Scirocco Central

How about this ...




I traded in the Rocco R on Wed picked this up today done 340 miles today got 29.5 mpg ont the motorway (just normal driving not grandad speeds)

I know its a marmite colour, but I love it and the TT RS is better to drive than I hoped it would be, can't stop grinning

Picked it up from Taunton and drove up M5 M6, so I dont think it was me You sure it was a TT RS ? Colour is an option on the TTS but audi custom paint on the RS, would love to know is theres another Solar Orange TT RS out there.

haha It never will. I was pointing out that Audi has a history of 5 pot engines and that your ford comment was irrelevant. I may as well as you if your Joining the Evo OC with your Highly tuned 2.0 4 pot

have you seen the vid of the 700bhp 2.5 TFSI ? it does catch fire lol

Nope show me the link

I love those UR Sport Quattros the noises they make are just orgasmic

Wonder if TTS will let me have a go in their 500+ bhp TTRS tomorrow

Saw the Green one, they poped down to R Fest in it last year. Awesome Car (even if alot of it isnt to my taste). Drive in that would be great. Is it 500 + already ?

was looking at a hybrid turbo for the RS today, i think yellow lambo brakes may clash though, i was tipped off the future was orange today

gah can't find it, I'll pm you a link if i come accross it again.

well the 2.5 conversion is out of the question...engine alone is £10k from Audi! That EXCLUDES the ECU / Loom and all other bits that u need.

so that's that then.

Don't forget that your Engine is worth a bob or 2 in exchange though ...

Yup...I'm also in the same boat as well! What do you go for after an R?

So far I've entertained a step sideways to a Golf R, but I'm told 8 months for a new one (£41K) in the exact spec I'd want.
I've recently test driven the TT-RS, which was fantastic, but 'way' too expensive to buy new, to an exact specification. And I actually found the standard seats caused me a bit of discomfort which really surprised me!!!
I've been advised to test drive the M3 Coupe, but I genuinely think 4WD is a must have up where I live in the NE Scotland.
I've recently started to think about a used GT-R, which is the car of my dreams, and is also right up at the top end of my budget, and starts to make a used low mileage TT-RS look like a bit of a bargain.
My biggest problem is that there are so many excellent cars to choose from nowadays and when you have a max budget of circa £50K, do you buy a good new car, or a great used car. This is really starting to do my head in!

Later Peeps,

Given lack of use and budget I'd be on the lookout for as good a carerra 4s I could find

In reality you are knocking on the door for a used R8
