First time a total stranger has said anything apart the car salesman on handover day..... But hey they'll tell you anything... Lol....

Category.... Lol l mean l purchased a colour l hadn't seen before.... Etc etc.... And this wee compliment has made me day really...... As for the car l love it, it's done 700 miles in the last 7 weeks 1200 in total.... It just a occasion every time l open the door and hop in the drivers seat......

Nice when it happens, was parked next to a 3 series estate the other day in local town car park and a guy was just getting his nipper out the car seat and he looked up while I waited for him to finish, glanced at my car and just said "sweet" and as I pulled out I noticed him look over his shoulder as he was strapping the nipper in the buggy....thought about shouting get yer lad to put one on his xmas list, but decided against it

i got a little head nod off a young lad in the back of a car yesterday when we were stopped at traffic lights, and got the big thumbs up from a fella in a black S3 8L....will have to get the clip off my dashcams....it spat flames when he went past me
i guess people turning their heads at the constant DSG farting and downshift popping doesnt count :whistle2:

colour really is the most important option on a car....

Flying Scotsman · Nov 27, 2017

Nice to hear you got a nod of approval @jassyo06 . It does make your day and I have only got that nod a few times over 10 months, so do not feel lonely.
On the idiots who show animosity, goading etc. I have noticed they show up when you have a car with a brighter hue and medium to light blues fall into that category, along with red, green and yellow. I just ignore them and they are mostly lads with a lot of pimples, in cars with appendages growing all over them and loud bad sounding, cheap exhausts. Plus BMW drivers with the same skin condition as already stated and who got their licenses in a box of rice krispies.
Your colour choice is still a stunner in my humble opinion and yes you are young at heart. I also must admit I love coming out of a shopping centre where the Ara Blue beauty is sitting in a lonely parking stall and then I look at a sea of white, silver, grey and black cars/suvs and say to myself, "you made a good choice Dougie"

AudiNutta · Nov 28, 2017

The appreciation in the RS3 is odd, I never had any in the Grey S3 but I’ve driven the RS3 today through Hereford and everybody was looking and drooling. Even pootling along I have seen pensioners stop and turn around, the look of approval is nice.

The best one that led to a smile was two blokes in a Vauxhall VX220 that followed me into a tunnel and passed me with a huge grin and thumbs up, that was great.

I went to pick a parcel up today, apparently my Mrs’ said the guy who brought it out saw me unlock the car and was pretty much swinging on the door in anticipation to come out but he clocked her in the car and went back in. I’m talking about day 2 now, this car is going to get some attention I just hope none of it bad.

DW81 · Nov 28, 2017

I get everything from asking me to rev it at a red light to goading me into abit of racing normally Bm drivers

, the weirdest one was a guy asking me how much I paid for it at another red light, got to stop using roads with traffic lights

Not just me then that thinks the vast majority of Nissan Juke drivers are not the full ticket then, had more than my fair share of Juke' drivers pull out of side turnings or cut me up

josul · Nov 28, 2017

I have received similar comments; its a good feeling although one time....

On returning to the car from a supermarket once I seen someone looking at mine. I was parked at the other side of the car park from the entrance so clocked him from a distance. This guy had parked next to me and was checking out the front and up the side. My heart sank as I thought he had hit it, when I got close I asked if there was a problem. He said no not at all and was very complimentary. I still had to give it the once over to check for damage though!

My first (and possibly last other than family etc) came from a Morrisons (other supermarkets are available) delivery driver. This cool type dude came to the door whilst laden with my fruit n veg and asked if was a special order colour...bespoke was his term...it felt good....but he then proceeded to ask (and assume) about all the extras it must have come with...by my 5th "er no" I had gone from elated to deflated..lol...the pano was a grand I kept repeating lol....he then spent 10 minutes telling me of all the supercars he knows of....mainly customers....even had some pics on his phone!!!....oddly he knew every extra and its worth...the car's worth almost to the penny (panny) but still thought that Floret was an exclusive colour..........never did see him again......thankfully

Nice job. It feels good when you get nice feedback on your car. I've had a few compliments, even from BMW owners would you believe it.

I also went up to a guy on the way to Goodwood this year and complimented him on his Nardo ABT upgraded S3 with the numberplate 'CU5 1 CAN'.

P.S. Paragraphs can also be used as well as dots!

AudiNutta · Nov 28, 2017

I had a good one this morning on Day 3.

Pulled up at Sainsbury’s Petrol station for a drink (don’t worry, it only ever gets V-Power).. I saw a guy walking back to his van staring. As I got out he dropped his window “that’s a ****** nice car mate”.. yeah it is isn’t it?.. thanks! “What Engine is under there”, “What Power does it have?” “How much did it cost?” Astounded by all the figures. He was itching to get out, he opened his door and said I promise I won’t sit in or anything but can I have a look please. He was nosing all around inside and out, so I started it up and gave it a few blips.. he was laughing.

Put a smile on my face before work this morning, but it was borderline enough to make me nervous. More I think about it the sillier it was, didn’t see if he had anyone in the van with him.. I had the keys loosely in my hand with the car open and then running.

I get a lot of looks with mine. Viper green isn't very common I'm led to believe. Get a lot of sideways looks as cars pass. My 8P RS3 got a lot of attention too. Just wary of the wrong attention for undesirables

Bitzieee · Nov 29, 2017

I think you've pretty much all made good choices on colours, mines Daytona Grey, and I love it! Been my favourite colour for a long time. But Part of me says, should have gone for an exclusive, or one of the blues because I love them all.

I've pretty much been driving in economy for the past month or so now the weather has changed and I'm quite happy halfing my fuel consumption for the time being therefore I've managed to slip a bit under the radar. But Countless times I do see people rushing up from behind to try and get past me which I never had even in my Polo GTI really. Unfortunately I'm immature so I just pop the foot down and dust them. I've only ever been beaten by two cars, an RS6 and GTR coming back from a car show. I think we all know what happened there down the M58 back from Liverpool, they got to 70MPH quicker than I did.

Made a lads ears ring when I downshifted past him in town, bumped into him a few weeks later and he complimented my car and took a few pics.

Had quite a few negative comments which I probably enjoy more than the positives. Someone walking in the road with his arms out shouting stuff at me.
Couple weeks ago I went under a bridge in a one way system and was greeted by a biker in pitch black with no lights, lucky I didn't hit him, downshifted and it cracked out the back. He turned around and started shouting abuse at me. He didn't look impressed when the back slipped out next to him coming out of the junction

Umm i’m not a big fan of the over 70 speeds (never been over 70 ofcourse). It’s all about the sound for me in cars that’s what i love the most really.

Got smoked by a gtr and rs6 last weekend and my god they sounded absolutely amazing. Want want want now

Stunning, actually followed one of these into Stirling yesterday exactly the same colours. Always preferred the M3 shape myself, but tailing this one had me drooling

Good news for you boy on the job front too!
Don’t know if the Douglas Park takeover went down well with the ex Menzies staff, a lot of the long serving staff have moved on now.

Rs3 is a bit quicker but the fl handles way way better, rides far better in dynamic and cornering is astronomically better and sounds far far far far better. The latter is the most disappointing with the s3 as it sounds lame. However, under every day normal driving conditions the s3 is miles more than you ever need.

Actually even a 150 bhp a3 is more than enough as there is too much traffic and idiots in the road. I think people who don't indicate should instantly lose their licence, morons.

Got my REAL first compliment.....
