    Winter wheels

    Just ordered a set of Hankook I-cepts for the wife’s S3, was going to order the Continental TS 830 but price difference was £200 and the Hankooks came 2nd in the Evo winter tyre test to the Continentals so they’ll do fine. Article below for those who are interested...

    Winter wheels

    Very true, and as you say it only works completely if everyone either uses or doesn’t. A strange thing regarding your insurance is you should tell your insurance company if you’re changing wheels over to winters and not just swapping tyres.

    Winter wheels

    Why would I be offended, I don’t know you and don’t care if you use winter tyres. Winter tyres allow a car to stop quicker in the snow/ice, sometimes you can’t compensate for what you can’t see (Black ice) or predict and it is for that reason I like to use them. Safe driving :thumbs up:

    Winter wheels

    So you’ve been driving for roughy 30 years and never used winter tyres, however you seem to be an authority on winter tyres and their use in the UK. Anyone can drive in the snow with summer tyres, but personally I’d rather have the option of winters so that when another road user (possibly like...

    Who's going to trade up to the RS3?

    Interested to know who is going to move to the new RS3 when it comes out, and if you think the jump in performance is worth the depreciation/uplift cost from your existing S3?

    Audi S3 Black edition 2017 - missing parking sensors

    Deliberately left them out as they only share limited platforms with the ones I listed, Q5-Macan, Touareg-Q7-Cayenne and R8-Huracan, think that's it? PS don't forget Porsche and Bentley :smirk:

    Audi S3 Black edition 2017 - missing parking sensors

    Who compared the Golf R to a Skoda? My comment was based on VW compared to Skoda as a brand. As you said you chose the more premium car. VW Group pecking order of Skoda, Seat, VW, Audi will may share some of the same switch gear, engines, transmissions etc but there will be a distinct...

    Audi S3 Black edition 2017 - missing parking sensors

    You're paying for a better quality car, it's the equivalent of buying Skoda then buying a VW and complaining that your skoda had more standard options!

    Facelift The S3 is Rapid...

    Having had an A45 I can confirm they are rapid off the line by the once rolling there wouldn't be a massive difference between the S3. I've driven the new TTRS and it is rapid, however it'd get eaten by the RS6 Performance above 60. I more surprised by the TTRS than the V10 Plus. I guess I knew...

    Sepang v Nogaro Black Pack (or why I have ordered a Floret Silver S3 saloon)

    That's Nogaro, must have been a special order. Not a fan myself as the inlaws have a Nogaro RS4 and Sepang is way nicer

    This is why I run a set of Road legal track tyres with good water displacement to get me to and from track and a spare set of dry weather track only tyres.

    Best tire and wheel size for the track?

    True but he wants a track tyre. I would also say Yoko AD08R are good and cheaper but I'd say for ultimate road legal grip the Toyo 888R If however they don't need to be Road legal look at the likes od DMACKs etc

    Best tire and wheel size for the track?
