Hi all.
Apologies for the slightly misleading title as my S1 does not exist yet. I do like a good owner thread though and though I'd start this one from the beginning, having placed my S1 order on 4th November with Tyneside Audi.
As an introduction, I am an engineer in the oil and gas sector and spending most of my time overseas. Home is Whitley Bay in the North East. Until recently my toy cars were a 1994 Eunos with many mods and a less modded Mk5 R32:
Unfortunately in September the Golf came to an abrupt and squashed end when the car second in front of me braked suddenly to turn right on an A-road. I was already keen to get into an S1, this just accelerated the process by about 6 months!
After a predictably fun test drive, I ordered a 3-door, white with black roof, both 'packs' and a few choice options. It is due in Feb '17.
I intend to enjoy the car as standard for next year then gradually add the typical mods - using the excellent source of info and advice on this forum. I certainly hope to meet-up with other S1 owners in the North East or further afield.
I've got the same username on Pistonheads too:

Anyway, more content to follow when the S1 actually arrives
