Moving On

Well it's time to say bye to you all after nearly 3 years in the CSL.

As you may have picked up from an earlier thread, DiamondGeezer has just bought my car :big cry:

I know some of you keep track of movements, so it was previously Andyk's car, then went to a non-member for a few years before I bought it. Sadly he didn't keep it as pristine as Andy did, and I didn't rise to the challenge of restoring it to its former glory. Hopefully DiamondGeezer will...

I have just driven 250 miles home in its replacement - an RS4 Cabriolet

Let the abuse begin, but I have always liked the look of them! Not sure it will fill the hole left by the CSL though.

On a serious note, there's usually a lot of talk on here about possible alternatives to the CSL, but these are generally more expensive. What do people look for in the £20-£30k bracket?

I'm already thinking forwards to the next one and like the idea of trying the C63 after the Audi.

Anyone else done anything similar?

Anyway will keep checking in from time to time.

Cheers

Jon

You will miss the CSL

RS4 yes nice car but not the soft top depends what job you are in

As I've already said on the 'only one for sale' thread a massive thank you to Jon for being so accomadating during the sale of his car he went out of his way on more than one occasion

The works already started and it's at Bartletts having stage one of a fairly long list of things sorted and I hope to have it all ready in 6 weeks (best laid plans and all that

)

And Jon if you ever want a job selling diamonds you come and see me
I've bought houses with less bargaining !!!
Only joking I wouldn't hesitate to buy from you again but I doubt it'll be any time soon as your driving that hairdressers car now

I know it's the done thing to post up pics but if anyone wants to see the car in 6 weeks time now you can skip to Andyk's albums to have a look (wishful thinking)

Thanks again Jon and good luck with the new car

Diamondgeezer · 27-06-2015, 10:42 AM

Oh yeah I almost forgot
I know people like to know how much people pay for there csl
So for the purpose of any future sale I paid £60,000 for a 74k mile car needing work

Welcome Diamondgeezer

Good to read you've left the car in the hands of the jedi master.

Mine's been @ Bart's for 5 weeks now receiving some TLC from Gareth.

It'll be ready on the 4th July!!!! Not long now...it's been like a bereavement having a space in the garage for so long.
