After 7 years of ownership, 55k great miles driven, 2 problem-free trips to Le Mans, 5 AITP events (one of which was exceptionally wet!), 3 ADI events, 3 GTI International events, 3 GTI International 1/4 mile runs, 2 ADI track sessions at Castle Combe (no sideways moments or barrier visits!), 1 visit to a Badger 5 rolling road day and countless great drives to & from work, I've just px-d my 2003 S3 for another car.
I've absolutely loved my S3 from the day I bought it, but the reality is that it's starting to cost me more each year to keep it to the standard I want both mechanically and aesthetically. So it'll be a genuinely sad day when I wave her farewell next week.
I've not bought another Audi. So, to everyone on here but especially Tuffty and Joe, THANK YOU for being the most amazing, friendly and helpful forum I have ever had the pleasure to be part of. You have helped me deal with the challenges of S3 ownership, provided some great advice, caused me to spend money I didn't really NEED to spend and allowed me to enjoy my S3 ownership far more than would have otherwise been the case. The AS-net BBQ will live on in my mind...
For those that want to know, I've decided to buy a car that's acknowledged to be one of the best handling performance hatches of the current time and whilst it's not the most powerful or prestigious car on the road, I know it's going to give me miles & miles of great driving experiences whether I'm driving the B-roads to work or heading down through France for another Le Mans adventure.
The days of Fiesta ST ownership begin later this week. A visit to Mountune is already planned...
Keep an eye on the classifieds for a few parts I'll be selling on.
