content for your channel. Love what you do, looking forward to more videos. 👍😎

    My Dad knew all his 30's and 40"s cars. Now you see them advertised and the price is a fraction of 70's and 80's. It's sad. Some 1950's cars now aren't appreciated as much as they should be and they should be worth so much more.
    (Love the pic at the end! Wow!)

    I think just because she started up after 18 months outside she deserves to be restored, it seems you have faith in the engine/cooling system fans etc she deserves to live on if you have the time and theres nothing better than a happy significant other.

    I had a green estate Audi 80, diesel. Bought it at 100k miles sold it at 200k miles. One of the most reliable and best looking cars I ever owned. Had to go to London to se a specialist and stayed at a posh hotel. The car park attendant was so impressed with my car he found me a prominent parking space between a Rolls Royce and a Bentley. Only had good looking cars on display at the front of the hotel. Only sold it because my wife kept getting rained on from the sun roof which Audi could never fix. Miss that car.

  • @bondbug73
    @bondbug73 8 месяцев назад +1

    I had a 2.0 Audi 80 convertable in a turquoise colour with a magnolia interior. Driving through High Wycombe one hot summer's day I stopped at a junction. Two black blokes were stood on the kerb by where i was and one said to the other "look at dat fat poof in dat gay car!" The Audi was for sale on Auto Trader that afternoon!
    Re your Audi, it would be a bloody nice car for you to go down to France in. They are both worth saving.

    @sim6699 8 месяцев назад +1

    Audi's cool with those period oz alloy wheels and only rising in price as you appear aware of 80s and 90s cars.
    Perhaps spend one day a week working on your vehicles.

    Brilliant video , very different but I loved it , I reckon as you mentioned Mathewson in this video you should put both of them through their auction as a job lot , it would make for a great crossover video & hopefully push you a bit more mainstream 🤷🏼‍♂️, but great content either way 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    We owned 3 5-cylinder Passat's: 2 1921cc carb manuals and a 1994cc injected automatic. All 3 utterly reliable with 250 000 miles between them. Loved the sound of the 5-pot engine. I'd refurb them both if you can put the parts list into reality. I always fancied the 2.3 20v 5-cylinder Audi 90. 170 bhp with the sound and the acceleration.

    Yes it's a shame to cannibalise the green Audi, but it's a rich source of parts to make the purple one really nice. You'd still get a buyer for the green one with the more cosmetically challenged bits from the purple one fitted to it.

    Delores has to live on. She's lovely albeit a little mousy! Must keep that in the inner circle. As far as your trip to France... have you measured the Trabant or the Plastic Pig to see if they'll fit in the back of the van that is stranded out there? Drive one out there (slowly), pop it in the back of the van when you get there and drive them both back! You know it makes (no) sense!

    Good Afternoon Al and Fudgey. Another Lovely relaxed and Informative video from You Al. You do have some rather Unique and very Rare of today, because you do Not see these Gorgeous vehicles on our roads anymore. It is all of these Boring Plastic and no Character pieces of crap. These were Fine Examples of Excellent German Engineering at it's Best. Mercedes Benz and Audi. These vehicles were built to last. Sell the Green Audi, Fully Restore the Purple 2.6, V6 Beast back to her Original condition and Spec. Suprize your Dear Wife with the Finished vehicle parked on her driveway wrapped like a Birthday Present with a Large Red Bow tied around her, for your Dear Wife to Un-Wrap Al. That would just Perfect my Friend. With the Austin 10 vehicle, he needs a Professional Vintage Vehicle Restorer, to do Everything on this Gorgeous Vintage piece of Beauty. Thank you very much Al and Fudgey. You really do have such Excellent vehicles, that make Excellent Restoration Projects for Future Video's. This really is my Friend, A Superb Channel for vehicle Enthusiasts. Very, very Well Done...!!!!!!

  • @superbike_rider2101
    @superbike_rider2101 8 месяцев назад +1

    I like those Audi’s, back in the day had a mid early ‘90s Audi 80 2 litre, and before that a B reg, green 5 cyl coupe (not the Quattro)! I say get your green one MOT-worthy and sell it on, you should sort Delores out properly tho and keep it... if Mrs H likes it as much as you say, even if you get her to agree to sell it, you may never hear the last of it! Cool car... Africa Twins are Hondas, the early ones were 750s, those were discontinued but they became CRF1000 and currently CRF 1100. Have a go at CBT, even if it’s just for shits and giggles! Would make for a good vid... I’m a petrol head too and lucky in that I have a car, diesel camper and too many bikes... I can’t recommend motorcycling enough, but it’s costly to get a full licence so maybe a 750 as wall decoration wouldn’t be a bad thing 👌
