If you see an 8V on your travels put a post in here. Just add rough location and colour of car spotted, but please dont put full registration number. Thank you.

A3 and A3 SB Glacier white both sport, seen these a few times but never at the same time

Ware

A3 SB, s-line in Daytona Grey - seen on a number of occasions around 8.00-8.15 on its way out of town and on its way back into town around 5.15.
 
About 1:15 today (15/09) on the Harlestone Road (St James) a white 8v parked on the side street (St. James CEVA Primary School)

A3 Sportback Scuba Blue - Sun 15th

And no, they were not mine! This game is much easier to play than when I first started at my order time, April 2013.
 
Saw a black 8V in front of me today leaving Stone (Staffs) and going up towards the A50
 
M50 heading towards Ross on Wye, 03 September. Black 1.6 Tdi on a 63 plate, taking it nice and easy on what must have been one of his first days of driving.
 
Wednesday 18th September 7.30pm sea front promenade, Le Treport, Normandie, France - Black SB TDI with privacy glass and what looked like black rotors, was only 8V I saw over the 400 miles I have driven this week.

M4 junction 11

A3 Sportback. Black, 63 plate. Monday 16th.

I wonder if we will ever spot a new A3 that is an Audi-sport member? And they can say "that was me!"
 
Maybe we could get stickers?? Or do they already exist? Site ones I mean not specific to your profile :)

Saw another blue Sportback with the Xenons yesterday, but can't remember where it was now! It would be in either Loughborough, Nottingham or on the A60 somewhere

A3 Sportback Brilliant Black 2.0 TDI in Watford approximately 2:30pm today, driver turned and had a good look at my car....I felt the sudden urge to give her a big :thumbsup: just to share the love, but managed to control myself!!

I'm clearly still over excited about my car! :happy:

North Stevenage but regularly travel to Ware too. Give it 2 months then look out for mine. Maybe the one I saw today was you one you spotted. It was my first non-white spotted and Daytona looked awesome! Now I'm a little worried as I switched from Daytona to Shiraz last minute!

My company is based in Ware, and I use the 602 occasionally to get to Stevenage, will look out for you once you get yours, not to late to change your mind on colour :).

The Daytona I see is a 13 plate, not sure if it's same one as can't see if its debadged as always pass it head on, but looks like its heading in or out of Ware via the 602.
 
Saw a 3 dr red Audi S3?? Are they out yet?

Bristol, wells road. 12:15

Think I saw you yesterday coming out of Bunny, towards Loughborough at around 5:30 - was that you? Was definitely a new A3 in black anyway but only caught a glimpse as I noticed it at the last minute!

Drove the entire way from North East London to Center Parcs in Whinefell (Cumbria) last Friday and didn't spot a single A3 8V on my journey (310 miles!). That was until I pulled into the car park and spotted a lovely looking A3 8V Sportback in White (S-Line) with a bike rack on the tailgate. Looked to be a riding on SE suspension.
