Cheers mate ..... sorry thought I'd mentioned - finally got a build date of 1st Feb so colection 1st March or first week of March is looking optimistic at the moment
So come Jan 1st I will feel like I'm on the home run having at that point checked off 5 months waiting since ordering early August !

Yeah...Baby...Yeah...lol....exact same time...l was on planet Audi....and eventually got me car March 15th...best time to get a new brief when Spring is just around the corner
Yeah the timing is great isn't really isn't it .... brand new registration and bad good weather months agreed .... I'm sure by then I will look back & wonder where the 7 months went waiting .... This is the longest I have EVER waited for a car - but it's the car I've wanted the most to be fair, so feel the waiting time is justified
Can't wait to share photos of her with you buddy when I get her - floret & black certainly feels quite a rare sight in the forum.

yeah...we wait our lives away on somethings....but he who waits....would love one....maybe this time next year,l will be waiting on one for March again..
My brother has the new Focus RS on order. Not my cup of tea, but I'm looking forward to seeing it in the New Year. He keeps telling me he'll have one of the first UK vehicles. I keep telling him, 'that's what you think..'. Me? Got a new TTS coming my way next year to replace my S3. Can't say I have loved my S3 that much. Has been a bit of a let down really. I loved my last one, but this 8v has been a disappointment to me in so many ways. Tried to the RS3 and was even less moved. Aside from the noise it made (sport exhaust fitted) I was struggling to work out where the extra ten grand was going - less is more IMO, buy the S3 and if you really want more speed, remap it and save yourself a small fortune in running costs. Nope, not for me, but the new TTS? Awesome, totally in another league from the S3 AND the RS3 IMO. Can't wait to pick mine up next year.
Get where you're coming from in certain area's, S3/RS3,but l personally think the new TTS is overpriced even in Audi terms £46k for a good spec car with only 308 bhp would rather have a fully specced exclusive painted S3 saloon with change in me pocket
Is this your S5 in the pic @Snake Pliskin ?great car ... I have certainly enjoyed my time with the S5 and will have good memories of it when it goes and estoril was a great shade of blue ...

Floret on your RS3 will sure be a lot easier to keep looking nice me reckons
Looking foreword to the pics SP of your new RS3 & your thoughts from the supercharged V6 to the 5 pot turbo
I loved the TTS I had on loan for a weekend but got to agree that think it is overpriced (as is the RS3) in relation to the S3.
Pound for pound despite its slight well documented (and argued) deficiencies I think Audi have hit the price point spot on or maybe even set it slightly low!!!!!!!
As most people have realised as soon as you want to move up in terms of power/performance or luxury from an S3 you start adding £10k to the price.

Yep Gotta agree there, TTS are overpriced, but you can get at least 10% discount which can basically pay for all/any extras you add to the car, so nobody should be spending over £40k on their TTS, which then makes it about right. You can even get a base spec manual for around £35k.
i have said it before....ALL cars are more expensive now days, my mate has just got a brand new 1.5dci Nissan Quashqie (or however it's spelt) £26k ...a 1.5 diesel Nissan!!!

Yeah great thanks, had the folks and me brother over xmas day. Must admit I miss the old days building stuff with the kids or searching high and low for batteries when it turns out you needed AAA's and there's none in the house!!
Weather's been ok down here mate, some strong wind but nothing like elsewhere..................and still mild so the car keeps gettin the same sterling service!! lol
That's good to hear mate good drills catching up with the folks and having them over. I guess as yours are older you're onto building bigger things like kitchens and laying patios lol !!
Good to hear valeting service continues as normal I got a cheeky one in myself yesterday. Just got drenched walking the dogs it's not fit for animals out there really feel for the families that have been flooded.
Lol no times 2 not a fan of the bimmers don't know why really my neighbours a big fan tho and has a 335 M sport on order.
I've got a sneaky suspicion that @jassyo06 has already put his order in for the next purchase ???
Hell will Freeze over FIRST before l ever rent/own a BMW.............Roba Fett

Bang fur Buck...Fast Fords are unbeatable.....VAG are...in front via technology...ie gearboxes/lighting/Panash...etc...Ford really do try hard...but l ain't going to compare, l have a soft spot for both mate...modern Fords drive better than any other cars at there price...and then some,its only there customer service/residuals that lets them down

Banter ya Bampot l'll tell ye this ya english ponce....as me Avatar Mucker wid say.....Jassy falls aff his chair....rollz aboot lafin....
Evening Guys.
Glad we all aligned on Fords and Bimmers !
Ford may be good to drive but shizer interiors and Dealers ! No no no I would feel like I had taken a BIG step backwards getting a Focus RS !
Bimmers - that m2 looks horrendous and I could not go back to rear wheel drive again ... Had a Bimmer a few years ago 330i and whilst a lovely engine note I lost a shed load of cash on it too - residuals are $hister on bmw's !!!

I'd have to agree my last Renault Sport Megane was more of a drivers car than my S3.
Not a Focus RS fan or Civic Type R.
Need to pop along to look at the new A4. Might go and try the Golf R estate for something different as I suspect I'm going to need more room come car change time.
