is that your mansion?
Incorrect.
My Car is Stronic, so it can be in hold assist and still in Drive select not neutral or park. You dont really need neutral or park to be used at all when driving in traffic.
So when its selected D for drive, and the ebrake is on, you press the throttle and the car promptly sets of with great gusto and a little surprise for the driver. I think this is only a risk with the Stronic boxes and stupid drivers who forget its actually in gear.
I was trying to say the colours in photos this time of year often taken on average cameras dont really show off the real colour of the car.
Strangley I havnt seen a colour I dislike on it yet, and I have seen a few A3s about now. But obviously estoril is better than glacier, because thats what I bought. I like misano as that was on my last car, but I wanted a change of colour this time.

My S3 has been brought forward from week 4 to 51 (so should have been built this last week) .. and now the wait begins

Hi Pieter, I don't have my VIN yet, but I know that my car won't be on that ship as mine will come into Grimsby from previous experience. Cheers
Hi Pieterw, good to see another South African, im still on fence between the S3 and M135i, but should decide very soon!
Have you seen one in the flesh?
Let us know, and pictures off course :icon_thumright:24 hrs till I collect the beast.... Couldn't even sleep last night haha

Just trying to finalise my order.
Audi S3 sportback 2.0T (300ps) quattro
S-Tronic Transmission
Estoril Blue Crystal Effect Paint
18" '5-Twin-Spoke Star' Alloy Wheels
Fine Nappa Leather in Black (Silver Stitching)
LED Headlights
Technology Pack
Kind of not 100% on colour. Ive had a light blue audi a4, dark blue (lighter than estoril VW golf gti) so this would be the third in a row. considering monsoon grey or maybe white (solid) amalfi i think.
Waiting for the dealer to get back to me with build and delivery dates.
i hate waiting for things so this is really gonna suck!
haven't heard anything since friday from him so hoping to hear something monday.

Estoril looks fantastic at night under sodium lighting. Looks too blue in sunlight. A nice colour if you're a fan if blue. I'm not.
Dead right Mr Lecht I do love a nice blue!! Can't wait till the Estoril S3's on my drive!!
By the way did you ever hear back from Akropovic on the exhaust front?
Just cleaned my A1 Black Edition out in preparation for tomorrow! Handover booked for 9.30am tomorrow! I cannot wait! Think I may be sitting outside the dealership before they even open! Haha! Hopefully, they'll have a nice little xmas pressie to go with it 'Tis the season after all...
I'm so jealous it's making my teeth ache hope pickup all goes well!
Thanks Joe, I was having a look to find out what things I need to make sure its all done properly.
When are you expecting yours? Your spec looks good!
Not until April my wife is already sick of me talking about it and there's a long way to go lol
Oh hi everybody! I know it's been a week or so since I last posted but I'm planning on doing a decent review tomorrow. What with Christmas and working in retail I've been slightly busy the last few days but I shut down business on Friday and I'll have some time to contribute again from now on!
Go and look at a few Estoril Blue ones... Mrs was keen to try another Blue but even she didn't rate it that much... sticking with Phantom.
