Title: Finally!
Post by: T88OMM on December 01, 2010, 02:13:02 pm
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:

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:
Title: Re: Finally!
Post by: andrewparker on December 01, 2010, 09:52:44 pm
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...
Title: Re: Finally!
Post by: T88OMM on December 01, 2010, 09:55:50 pm
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:

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 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  :laugh:

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:

Title: Re: Finally!
Post by: T88OMM on December 09, 2010, 08:30:35 pm
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:

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
