As a newbie here, and someone who has owned and driven 'the same' 1992 Audi80E for almost 18 years (purchased in March 1998), I was wondering if anyone on here can match or better that record?
THE RULES:
1. I am looking specifically for long term Audi ownership AND daily usage, however, exceptions will be made for those that have owned say a classic/vintage mode of transport for say 20yrs or more, even if not used as a daily!
2. To save any confusion, please state your Audi vehicle model, time of ownership ‘from’ and ‘to’ dates, together with the number of years the vehicle has been used as a daily; if you own/use more than one particular Audi model, then please differentiate them by also stating the year of manufacture and/or colour.
3. In the same way that the DVLA do not consider the owning of the same Audi 3 times within a 10yr period, or 3 different makes of car within a 10yr period, as being one transaction, nor do I! Therefore, you are only required to provide details of the ‘longest time within any set period that you have owned/used an Audi’ please.
Thank-you!
FOOTNOTE:
As has been pointed out (thanks to
Tim C!, lol), from March 1998 to January 2015 is not almost 18yrs, but in fact almost 17yrs. So, to readdress this issue: this was a deliberate mistake as I’ve always added an extra year with the hope that my car will somehow see another year on the road, and with all of the restoration/repair work of late, it does feel like an extra year. As such, I am prepared to give members up-to one additional ‘magic year’ providing I am given good reason to, but please be aware that I hold no prisoners, so please do not take the preverbal!

Okay, let's get things started, how long have you ‘owned AND used your Audi/s’ please?
