    Colours

    I ordered the 320D SE with some toys, only for our finance dude to tell me it was too much. Now looking at an A4 170 S-line too... Unfortunately the noise levels and handling are pretty hopeless next to the new 3 series. ALthough having said that, I haven't driven the new 170TDi. Basically you...

    Paddock pass for Donington MotoGP Friday???

    A mate of mine has just rung to say he can't make it, so if anyone wants to see Rossi in free practice, check out the paddock and enjoy hospitality at the expense of some Italians, let me know asap and I'll meet you at the gates Friday morning 10ish. Hope someone can make it - I'll check here...

    Bye Bye

    I have realised that I no longer belong here. There are some quality members (DavidR, JaminBen, Yak, MB, ScoTTy, Yaseen, Ess3, Eef, TDiLine, etc etc) with whom I have enjoyed a degree of banter, learned useful stuff about my car and argued with over various nonsense. However I have become...

    Road Race: 2.0FSI v 2.0TDI

    [ QUOTE ] The FSI has 148bhp, and 200NM at 3500 rpm, the TDI 138bhp, and 320NM between 1750 and 2500rpm. So, theoretically, the TDI should be ahead on the track, as long as you know how to drive the thing. If not (changing up 300-500 rpm too late or too early), then the FSI will take you...

    Video of a Lancia S4 on a hill-climb.

    Top link Andy! I took a (wealthier than me) mate to Walkers garage in Northallerton about 10 years hoping to persuade him to buy an Integrale. When the salesman (who stank of beer) took us for a test drive, we were both convinced we were about to die as he casually took a 40mph corner at...

    A3 3.2 vs Scooby

    A mate had an EvoII Delta Integrale, pearlescent white, push button start, stage 2 turbo etc. Blew 2 garret T3s but was easily the greatest car ever. Just magnificent. Have you seen the video on the "general" forum?

    Suggestions for driving to the Alps

    Once you're in the alps its hard to go wrong. Get to the ring via liege (avoid brussels) and head south into germany. Get on the autobahn through Mannheim and Freiburg. You can then either head straight south towards lucerne via the st gottard (misspelt?) pass, which is truly awesome, or get to...

    rubbish aircon

    thanks again miket. may I suggest you accept that some cars have a fault - this is not the first time I have come across climate control. FYI the car is on LOW and the air comes out warm on warm days and cool on cool days. Any other gems please let me know. No offence, but after 3 days in this...

    rubbish aircon

    Well I have rung Hull Audi and they said there have been a number of A3s in with the same complaint - unfortunately they have to see the car before they can order the parts required (despite knowing what the fault will be), so whilst we bask in a heatwave I will be sweating like a fat bird I...

    President Jacques Chirac is a w@nker

    No sweat Yas - most of the Frenchies can see this for what it really is... a cheap stunt designed to take the heat off him after getting nailed up over the European Constitution.

    I think the track / rule changes proposed by Michelin were unacceptable. Tough Michelin I say.

    Had a spin on the back of a R1 this afternoon!!

    [ QUOTE ] I'm almost 36, so my mental days are behind me . Cant really see me chucking it that low, especially on the xv535, the pegs will catch 1st LOL. I'll stick to the 'mirrors, lifesavers, painted surfaces and never overtaking near junctions'. [/ QUOTE ] until, that is, you realise you...

    rubbish aircon

    I have just realised that my aircon is rubbish after a day in a courtesy A3. Basically my car still punts out cold air, but its only just "cold" and means driving around with the fans on full blast to avoid melting on sunny days, whereas in my loan car I could turn the fans down to 2 bars and...
