Very nice Nath its a shame you wasn't looking 12 months ago when Rich got rid of his has that was speced to the hilt but yours is just as nice well done on the new wheels mate :happy2:

Darren

Thanks Daz! Yes there was only one thing wrong with Rich's car........................ Rich!  :signLOL:

The spec will be there soon enough!  :wink:

Nousey is a detailer. I'd have thought a white/black/red/blue car would have shown his skills off.

No xenons? What extras did it come with? Or was it pov spec? Am sure it won't be standard much longer.


I get to show my 'skills' of enough Jaz!  :wink: Agree Black is best when it's clean, but it don't tay that way for long and I don't have the the to be cleaning my own car every other day! Plus I love silver anyway, very underrated and still stunning when corrected and waxed!

Spec as above!  :happy2:

Black is a total bitch of a colour. There's nothing more depressing than spending hours cleaning your car, then it being dirty the next day.

LOVE it Nath  :congrats: :congrats: :congrats:
When I bought mine and then when I first saw Rich's old Pirelli, I wished I'd have gone for one too. :sad1:
Pirelli's are Uber Nice.  :star:

Great colour too mate  :happy2:

I love the DSG, and I wouldn't go back to manual given the choice….but I have to agree with you too. A Manual gearbox just gives you that extra bit of confidence and control I think…..but that could just be cos the DSG has made me lazy.  :ashamed:
Sticking it in "D" is far too easy, and then when I try to use the paddles round the track, I forget Im not in "D"  :driver:

Just need lots of track days this year  :laugh:

Looks great Nath, nice colour too, it's a more practical version of the white imo.
Keen to see what you do with it over the coming months. :happy2:

Learn to drive the DSG in manual mode on the steering wheel. I never use D, even trawling around town.

much more fun  :happy2:

No she wasn't around for long, but more due to circumstance than me not liking the car in any way! Yeh I love the seats in the Pirelli, I realise the yellow stitching isn't to everyones taste but it's not as bright as some pics make out!  :happy2:

Yes!!! He's back in the game!!  :smiley:
