Yep it’s madness outside a garage is always less.
Considered doing mine as that but 9/10 it’s in the garage and if it’s stolen from a garage I’d rather not have to worry.

I hear you. it’s mad . My garage is a lot safer than the driveway , at least mrs Johny b can’t sideswipe it on the way back from Waitrose.
Might be better off buying a pair of roller skates then mate, don’t think the rs is for you, it sometimes eggs you on when the conditions are safe of course
In all serious enjoy the car when you get it and once in a while maybe the odd launch start
My garage is tight, about 2 inches either side of the wing mirrors but I’d rather it be tight than it be outside. The garage is triple locked, one visible and two not.. I have a folding, locking post inside and is alarmed with the most piercing alarm you could hope to hear.

Lmao! I only mentioned the good points
My Mum hates being out in the car with me when I drive fast, otherwise they like my driving and I have free-will to loan their Audi’s whenever I want. Only the occasional launch
I did around 15 in the S3 in a year and felt guilty for it, a few less with the RS I think. It’s simply a showoff factor but they do shift, real well.I tested all of the options out of interest. On the street - cheapest, on the drive was significantly more expensive and in the garage was the motherload of cash for the premium. Like I said, the whole process is vomit inducing. And a sh1tfest.
Come on! There is no point buying the car if you are going to drive it like a Fiat 500. You have to give it the beans from time to time to justify the cost.Lmao! I only mentioned the good points

Don’t feel guilty as long as the oil temps are above 80 then all bets are off
these cars are designed for abit of a thrashing doesn’t hurt to stretch there legs every so often
Oh it gets driven haha, but I’m not somebody who struggles to keep a car out of a hedge and plants their foot hoping for the best. This is the stereotype Insurance is based on for somebody my age.
My car gets driven don’t worry about that.

I’m critical with that too, stays under 3000rpm until I get to 80 degrees.
Being an engineer I’ve got a fair bit of mechanical sympathy and instantly putting 400hp through the drivetrain does make me cringe a little. But yes agreed they are built to take it, somebody in work said they wouldn’t buy a fast car because it would have been driven fast.

Of course
I won’t be taking my car out on any sh*tty winter roads just for the sake of it. I don’t need it for work, therefore it’s a toy.. I certainly am not the first to keep a dry weather car.
It’s already driven 160 miles in flat out rain though when I collected it.

A 'dry' weather car in the UK..........

Yep, I can’t see it lasting long but the point is I’m not going to take it out and be forced to get it stinking dirty for the sake of it... like my S3 ended up last winter.
The S3 had to be used for work but my factory has relocated since.

Unless you’re going to have it as a ‘garage queen’ and put minimal miles on it and hope in the future the price really appreciates then I can’t see why you wouldn’t use it as it’s supposed to be used... get it out there and enjoy it whenever you can... or at least that’s my outlook on it
It’s not with a view of price appreciating, just a view of keeping it in showroom condition for as long as I can because the car is a keeper for me.
Anyway, nothing saying I won’t be changing jobs soon in which case would mean it has to be used for that purpose. Nothing better though than on your first rest day after 4 days in work, opening the garage to see a pristine car having been cleaned the day it was put away.
That’s not happening for the first few weeks, shall be using it for work and doing some pointless mileage either side of it to use it
Final collection tomorrow at 9am, wooohoooo!

Looking forward to more photos mate
With my last couple of cars I was lucky enough to have a ‘runabout’ as well, but always found myself going back to my main car even for just running into town etc... and it always gave me the excuse to go the long way round to places... twice a week wash and always try to keep them looking like new ha
My last three cars have had perlecent paint and colours which really stand out so looking forward to a change with Nardo this time
There will be more over the next week, having professional photos taken tonight at the detailers including light painting.
Nardo is a nice colour, you won’t regret it but it will be a shock to your system haha.
Audi nutta please for the love of god drive your car, without being really shi..y mate it’s is an rs3 and not a maclaren p1. I drive mine everywhere in any condition and it is flawless, you are missing a truck especially in the wet with road crap plastered all over itIt’s not with a view of price appreciating, just a view of keeping it in showroom condition for as long as I can because the car is a keeper for me.

You've spent a fortune protecting the paintwork. Get out and enjoy every minute of that glorious 5-pot, come rain or sunshine.

Nah just go to your local Audi centre or be sensible and when you order a car, ask to be taken out in something special.... that’s always worked, several times. Drive one on the public roads without supervision?! Where do you live?!?!
