As per my final post in the Saudi thread, here is the continuation of the story.
A stroke of luck, really. nicjasno and Tim already knew about my long standing desire to own an A5 coup? and while the Saudi was still being repaired, I was sent a car listing for one in Maribor by nicjasno. It was providence. Saudi was giving me all the signals our journey had come to an end and here was the car I've always wanted to have, wanting to be had. A 2007 in Deep Sea Blue with a 3.0 V6 TDI engine, quattro, bixenons and manual gearbox.
The next few days went by like a blur, but within a week I had arranged for a loan with the bank and we picked it up on 8th September. First stop was at a detailer for a thorough clean on the inside and a polish on the outside and then on the 13th I made the journey to Maribor by train for the last time.
Of course we did a small photoshoot in an abandoned industrial estate (as you do).
^click for a surprise
And lastly, proof pic:
It does still need a bit of TLC, which it will receive over the course of the year, but as it stands, I'm grinning like an idiot every time I sit behind the wheel.
