    Moving to the dark side

    Cheers mate, I am well happy with my new car. Will miss the S3 but I wouldn't have bought the new model , it just doesn't look £40k+ worth of car to me.

    Moving to the dark side

    Picked up my new M2 competition on Saturday , couple of really bad photos of it - why does the sun never shine when I pick up a car. So a few comments from my first few days. I love the car, it feels more urgent like you are constantly holding it back. The exhaust sounds great even though it has...

    Moving to the dark side

    I was originally going for a pre-reg car , but walked away with a new car - comfort and plus pack in blue (which was my preferred colour) - £50k and £24k trade in on my S3 , seemed a reasonably deal to me. Second hand values are all over the place at the moment. S3 was 23.5k , then went up to...

    Moving to the dark side

    After 5 Audis in a row I have decided to move to a BMW M2 Competition. I always said that the S3 would be my last gas guzzler - but I am addicted to the noise of engines and its pretty difficult to find these days. Got a decent part-ex on my S3 and a good lump of discount on a brand new car - I...

    2 drivers with NCD and one car

    I understand that if you do not insure a car for 2 years then you lose your NCD. Both me and my wife have 8 yrs plus NCD and currently have 2 cars - but we are just not using them enough to justify them. So we want to drop to one car (as we are named drivers on our kids 2 cars - so plenty to...

    GOODWOOD FESTIVAL OF SPEED

    If you can do more than one day then there is more than enough to keep you busy. If its one day - I would say Friday , seems a little less busy than the weekend. Get there early and have a plan on what you want to see. I absolutely love wandering around the F1 paddock when they are preparing to...

    Just ordered a new car

    I am sure you will love the Q3 - I had one prior to my S3 and it was a lovely car , nice being that little bit higher up. Could you drive the car using left foot on the brake and right for the accelerator - means you wouldn't need to move your feet about. Might be something to try on a quiet and...

    Facelift DAB interference when using rear screen demist

    Now the nights are getting colder and I am having to use the rear demist in the mornings the radio seems to get interference and drops stations - anyone else get this. Is there any point in taking it to Audi? I have heard of issues with the radio when people install rear dash cams , but anyone...

    Facelift Too close for comfort

    Luckily the front was about an inch from the kerb so managed to just pull forward and no damage to the alloy. Tyre took a bit of a scrape. Granite curbs are a nightmare- would have been adding to the “DIY alloy repair” thread or worse. Live for another day Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
