- Hello,
My new car is revealed in this video. I will always be a Rover man, but this is a total departure, and I am very happy I swapped.

I only watch your videos because of you and your entertaining character.
I honestly couldn’t give two hoots what brand of car you’re messing about with as long as you’re doing it in your own inimitable style.
Hope the new car looks after you and your flock well, keep the great content coming 😊
The headlining was OK on the Audi. But then they heard you were buying it they made it sag so that you felt more at home.😂
Your car, your choice. Ignore those few who like to complain.
To be honest, I've thought that branching out to some other manufacturers would probably make a lot of financial sense for you.
You could still focus on MG Rover, whilst also buying and selling others to keep a more steady income.
I would be better off buying other cars for sales purposes, that's for sure
I would like to see a review of the Audi. I think most of us here would love a Rover that we could use every day, but that's not always practical. So good choice. Although a diesel Accord estate would be cooler.
I did review one of these with nearly 380k on it, and that was the reason I wanted to drive it.
My dad had a diesel accord estate 2.2 I wasn’t fond of how it looked but it moved like hell and had cool add on like the heated seats etc
I honestly don’t think you should limit your channel to just one manufacturer. You could make the channel more about buying, flipping and selling old motors that deserve a new lease of life. Rovers will always be the foundation of the channel, nothing will take that away 👍🏻
Lovely car paul a good car to keep your family safe excellent swap👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you, Jimmy ☺️
Do what you want with your channel Paul. Personally I'm not the biggest MG Rover fan (had a bad experience with a TF) but I don't watch your stuff for the Rovers, I watch because it's entertaining
That's what I love to hear 😊
Very much the case with the Passat too. I find myself just wanting to use it because it's comfortable and makes sense. 👍 it just gets you there. You just park it and forget about it. I think the earlier Audis like this are a bit firmer and more interesting. Sometimes you don't even feel you've driven in the Passat with the DSG box.
Fair play for bringing new to the channel nice family car a simple remap would make it a lot easier to drive with loads more power keep up the good work captain mustard
Like with Nigel's 42, just change the tailgate A to a P and you can keep the Rover theme going with your hybrid Germ-Brit Audi P6 😁
The joy of setting off on a journey in the knowledge you'll be coming home without self inflicted incident.
😆
Great stuff, glad you've got a family car that you like. I'm still glad that my family car is a Cowley 75 KV6 though. Funny, I remember the journey into Doncaster from my parents house, just a 2 mile journey and we passed three BL dealerships: Edwards Motors, Kennings and Jackson's. We also passed a Ford dealership Ringways, Citroen - Roodhouses and Audi - Hayseldens. Out of all those, Audi were probably the least popular back then! My Dad had a mk 1 Toyota Celica ST 1600 Festooned with all the dashboard dials and goodies a 1970s man could hope for, it was a lovely car! So I'm not going to judge you for your choice. Vive le difference!
I can't see what the problem is the Audi looks great and does the sole purpose of a solid family car in a good spec and comfort.
Good solid car an Audi and personally I quite like that era of Audi. You don't need to explain or apologise for your choice when you have a family and kids you've got to consider safety and practicality. Yes your channel is mostly about Rover and as someone who also loves Rover that's what I originally came to your channel for but I think most sensible people would admit as you did that Rover is not without it's faults and besides most petrol heads like more than just one brand of cars so don't be ashamed to have something different or show something different on your channel it's your channel your choice and if some don't like it well that sounds like their problem.
Thank you. When I reviewed a 380k version of this car I really respected its urge to survive.
Your channel is a car channel so I say feature whatever car you want. I own a Vauxhall Vectra 1.9CDTI 150. It is the same year as your Audi and is a comfortable reliable workhorse of a car. It may seem like a boring car but its dependable.
Nowt wrong with keeping loved ones safe and comfortable. The A6 with the 1.9 is a damn good car. Set the cruise to 75 and chill.
Well done. At our age we need a well sorted car. I think a well sorted 75 is better, but you could use the Audi as content to find out.
Looks like a nice car. You do need a proper every day car, and the Rovers can be more fun because you're not relying on them as a daily driver.
That's an excellent point that I forgot to make.
Nice motor, that. If I didn't have a V70, I'd be quite happy with an A6.
Thank you
Lovely car. I've had many Audi's, mainly diesels, and they have never let me down. Audi's of this era came with all the toys and leather as standard, that's what made them so appealing.
Whilst the Rover may be more fun, these were designed to eat miles with a minimum of fuss.
You don’t need to worry about what car you have for your family good choice of car
I'm very happy for your new car! It's a great car, reliable and safe transportation. I think that now and then should appear on the channel...
I think you're right, actually 🤔
Fantastic choice any German Japanese cars of the 80s 90s very early naughties were the cream of the crop built like tanks reliable more rust resistant just good all round
Yes there was a few not so good but in the main very good
Could be a lucrative move perhaps into doing all types of cars inc rovers but not solely and doing spannering on them unless it's not your main job
Good luck with the new car and hope we see it now and then vorspren derk technic you get the drift
Thank you very much 😊
Feature it captain, a car is still a car. Today there really isnt any bad cars made. Remember there are a lot of diverse subscribers of your channel, who will own many different makes than Rover.
If you’ve got sticky residue on your buttons on the dash try some Dunlop 65 guitar fret cleaner bit of elbow grease and it should remove the sticky residue
You won't go wrong with a C5 A6 PD Avant. As you say, not exciting but for a daily the key advantage is ongoing parts support and easy diagnostics.
Not exciting is part of the appeal at the moment. I feel very content driving this car
You made a solid choice. Yes, they may lack the character of a Rover or even a V70 with its styling, but Audis are popular for a reason. They just do the job well and feel like they'll go on doing it for a long time. My father got his A4 Avant TDi brand new in 2006 as a company car, bought it from the company in 2009 when he retired and it had done around 90k, and it's now on 220k with the original clutch and gearbox, despite having towed a caravan all its life.
It feels like the most sensible car choice I have ever made. Thank you
I must echo other peoples sentiments here Mustard. We watch your channel for you and your interactions with others (Boaty, Tom, Allegro Man, Simon etc) If it was Rovers, BMW's, SAAB's, whatever, people would still watch your channel because of you and your personality. You have reviewed cars that are duller than pond water (and I used to own an astra J) yet somehow, you made those videos entertaining and I took interest in a car I wouldn't look twice at. You do you Captain!!!!!
Well done, would have loved it if you had a volvo. Ive always been a rover man, 9 sd1s, 4 800s, 2 p6. I have a volvo 850 t5 auto estate, and i love it! I will get another rover, but the prices are going nuts!
I have plenty here going cheap 😆
@@ProjectNigel what and how many rovers do you have?I see a few on your channel.
Enjoy with you’re family kept safe, they are a very nice smooth drive 🤓👍🏻
I am definitely enjoying it 🙂
Ahhh good choice. The 1.9tdi in these will go on forever and goes well enough, Good looking 'family' car.
Harsh ride on an Audi though.
It has enough go, it doesn't need more.
Hi Paul, great looking car that Audi, I'd quite happily watch videos of it, it's you we watch,your content and humour not that's it's just Rovers, there is room for all makes in our world.
This makes perfect sense. I've got my TF, and I've got a Kia Proceed estate. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a MG ZTT or something would be more fun, but the Kia is just quiet, comfortable and has lots of space
I have never driven a Kia
@@ProjectNigel They're practical, not exciting but just sensibly designed. Much like the Audi from the sounds of it
Absolutely with you Paul of coarse you can like other cars and the Audi is a great car. Unfortunately we are in the Sunset of Rovers non have been made since 2005 and the older Rovers will out last the ones from the 90s. A few will hang on because of enthusiast. I miss my ZS but owning another one is highly unlikely as rarity has pushed the price beyond me. Audi is a good choice family car.
Thank you very much
I have three Rovers (25/45/75) and a Mini. They are all wonderful in their own way. I also, as you know, have a VW Polo GTi Plus. It is a fantastic car and in many ways it matches, or almost matches, all of the various individual driving characteristics of all the other four cars. It is a great all-rounder and what it lacks by way of charm and character, it makes up for with outright performance and reliability.
In short, you’ve done the right thing for the right reason- so as a fellow VAG driver, I say “Audi Pardner” Yee-Haw!
Audi, Pardner! 😆
Nice car , I’ve got a 3 series BMW and a Z4 along with the ZS and ZR, they are all great cars
I presumed the 330 had been sold
OOH new Audi buddy. Hurrah!
A 1.9 diesel Audi A6 Avant is a sensible choice as a family car so sod the naysayers who complain that "it isn't in keeping with the ethos of the channel" and enjoy it for what it is. I am a channel member because of you and your unhealthy but admirable love for Rovers so keep up the good work, buy more stuff and enjoy yourself.😎
Thank you, that means a lot ☺️
@@ProjectNigel You are very welcome. Just remember though, that now you are an Audi driver those orange blinky things on the front and back of your car are indicators and they are normally used to let people know what direction you are taking 🤣
Can't blame you the A6 estate is a good solid choice.
Yes it's properly grown up
Good on ya Paul, you do what's best for you and your family. Just ignore any inappropriate comments if you get them.
I bought one to tow the caravan.
The caravan has gone now but I'm keeping the A6, love it 👍
I find it funny how the video is clearly about you not wanting to ruin the path you set out for your videos, however I regularly check the comments and this video has clearly had a lot of feedback, all positive from the looks of it. Why financially ruin yourself and your livelihood trying to please the small percentage of British enthusiasts when in reality we all watch for you!
Yes it might upset a handful if you ventured further afield.. but the reality of it is, it doesn’t matter. If buying a German or French car and making an episode or two on them paves the way to save another Rover. I’m all for it 👌🏻
I like it, in fact I like it so much I'd subscribe twice if I could...
😁
Love an A6 diesel Paul. Looking forward to hearing more about your adventures with it.
Im no audi fan ! But the right combination and age they are good family cars ! The one you've bought id say was the last of the good audis !
Exactly how I feel
Good choice, Paul
Sometimes you have to move away from a marque you love, if they don't have a car that suits your needs better and better for your family, then you have to go for it.
You have to get what's good for your girls
It wouldn't be yours if it didn't have a saggy headlining!
I like it and i understand it's purpose, just a shame you feel you can't feature it much or at all.
Well, I could, and probably with any road trips, it's going to end up on screen again.
Audi VW modern bmws mercs are all soullsess and bland. i ended up getting a W124 diesel for the family run around as at least it is , well just a nice place to be and just modern enough to have ABS and airbags. i understand your choice though as a family car the Audi gets the job done. very practiacal
This is the newest car I would want, everything after this model seems a bit faux-quality to me.
Bought a W124 300D myself! Owner I got it off had it for 20 years and fully rebuilt it! I did want a 75 estate but had too be auto for my broken leg! Couldn't find one local or at a sensible price if I had traveled! So I now love me Mercedes have also bought a 250D for £500 either as a fixer upper or spares donor as has a third of the miles and used too belong too a friend of mine who is gone now too so if I can save it and daily it I will! My 300D is over 300k miles and drives like new still old 250 just clocked 116k miles hope it can be saved as when me pal first got it was a mint car but that must be 17 years ago been parked for 6 years since last mot now! Mind my 300D had a four year lay up since rebuild and its been mint with quick once over!
@@micksroversmg558Nice!! I live in Murcia Spain and here there are many running around totally rust free. mine's a1993 300d got it about a year ago and it only needed a fan housing , a front wheel bearing a service and a buff up from Spanish sun, and like yours, drives like new, I really have warmed to it , fast it isn't but on the long open Spanish roads it puts a grin on my face. I still run a 1999 75 which I will never sell on, all my other cars get moved on pretty quickly.
Nice car Paul good choice for a family wagon
Thank you
i like it bud gota love an a6 estate
Yes they're great
Goodby Charles? You served Mustard well. Hello Audi the new family hauler.
Thank you, Andrew
Raises left hand "clop "😂
I think its a good car .
I know start another channel dedicated to Audi 😁.
Dissapointed it wasnt the p6 estoria with the disco engine .
Seriously im a tiny bit jealous.
Cars of this era, when for me,the sun shined out of Audis ,,,,,, hole .
I would be really interested to see how you get on with it , faults , repairs , good points and bad Paul , i think to not do videos on it would be a waste , you know plus the day to day running of it. just my opinion.
SImons video of coming to the yard , have you seen it ?.
You look v happy with it fair play. It’s got me thinking should I change my TF160 for an Audi TT? See what happens now you have done this😂!!
I have no issue with you car choice Mustard. If It is good for you and your family then that is all that matters.
Another saggy headlining ffs lol😂.
The stealth car 😂
😆😆😅
So wat if its not a rover its your tube channel so do wat you want but i did think Audi or bmw but i really didn't think you would have a Audi so you shocked me but why not you have a few rovers still so wat looks a nice A6 and a better swap so fair play to you 👍
The Audi A6 Avant is a big, safe and comfortable car. It’ll be an ideal family car for you.
If channel members and subscribers don’t like it that’s tough. This about transport for your and has nothing to do with the channel.
You review other brands of car besides Rover on the channel. Go ahead and feature the A6 occasionally on the channel, it’ll be interesting to see how you are getting along with the A6.
Yes, the car is huge in the back, which is one of the things that sold me on it.
Thank you
I actually heard the end of you saying “avant” and that looks like the interior of my a6 avant lol
Good for you 👍
Thank you
I loved the interior of Charles? but agree the Audi is the better family car 👍😎
The Rover is much more pleasing to the eye, but not the fingers.
YES YOU GOT A AUDI
Paul, I’ve never bothered getting serious with signing up to Google and creating an account, until I came across your videos.
I’m in the same situation in a way, really want a rover, but think a Toyota is200 auto (arthritis issues) reviewed by Lloyds consultant would be better.
So I’m buying one.
1st time I have attempted a comment hope it’s worked.😊
Do what you have to do brother. I like mgrover stuff, but like others have said....they have such a limited value it must be hard to make a buck off them. Sticking to principles can be expensive!
I tried to do up an mgf recently to sell. Cost me £400 to buy, £700 in total to get all the parts needed. Did all the labour myself...And sold it for
...£700. enjoyable for a hobbyist, but not lucrative!
Sticking to principles can be expensive. Sounds like it should be on a poster.
Thank you
👋
☺️
🎉🎉🎉😊
Audi C5 A6 estate fantastic motor it will start in all weathers and get you where you want to go the end.👍🤫🇩🇪🍄🤗
That's what I believe, too
Would people really deny themselves the enjoyment of your films just because you bought a car they may not approve of, it’s not like you can buy Rovers any more is it? If you’re so outraged by this car that you’re switching off in fury, never to return then please let me know why. I’m genuinely curious as to what motivates people do things I think are a bit odd, I like learning.
It's the kind of thing I get unsubscribers for.
@@ProjectNigelHopefully it won’t happen in this instance but if it does, hopefully we can get a little peep into the mind of someone who thinks this way. Sometimes I rather enjoy trying to work out why people are so damn weird. I like your Audi too. Does it have rusty wings? I used to have an A4 Cabriolet of this vintage that I liked very much and I thought it looked sensational but before it was brutally murdered by a man called Jacek and his big truck it was starting to go on the wings which let it down a bit.
There is a little bubbling around the edges. An unfortunate bit of design feature that seems like a weird idea.
At least it's got a saggy roof
Yep 😁
@@ProjectNigel Hubnut does OK, not being brand specific
Good point.
Never play to the naysayers, you'll upset somebody any way you cut it! Do what you want, be entertaining, and the audience will follow. Maybe you'll find a whole new crowd who don't like Rovers!
nice car bro😀😀
Well now,if you had acquired a Saab 9-5, then I would have got jealous of you then because I needed to sell my one regrettably. Although diesel and Saab did not go well together on that 2.2D engine . Anyway you don't need to hide it away like some secret mistress. By the way, would "Mrs Doyle" have filled that roll if she was diesel?
Feature it more, its your car and your youtube. Dont feel you have to explain it. Nice choice of car for family and daily use. The story of Rover is sad and im sure you see the evidence of poor decisions, poor workmanship and crucially poor management and ownership.
Yes, I got into Rover when their cars were made properly. It's sad, but there's no point in denying they went downhill
I worked at rover and put friday afternoon quality in to their cars every day 😂@ProjectNigel
Nice car 🚘 🚘
I think so, too
@@ProjectNigel thanks for reply.. 😁😁
I think you should involve it more into the channel, you’ll teach more people and have a wider audience base too
Nice car that A6 not like Audis of today these are when Audis were Audis and as you pointed out before in an A6 video they were of an era when they were the same as a Volvo to own except you had an Audi if you didn’t like camping that much😂😂
Exactly right, and well, I remembered there 😅
@@ProjectNigelprobably best quote from you there and also at same sentence of said video is when “You bought an Audi if you didn’t have a moustache”😂
I'm glad you get my humour. Thank you 😁
Is your Audi a Quattro or FWD? I used to have a VW Passat 1.9TDI 130bhp SE 4motion based on Audi's A4 with the Longitudinal Engine like your A6.
FWD
Not gonna find a better daily or family car than a pd 1.9 tdi , oil and filter every 6 to 8k and it will look after you well
I know they don't ask for much.
Oh dear
Is it a 1.9tdi?
Yes
Farewell Charles?
He's gone to a very good home.
@@ProjectNigel I'm very glad to hear it. By the way I don't think people should have been mean to you about the non rover. I find that very sad.
Good safe choice. Has this replaced the CRV?
I didn't have a CRV
@@ProjectNigel ahhh was that your wife’s?
Oh... no, that belongs to my mother 😆
@@ProjectNigel 😂😂
I am sure the bloke that ran Rover during it's last knockings drove a Merc, so surely you can Drive an A@$%
Alexander the great👌
That's the one!
What a lovely car A6 avant myself had the A4 Avant about 7 years ago love please do not let people put you down as you work hard we can see how much you love you family PS hope you have loads of family trips in it
Shame you didn’t do a half hour voiceover of the non-microphone bit in your Boaty voice….. we could have had his views and wisdom on Audi diesel estates….
That would have been funny 😁
I'm not being funny but life is to short to drive a rover just getting to your destination in rover with out braking down is achievement
The reason I love Rover is because of the exact opposite of that though. 😅
@@ProjectNigel fear play
Ano Paul main reason I have stuck with Rover is the fact that they have been forever reliable! Well apart from chasing power back in the day and popping a few cheap T16 Turbo motors! Full Vitesse or Ti was £200 too £400 at the time! So no big loss at the time! Them with my diesels just od seized fulcrum arm in gear box or od set of oil cooler pipes when they rot in me L series diesel they have been super reliable and bet I have done well over a million almost trouble free miles in rovers!
well i have a seicento a k11 micra and a fabia 3 but still would fill my life old rovers and skodas if i could
And why not? 🙂
@@ProjectNigel wish i could but i dont stop dreaming
The question is what was on your right nipple or under your T-shirt? Does it really matter what you drive so long it gets you from A to B safely ? No.. I hope it serves you well in the future.
Volvo .. that's all you need to know ditch that POS and get a Volvo
I do love Volvo, but is it actually any better than this?
I hope you don't turn into a typical audi owner...
Definitely not an A3 driver
Nowt up with your audi good family car is it the 3.0 dirty derv
No, it's a 1.9
Even better should do good on the heavy oil for milage
You weren't driving that Audi appropriately! Should've been on the outside lane at all times and absolutely no more than 2ft from the car in front! Sort yourself out man!
Too right completely unacceptable driving an Audi so sensibly
I can see why you did it, before you had to explain the practical reasons why. If you keep on looking after the Audi, it will last you forever.
Hey, I'm chuffed you bought a German car. I own 2, my kids also have one each and we wouldn't buy anything else. You talk about Rover's like they're something special when in realiity they are quite the opposite. They are a model that was barely acceptable when Maggie Thatcher owned one and everything since then was part of a slippery slope to the here and now. Family ALWAYS comes first. When I see you scratting around to raise a few quid that gets you by for another week I think - what a luxury, to play at making money, doing what you want rather than honest graft that maybe brings in a wage that counts. This may seem like harsh criticism but I enjoy your video's for your character. If you were just servicing regular cars for honest money this channel would work just as well, I'm sure. It may not quite pander to the handful of Rover enthusiastes that watch it through their rose tinted glasses however. I'm a local lad. I pass your gaff 2 or 3 times a day. It would be nice to see you move on and maybe even succeed at spanner swinging. You have a decent starting base and the tools to move forward in this game. I will stick with this channel but honestly think it could be so much more. I wish you luck in whatever you choose to do.
Thank you. I do love Rover, but they have stopped helping me recently. I used to do okay before I sort of specialised in them.
@@ProjectNigel I guess once you spesialise it is hard to pivot away from what you are known for. I have enjoyed all your car reviews, yes even the Rover ones. I'm sure this channel is heading places whatever you decide to do with it moving forward.
Thank you. Car reviews are really the way ahead for the channel
.there is no problem a Chinese chef eating pizza….because the Chinese chef needs to refine his cooking skills….on how to improve the Chinese dishes to be better than the pizza.
People need to learn and understand…how to make things better….and stop being stubborn.
Nice point
If you want the channel to grow and earn money then you need to feature different makes of cars. Also, maybe cut out the very stupid stuff and try being a little bit more professional and mature (bit more like this video). But its your channel do with it as you want. But just showing rovers will always hold you back. So either keep the few happy or keep the masses happy and grow the channel and enjoy the rewards that will come with that. Stop thinking of today, think of the future.
That is an excellent comment. The thing is though, I love the really surreal and unexpected stuff - that's what makes want to be here.
Featuring other cars more may be something I should actually do rather than worry about it. Thank you.
😐
😅
A useful estate.Yawn
Oh no.
Oh yes!
@@ProjectNigel was convinced ut was gonna be a lovely Volvo V70 D5 or preferably an 850 T-5.
That would have been my first choice, but it wasn't on offer.
I own 8 rover’s great cars but if I need to drive a fair distance I take the Saab 93 or Skoda superb.
Which is best?
The rovers of course Paul more character.
