Poverty i doubt you'd be even asking this question if you'd herd Jonny's TTRS on the dyno today :notworthy:. I think you'd be at the Audi dealer putting a deposit down.

Cats out the bag then about my plans  :grin:

Im saving as we speak, taking on two extra jobs every night after my normal shift as well as doing 10 jobs on saturdays now. A TTRS will be mine hoping to have a big enough deposit to make the repayment around the same as the K1 so I then have loads of money left to spunk on mods and v power each month. The dealers tried to convince me to pcp a RS, but it doesnt make sense to me to pay all that money for something you have to hand back. They say the clever people pcp, im not convinced though.

Hopefully get the car when I come back from holiday so late august or september.

This thread still isnt about me though lol, I know what I need to do to get the RS lol. :driver:

Just watched it and it sounds the danglies. I could just imagine how much better it sounds in real life, the stock TTRS as it is sounds good in person, so yours must be on another level.

4 more months to go till I get to play  :driver:

if you need hp/pcp that costs £500 + a month imo you cant afford it , end of  :scared:


Not true, i take £500 a month out of my business(ltd company) a month to cover the car, tax free!  Why would I buy a car outright when I can get it on a LP?  Its horses for courses, every situation is different.  I would rather use lumps of cash to pay of my mortgage than owning a car outright??? - That makes far more sense.  Cash flow is far more important to me.

Just my tuppence :happy2:

....Totally valid, Oli, but you run a car business and have your own perspective. I guess that as we each have different circumstances, we each prefer different options.

Nothing to do with the car business, anyone that runs their own business(ltd), can take money out tax free to cover the miles they claim for, e.g 40p for the first 10k then 25p thereafter.  Its easy when you know how.  I am just fortunate enough to be 'in the business' so can get better prices and cheaper finance, and know all the ins and outs :happy2:
