    The Adventure Q

    Well the Old A3 is finally moving on to its new owner...

    And somehow we ended up with twins.



    Melissa picked up a 2018 Technick S-Line with all the goodies and I took over our 2013 S-Line.

    I am already nice and familiar with the Q (Thanks Danny for checking it out for us and Colin for inspecting it. It's been perfect thus far)





    Mmm Flat bottom Goodness.



    Picked up the summer wheels already from RPI for a steal.
    Rotiform KPS 20x9.5 and will be running 275/40's

    Swung into Clear Choice for more euro



    Yellow is euro right? lol



    And that is as far as I have gotten after 3 days of (me) owning it.

    Will be ordering KW HAS after our wedding. Otherplans include but are not limited to 034 Chassis stuff, new grill and getting rid of the chrome up front, tune, minor engine stuff aka free up some airflow for the turbo (inlet pipe, turbo muffle dealio, downpipe)

    And of course more road trips!!

    Enjoi.

      Thank's! It's been a nice comfy drive for sure, but needs to be crisper haha. The lowering and 034 rear sway to start will be a big improvement for that. Just gotta get this wedding out of the way!

              Thanks! Finn has been awesome thus far, year and a half old now.

              And well yeah typically, but really the old Q is just out of warranty. So perfect time for drop, tune goodies etc! haha

              Thanks! I am very excited for it, feels good to have a fresh start after 6 years.

              A3 goes to its new owner today. Finished detailing the inside, but gotta wash the outside after work still.



              And fronts of the two Q's on the day we brought it home. Man alive it has some crazy tech now.... like fully automated stop and go driving up to 50kmh... blew me away, will have to try it out come summer.

                    Wait I thought that was Don. Now I am confused.

                    But thanks! This economy is blowing me away... 380km to half a tank, I'd be getting ready to fill up the A3 haha.

                          Well mustered a few road trips with the new Q - hit up the going to the sun road. Not much has happened with my Q... got my wheels on, started to black out the chrome with gloss vinyl wrap and finally installed all the interior LEDs.

                          Road trip pics!

                          Hit a good milestone and man the new Q gets good mileage even with 2 bikes on the roof!

                            And some updated photos of my Q seeing as I finally detailed it and gave it a fully clay bar and wax.

                            And yes... I still need to lower it. Bought a new camera lens instead. And well Weddings are expensive haha...
