    This should be a solid series but two things...
    1. If you put £2,000 of improvements into it then you've gone over your £5,000 budget and should then have to cut that from your profit.
    2. Please don't use who you are to get a better deal. If anyone says "because it's you" or gives you a discount for promoting their business. Should have to cancel the deal.

    All the best, btw you have come so far since I first watched you a few years back! Keep up the great work you and the lads are doing and thanks for making amazing videos for us all, I love your humour and passion for cars you are entertaining and basically just a better version of top gear lets be real.
    Hey Amazon or Netflix need to give you a multi million pound budget and see what happens.. oh we already know what would happen.. it would be the best car show in the world. I cant imagine the crazy challenges and stuff you could do, have youtube and celeb guest for timed laps etc..

    You don't need to take the front end off to do the belt and water pump, there's a service position and enough slack in wiring and hoses to save the time. Rust also ISN'T common on a B5, though the door blades can cause it when the clips snap.

    That S4 is a cracker, and being as I'm never going to be able to afford an S2 or RS6 then something like that would be an affordable alternative.
    At 4.5k I'd have snatched his hand off. It looks like the original owner chose some quality optional extras, so with between £1300-£1800 spent on paintwork, service and a few odd bits you'd end up with a potential future classic that is going to appreciate enough to be worth looking after but enjoying while you own it.

Plenty of following on these older Audi estates especially this version. Should Comfortably sell for maybe £7.5k to a fellow enthusiast. Pics of mine are somewhere on Instagram. I paid £800 for mine and would happily buy it again.
