Good question - one of the diesels.. wasn't it the biggest? (Which would make it the same as my colleagues)

700+something from a tank, wasn't it, in the show?

I think so.. I know very little about Audi's, mind (generally on account of their cost!)

like wise, but even top of the range Audis eventually become affordable to the masses ...... like a £30 000 Omega has become.

Indeed...I do not know all the details but my brother in law was telling me at Christmas that he had no choice to let his Quatro go because he could not replace the gearbox, he might have also meant refurb at a reasonable price, he was puddled at the time, suffice to say the maintenance costs were ott and unaffordable, so car scrapped....

Traveling that distance sounds good but, they do have a 90 litre fuel tank!

He used the 4.0 TDi, which is less efficient than the 4.2 TDi too Is this the same Di that, joined, left, joined again, left then joined again, left and has now joined again to tell us she's bought an Audi?
