After much deliberation over an S3 or S5 cab to replace the TT, have gone with this.

2012 Facelift S5 in Monsoon Grey with red roof and mega options boxes ticked!

Roof may not be to everyones liking but its certainly different...!

Lovely car. Hope you enjoy driving it:)
 
Unusual, but certainly a style statement, chaz. The more I look, the more I like. Welcome to the A5 universe.

Yea not too sure on the roof myself, but my opinion is about as useful as a chocolate teapot to you anyway! :p

The rest of it is simply gorgeous thats for sure :)

Congrats buddy. Sure you are loving it!

Collection day tomorrow!!

I believe it is Monsoon Grey??
 
So, only a little excited, then? Bet your SO is looking forward to the event more than you. Mine was - "So, when you get the car, will you finally shut up about it?" "Yes, dear", I said, knowing full well that her suffering had only just begun...

Ms Eskimo was so relieved....until about 6months later I started going on again about what I should get next....she's given up on any hope that I'll stop banging on about cars....

Well, Doc, as I have said to Herself on several occasions, "But, Dearest, you've known I was a dyed-in-the-wool petrolhead from Day 1." Which earns me her No.3 Slitty-eyed Look - "Yes, you lumbering jackass, I did know that, but it doesn't mean I have to like it!"

Oh, that really is nice! Someone's certainly taken good care of the car. I do hope your SO doesn't mind sharing you with a gorgeous redhead!
 
Its actually for her, mine is the SQ5
 
In that case, I hope your SO doesn't mind sharing a gorgeous redhead with you. See, I'm morally flexible...

Im sure she wont...! Glad i convincted to go for the S5 over the S3 it just seems a but more special, if that make sense??

Also like a home from home as its the same dash as the SQ5, although trumps it with the carbon fibre trim
 
One more pic.....
