Audi 80 - 80

I am now a big fan of an old car. I (somehow) now own an 1985 Audi-80 (called Audi-80-80, nicknamed "Papous" = "Granddad" in Greek) and have been surprised how everything still works!

Running around all over Greece in this car, I noticed how many - and I mean MANY, at least 20 or 25 year old - Audi 80s from the 80's are still around. I try to take a picture when I see one but, frankly, this happens more often than I have a camera or mobile phone ready. Many of these Audi 80's are in mint condition (unlike my "Papous")!

Below are some of these pictures:
