    Best thing about getting your car serviced.

    Is that when you get your car back at the end of the day it feels awesome This is due to the fact that you have just been driving around for the day in the cheapest courtesy car they can give you, you know what I mean 1.0 Corsa and so on

    But today when I took my car in for a service I got a 04 plate A4 1.9TDI with less than a 1000 miles on the clock, it even had a full tank, and it's a great car. I just don't wanna give it back So because of this I'm not looking forward to picking my car up at the end of the day now

    Living and dying laughing and crying
    Once you have seen it you will never be the same
    Life in the fast lane is just how it seems
    Hard and it is heavy dirty and mean

    I don't generally bother with Courtesy cars, but i tell you what after my 2nd year service on my Skoda Octavia recently, with a full break fluid change included OMG those breaks felt awesome.

    hehe, know what you mean, whenever my 306 was in, I would get a part exchange car they had sitting about, a ford escort lx, a peugeot 406 diesel jobby, but I did get a brand new honda logo once, nice inside, but felt extremely average. It all certainly made me appreciate my car alot more

    I want to keep an Audi service history on it for when I sell it next year. The extra couple of hundred it will have cost to get it serviced at the main dealer will soon be reaped back.

    I own a PC that changes regularly, so I don't bother putting anything in here...
