Wonders will never cease. For those who have been following the tale of the beloved Audi and the sale thereof, I just received an email from Les, the guy who bought it - and I quote - well, cut n paste:

Hello Mate.
It actually did the whole distance :)
I only had problems with the transmission. It didn't want to change gears sometimes. I am amazed it didn't brake down. Now I hope I'll manage to sell it with a bit of profit :) Take care.
Regards
Les

In my heart, I knew she would make it. Not sure about that 'transmission' bit though. She'd only ever been in either Drive or Reverse for the last six years, it was probably a bit of a shock to the system if he put it in anything else. Funny the things that can make your day huh.

That haircut thing happened today as well. It may take a while for what's left of said hair to get over the shock but I think it will be OK. It's not like some Navy Seals type of thing going on or anything, but it is markedly shorter than previous. When we've got over the shock and it does what it's told, I may even post a picture.

Brave.
