Oh god, now you've done it .. @The Hodge will be over to take pictures of it in action and load them up as the next flip book for us to download and assemble. The last one was already a Zack Snyder extended re-mix of his previous 2 hour ride ..

Not fire breathing as it's a diesel but it is a 3.0L V6 Quattro Allroad ..and she is very lovely to drive ..?
I think you clicked post by accident instead of "bulk upload next 100 images" ?
i`ll give you that Hodge me old fruit, very nice indeed,but still dream of my old fire breathing 2.2 ltr 340bhp (went in divorce settlement) car
and the ones that went through Keilder in the dark, heavy snow

The sound of a 5cyl Audi was fantastic, I worked for a while in garage where all the techs had tuned Coupés or Quattros. The noise at the end of the day was like a rally starting.
The little 3cyls used these days have a similar off beat gruff engine note.

The family business (which I was only very briefly a part of ) was based at The Comb and in between stages of the old R.A.C.rally ..as such we got into non spectator parts of the forest to watch those fire breathing monsters fly through..some sight (& sound )..?
Yep ..you are right ..at the other end of the scale we also have a DS3..1.2 3 pot with a turbo ..Great engine noise inside the cab and while not particularly quick it thinks its a baby Ferrari ..?
Hodge 1hr Photo development Ltd almost went bankrupt after only a week due to their long running policy of unlimited free photos for staff.

I like the 3.0L 6-pot Fire and Brimstone (aka Diesel) motors. They don’t sound as glorious as petrol, but they do growl while mercilessly ripping tar!

It's an estate car, not a lorry. There's no space to close the door properly even just with one days photo albums on board.That is very nice but the door gap don’t look right, is it a shut and cut.
(it does look like a sweet ride though).
Nippy too .. almost as fast as itchy (camera) trigger finger ..
How tall are you?
Very quick Zimmsy ..?
I had to look up what a cut & shut was ..but can confirm the only welds are original ..
I think the door was left open while I was taking pics of a nice sunset and drinking red wine .. the missus was driving at the time ( alco free)..had left the keys in the car and didn't want to accidently lock us out ..
Edit : Mine is not the bi-turbo..only 272hp..but quick enough for me ..still gets to 60 in a little over 5 seconds..and is limited to 155mph ..

Lucky it has walk mode so you can jump out and take photo's on the go ! Or is that how she always drives ?
Many years ago .. when I was young and only fell off motorcycles going much much faster than I fall off mountain bikes and only ever broke a toe..
Some friends were offered a Group B Short wheel base Audi S1 . It was a development car with 800hp and in financial terms was being given away as they scrapped Group B so it was also - scrap ! .. They didn't buy it .. I bet they still kick themselves .. though in fairness you'd have to be 1% of the 1% to probably not die driving it.

That was just like watching a historical video of the 73 times @The Hodge was called home for date night ..
there was an S1 for sale on pistonheads quite a few years back ex rally
offers if i remember was offers in excess of £125,000 probably upto
200 maybe now.
your mates should have bought a job lot
