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! :sad1:
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! :jumpmove:
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 :sad1:
Tom :happy2:

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

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. :party: :party: :party:
-
lucky barsteward Tom :wink: :happy2:
i changed job too this week but didnt order a new car :signLOL:
i hate you ..... :evilgrin:
-
Love the fact the 'BMW garage' visit was a ploy Tom :evilgrin:
I genuinely thought you had a 135i up your sleeve but I think you chose correctly imo :smiley:
The colour and specs are extremely tasty. 'Played lad :happy2:
-
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 :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

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 :wink:

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

Tom :happy2:
You have the colour and spec everyone on VAG OC wanted :signLOL:
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 get adults into the back of mine nearly every weekend :laugh:
Tell em to duck as we go over speed bumps or they will hit their heads :signLOL:

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

.

make sure you take some oil!! (https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fserve.mysmiley.net%2Fashamed%2Fashamed0006.gif&hash=8ebc3ecda11503d107f7d9ff33eed89a9f2b3a2f) (http://www.mysmiley.net/free-winking-smileys.php)

Very nice mate!
Be nice if that 5 cylinder engine made it into more VAG cars!
Provide plenty of pics please come delivery! :happy2:
-

....It's in the new Audi RS3 and quite frankly it's the engine which starts off the lusting.

What a rubbish car, I've got my eye on this for the winter instead as it's bound to be better than a TT-RS any day:

:chicken:
I'm sure it'll keep up the the TT on the drag strip too.... maybe not :ashamed:
I must admit though that the TT-RS is very nice. I would have had one a while ago except that the driving position was incredibly uncomfortable for me :sad:
Enjoy it in the snow :evilgrin:
-
What happened to the S3 in the end? would they not fix it also?
-
Well, I picked her up yesterday! To say im impressed is an understatement, it's had me grinning from ear to ear for the past 30 hours :rolleye:
The engine is an absolute gem, it just pulls and pulls. There seems to be a lot more urge at the top of the rev range compared to the S3, it is mentally fast even in standard form and the sound is just incredible. I can't imagine what it will be like after a dose of Revo :evilgrin:
I will get some pics up when she has had some treatment off Mr. Migilior :happy2:
-
Tom, BTW, it will look sh*t on Turinis :P :wink:
-
Cant wait for a ride in this. :party: :party: :party: (https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Ftomashandmilly%2FDaft_stuff%2Ffunny34d.gif&hash=c933b37f306395ff7822f230afa4adeff8bf1680)

If so then very nice Tom. :happy2:
Lovely colour.
-
Congrats Tom, that's awesome mate!
-
FFS!!! I'm getting sick and tired of all these new TTRS owners coming on here and rubbing our noses in it. Mods, they need to be banned :fighting: I actually hate them, think there slow and a womens car... :sick:
As you can tell Tom, i'm not jealous at all and i'm really happy for you... :ashamed: :signLOL: :signLOL: :signLOL: Beautiful car mate.. :happy2: Just don't be suprised if I don't talk to you anymore at future meets.. :sad1:
-
Yeah, that's the one :xmaspresent:
The wheels and mirrors are staying as they are, there is a lot of silver detailing all over the car,anything darker would look odd IMO :smiley:
I do find myself looking at some BBS CH-R a bit too much though :evilgrin:
-
All it needs is 19's imo or lowering, ideally both though :happy2:
-
I thought the TT-RS came with darker 5 spoke alloys?
Keep drooling over these when I get the odd trip to Boston Audi. Almost have the full RS range in the showroom.
-
Lovely :happy2: :congrats:

18s come as stock, 19s and 20s are optional.
Friend of mine has this car on 20s looks the nuts. Pics dont do the car justice, it actually looks like a mini supercar
