Nice one Tom!

Just did a quick search of sapang blue.



Fookin love the colour. I dont really like blue cars as a rule but since i had a good nosey around your S3 i changed my mind, and this looks even better.

lucky barsteward Tom 
i changed job too this week but didnt order a new car 
i hate you .....

Love the fact the 'BMW garage' visit was a ploy Tom 

I genuinely thought you had a 135i up your sleeve but I think you chose correctly imo 
The colour and specs are extremely tasty. 'Played lad

What other cars did you test drive? I'd guess with that sort of budget it was a hard decision!

AMV8? M3? 135i? XKR? 997?

I guess brand new the TT-RS doesn't really have any natural competitors...

Yeah the BMW garage was to go and have a chat about the  new 1M thingy! They didn't really know much and I still can't get my head around the looks so I thought I would look elsewhere!

A quick visit to the Audi garage on Sunday proved an expensive one, I was originally looking at second hand ones but saw this one in the showroom and it had preety much every option ticked, I couldn't resist.

The engine in these things is just pure class, they feel VERY quick in standard from and a sound is to die for with the sport button engaged. The sound is so so different from the 2.0 TFSI, the only way I can describe it is the 2.0 being a more mechanically tuned sound, where the 2.5 has more of a deep burble, almost R32-esque! I cannot imagine how quick they are when Revo'd

I looked at a lot of other options, the 1M sounds like an awesome bit of kit on paper but no matter how hard I try I can't get round the looks!

M3, XKR, 997, AM V8 etc etc....have gargantuan engines that will gulp fuel for fun and are expensive to insure, and TBH I think they are all cars beyond my years

Your 22 you ****, you should be driving a Corsa.

I'd love to see that after it's been fully corrected!

Hey guys and gals! Not posted for a while, a new job has meant that I have been stacked out and not had any free time at all! 

After much deliberation with what to do with the S3 for months I finally bit the bullet today and bought a new car! Wasn't originally go down this route but after the test drive I was blown away!

So in a few weeks I a Sepang Blue TT-RS is on it's way! 

It's got all the bells and whistles, Nav, AMI, Recaro Buckets, Mag Ride etc etc....To say i'm quite excited is an understatement! Many sleepless nights ahead now 

Tom 

You have the colour and spec everyone on VAG OC wanted 

Dont know what spec your S3 was in but if its stage 2 plus  its basically on par with the TTRS. A mapped TTRS is just stupid quick you gotta revo it absolutely transforms the car but might aswell wait till after winter now as I can spin all 4 wheels in 2nd in the wet, no idea what it would do in the snow and ice!

TT-RS I can get the kids into.

Are they double-jointed?

I meant the RS3 is a TT=RS you can get the kids in.

Kind Of.

I get adults into the back of mine nearly every weekend 

Tell em to duck as we go over speed bumps or they will hit their heads

Tom - All I have to say is 'very nice' 

[joesgti]

.
Nice one, Tom! Stunning engine and zorst music you'll absolute hate!

Round the Ring next year, eh?

make sure you take some oil!!

[Strat]

Very nice mate!

Be nice if that 5 cylinder engine made it into more VAG cars!

Provide plenty of pics please come delivery!
