My latest purchase....
A 13 year old Audi A4 2.6 Avant. Manual, in silver, tax and tested for the year with full VW/Audi service history, ice cold climate control and typical German build quality. Bargain I think at £800! :D
The Mrs couldn't understand why I bought it when we already got two perfectly good cars (06 Honda Civic i-CDTI, 07 Citroen C4) but as I explained both of them are good hatchbacks but this will be ideal for my trips to B&Q and the local tip! Plus I'm a sucker for a VAG V6! :drool:
Pictures are from the seller so not the best, will take more soon.

Two nights at the America Best Value Inn in Mackinaw City. Only $55 per night! Excellent deal right there and it's got great ratings among fellow travellers.

And one night at the Days Inn in Traverse City, originally $175 per night and I snagged it for $100.

So Kari and I's trip is only at $210 for lodging which is excellent considering we are going at peak tourist season to some of the busiest places in Michigan.

Gonna ride my bicycle to work this month (at least) so I got a pair of Geax Tattoo tyres for my MTB. The bike in the pic is not mine.

I really hope that was a typo and the seller wasn't tricking you into selling you an A6 when its an A4.

Awesome buy though - been looking at the avants round here for a car. They are priced pretty well and I love the design, even today.

👍

Currently sitting at 112,000 so way below the average for its age. Finished checking all the paperwork that came with it and every MOT the car has ever had is present, pretty rare for a used car nowadays. Been running around in it today and so far very, very pleased with it. Almost seems a shame to buy it just for doing some donkey work with! Going to treat it to a full service at the weekend, doesn't really need it but won't do any harm and been years since I've had the chance to work on a car! :cool:

Samsung GT-S5620 Monte

Not a bad phone at all for the price I paid :) (£72)

Plus, it has GT in it's name :sly:

No flash on the camera though :(
 
I got a Samsung Galaxy a few weeks ago - it's a great phone, and I am very happy with it, esp. given the price of my contract, which is next to nothing. BUT, I didn't think it possible to get a worse battery lifetime than my old Nokia... but somehow, the Samsung Galaxy manages it. I reckon the problem is that the battery life indicator is woefully optimistic. Use the phone for anything other than decoration, and the battery starts to disappear fast. Unfortunately, it has let me down very badly on three occasions already - twice it has switched off during the night and I've slept in/been late for work as a direct result. Both times, the battery indicator was still 50% full. And the other night, my battery went dead, resulting in me having to head back to Glasgow in the wee hours, when I was subsequently robbed of my iPod.

I'm on the verge of contacting my phone provider and requesting a new phone - it would be a great shame, though, since it is really good - but I heartily recommend investing in atleast one spare charger, because if that phone is anything like mine, you're going to need to take it everywhere.

And welcome to the audi family


Here´s my purchase of today:

Without the seat gonna mount my sabelt full shell
Eager to try it out and look at the quality
impulsive buy, saw the ad today here on the site.(Clicked at least 10 on it so there you go Jordan ;) ) And it hasn´t the design flaw from the wheelstand : a bar between the legs. I´m already a dude!!
 
twice it has switched off during the night and I've slept in/been late for work as a direct result.
When my phone's battery dries out the phone switches off, but there's enough juice in it to turn itself on again at the time the alarm clock is set to. Then it turns off again. I thought this was standard for all phones.
 
^This.
Have you got "Auto Power" turned on on the alarm page?
I'm guessing it's the same for all Samsungs.
 
Pretty much this exact thing...
Silver, premium package, 5 door hatch, 2010 model. :P

Wow, that really sucks :/

I think it runs on the same OS and has a similar size screen (albeit lower resolution, than the Galaxy). I'm also fairly sure mine has a slightly smaller battery capacity. But it has lower spec hardware which I presume is less power hungry considering it's just as new and most likely on the same nm production.

My old phone used to run for over a week with full use. But, this one has enough memory to store music, and I take it everywhere. I have a feeling the battery life is going to be woeful... :lol: But I kind of expected this just from the size of the screen. Good tip with the charger 👍
