On the road again...with my beloved old Audi 80

Oldie but goldie

Unfortunately I didn't had to much time to write about my beloved old Audi 80. But this doesn't mean I don't have this car... it is still working, getting older and older day by day and from time to time things get broken... but this can happen with a brand new Audi too... so I am not even nervous when once in a while something stops working on this car.

A few weeks ago we needed to change all the wheels, because one of them was so hardly damaged that it was not possible to fix it. We had a brand new set of tires in the garrage, so we changed all the 4. Now the car looks even prettier, because the tire holders? (have no idea how they are called, those metal things that the tires gets on...) are painted silver, not black as they was.

This weekend I drove 800 kilometers without big issues, where the road was very good it went with 140 km/hours... it is a good thing from a 22 year old car... Unfortunately when we arrived we noticed a small issue with the starting up kit... the car didn't wanted to start. My dad was there to help me out, and they managed to fix it until we come home and change the damaged piece. Now the Audi 80 starts with the key and we need to press a big ugly green button... but other than that it still works great. I am curious to see how much this piece will cost, and especially where I will find one original to replace it.

A weekend in the garden

This weekend was not so exciting than the one before that, but we managed to make one pretty photo with the Audi 80 sitting in the garden :) And as you can see from the photo, this time the car has a naughty "face" like it was hiding behind the leafs.

On the road again

Saturday at 8 o'clock we started our 3 day trip to the mountains with our beloved Audi 80. Since this is an old car, and we don't have the slightest idea to fix it if it's broken it was the beginning of an adventure. After getting back from our almost 300 km road I am very happy and pleased to see that there was no problem with the car. Except from the accumulated dust from the bad roads nothing bad happened.

Here are some photos:

My favorite car - Audi 80 what else?

Audi 80 from 1985 is my favorite car. I am still driving it and hopefully will drive it for a few years more. Soon I will post some photos about my car. Don't know what it is so special about this car but I simply fallen in love when I first saw it. This time didn't belonged to me, it was a friends car, and I immediately realized that I would like to have one exactly like that. I was lucky, 2 years later I bought the car from my friend. I own it for 2 years now, and every time I go to a ride I feel excited. This is something that only true Audi 80 fans can feel.
