I haven't seen any around where I live bournemouth and Poole area (Dorset) and the ones I have seen mainly along the M3 have been mostly red and black, I'm yet to see a Sepang on the road in any S or RS form which I'm pleased as I don't think it's as common as every one thinks
 
I didn't see any S3's before I picked mine up some 4 weeks ago and on the way to Belfast a Daytona S3 passed us on the M2 :( and in the $tealership car park was another Daytona S3 :( pretty much common as muck :audibash::D

I've since seen plenty of Grey A3's but not one S3 (any colour)(8V)
 
Only seen one S3 sport back in hull where I live, yet to see a saloon so hopefully I'll be the 1st :), travelled over 300 miles yesterday and didn't even see an 8v s3 at all but there still relatively new.
 
See a a fair few in Poole and Bournemouth. I'm down there a lot so you might see mine at some point! Saw a black one on the A31 near Ferndown only last weekend. They are around....

Recent trip down to Southampton the other day I saw three Glacier S3's in the space of an hour! Two on the M27 and a 3dr being driven rather rudely near the docks (he looked about 15 the kiddy driving it). Then the next day after getting off the ferry from the Isle of Wight I saw a Misano SB. Southampton has loads!
 
Too expensive for people to buy brand new or even second hand at the moment, give it a couple of years and you'll see more on the road once prices drop.
 
Yeah, Aberdeen is the place for S3s. It's getting to the point I see a couple every day now.
 
They must be gettin 'em in before the extra import duty kicks in for 'em :meeting:

I was just shocked to see so few I travel a lot for work and have been backwards and forwards from Chelsea for the last three weeks and have only seen two! Maybe I just need to look harder! I'll look out for you Pulp and ill make sure I give you a wave!

When they first came out I saw 2.

More recently I have seen 2 more, only 1 of them a sportback.

Seen about three Golf Rs as well, one being test driven but the dealer said to me I would have to wait until Oct for a test drive unless I buy his used one, which I can test drive after paying 35k......lol, and no I wasn't in scruffy clothes. Sat in the S3 within about a minute at the Audi dealer!
 
I do the m1, m25 and m40 everyday and have yet to see a single one apart from mine, but then again I'll often only see one A3 8V on that journey anyway.
 
I see a Misano Red HB jjust outside Romsey in Southampton most days, and I know there's and Estoril Blue SB in Totton. Now a black SB turned up about 2 weeks after I got mine in the works car park... typical LOL!
 
Outside of an Audi forecourt, still a rare sight where I live, which is probably why mine gets so much attention. In the last four months I have seen just four, that's covering 5,000 miles of driving on M11, M25, A1, A120, A414, A10. Just one hatch and one saloon spotted, both in misano and two sportbacks, one grey (being driven by an utter idiot at about twice the national speed limit), the other black. Saw that one on Saturday on the A120 near Braintree.
 
i'm up in Fife Scotland - expecting my white hatch November -can't wait

Used have the thing with the current car -A5 saloon black edition in Daytona - took ages until I saw another one !
 
I overtook one when I was in Scotland but apart from that not seen any!
 
Seen a few round the Leeds area lately - 1 Estoril blue, 1 white. Seen a couple on motorway in last 5 weeks since getting mine. Seen a few Golf Rs as well now start to appear
 
Dammit - just seen another monsoon grey one go by me while I was parked near home!!!

Make the most of it, you wont be able to afford them when you're independent. Not being in the EU there'll be a huge import duty slapped on them by President Salmon.

Just been to lovely Kernow (Cornwall) for a week from the mudlands, I didn't see one S3 all week or on the way there and back but did see a couple of red RS3's (unless it was the same one twice. However there are far too many Sepang S3's being ordered and we need to stop this.
It's likely to be similar to black model T's in the 20's.

We'll get it back in tax at the pumps.

Saw my first S3 cabriolet today. I won't upset you by telling you what exact colour it was. I will say it was blue though........

Welcome mate,

Are you enjoying your car so far?

Your going to rack up them miles with that commute!!
 
Thank you for the warm welcome,
I've not had a chance to take any decent pictures of it, hope this works.
This was taken just after pdi.


I'm absolutely loving the car, can't wipe the smile off my face when I'm in it.

I don't take it to work with me thankfully. Have a dump car from work to take up and down the road. So far only done 450 miles. Can't wait to get home at nights and take it out for drive.

Where do you work that requires a dump car? I'm intrigued
 
Haha, it isn't really a dump car, we just call it a dump car. It's really a 54 plate A4 avant.

I'm a Technician at Aberdeen Audi. Cue insults, slagging and any other abuse that may follow haha.
