Oh I don't know, defeats your purpose perhaps, but then my desire for general stealthiness means my purpose is probably slightly different.
I've always felt that the bits of the car you can't see from outside are more important than the fake tinsel of prestige and performance the manufacturers throw all over them to help the punter justifying spending twice as much. That's probably why I've been just as happy in a Mazda as a Mercedes.
The S3 at least has the underpinnings to justify the tinsel, but even so, most of it is the same tinsel you'll get on an S-line, which in turn is just one of a wide variety of cars out there adorned with superwide rubber band tyres, body kits, spoilers, "sports" suspension and barely enough power to move it all. It's as though they've forgotten it'd be more fun to have it the other way around. The Peugeot 205 and 106 Rallye editions are good examples. Small, light engine, steel rims, no wieght, huge fun, and will keep a supercar in check on a twisty lane. You've got to admit that a Q-car approach has a great deal of potential for having some real fun.
Personally I want a practical hatchback with a fire breathing engine that goes like a rocket, but doesn't shout "look at me!" From the rooftops like some narcissistic attention seeking teenager. If it can flatter my lack of ability and ham fisted efforts at the helm that'd be nice, and I'd consider it a definite bonus if it won't try to turf me ar5e first through a hedge at the first hint of drizzle. Add the ability to just be a comfortable, pleasant and cosseting place to sit when not being a helmsman, and a bit of space for the wife, dogs, bikes or other accoutrements of life that prevent me owning less practical metal, and I believe the S3 represents an almost perfect compromise. It's still a compromise, but a happy one. If only there was an option available to delete a couple of the spud launchers from the back though...
Oddly enough (returning to the subject at hand here), I do have a private plate. It was a present that I've had tucked in my desk for ages but I've never fitted it to anything. Perhaps I'll put on the S3!
Hmmm....interesting
Hmmm....interesting
Didn't know there was the ability to do that tbh (must investigate)....that would have been useful in this instance anyway....although I do like the banter that comes with the traditional threads though
Lol.....I change it as much as I change my motors
..............can't say I'd noticed mate............................
,so yep stick it on mate especially since your kids bought it , i have had mine since 2005 bought by my partner for my birthday and this is the 3rd car it's been on i even kept the Audi off road until i changed it over
WTF............plate snob. If you are that vain buy a proper private plate
If other people clock a 14 and think less of you than if it were a 16 what on earth has society come to? Most people with new cars seem to be financing them anyway so ironically the 14 plate owner might be the smarter one.
All said with a wink.
Years ago, Steve Parrish (70's GP motorcycle Jedi and MotoGP commentator) had this plate;Sorry, when it comes to private plates you aren't trying hard enough:
Bit illegal that Yin...looks good though apart from it being on Nerdo lol
......delay has been due to being double busy recently and also I've been debating on whether to change it or not ...lol...decided to keep it the now until the FL models settle down and the RS3 becomes available to order again
