Default Spring Break...Spring Fever

These past two days have been just about perfect here in Texas (not trying to rub it in to those stuck in the snow) and I decided to take a few pics and a ride to Galveston today....and then a nap!

2001 A4 vert.....bone stock except for an updated Kenwood radio, some new red in the interior, some logo painting under the hood and a trunk partition.....and an absolute blast to drive. I retired a few years ago and finally fulfilled a long overdue dream of owning one of these. Glad I did!

With info I found on the forum and some member help help I've done several small maintenance and repair projects and learned a lot about these fine cars. I also pulled the 12 disc CD changer out and will likely be offering it for sale soon.

Oh yeah.....My dog has claimed the car and told me to get rid of my Harley.....so the bike is for sale.


So.... Here are some pics. There are others similar but this one is mine!
Enjoy....and thanks for all the help!
Craig.....

Has to be nice to be able to get the car out and drive it. Still waiting for our streets to get cleaned off from all the salt/sand that was spread down over the winter. Good looking car you've got.

Thanks! I drive it daily most of the year. My youngest son lives in Boston though and reminds me frequently about the cold.
