A corsa quicker than an RS4?

Post by Macdaddy » Fri Apr 01, 2011 5:31 pm

Would a corsa be quicker than my RS4....... 45 minutes to nip to my local Shop for wine which is less than 1/2 a mile away!

I think I took a wrong turn when I pressed the S button and the V8 burbled away lol!

Complete waste of fuel and an even more expensive bottle of wine, maybe I need a corsa cos it'd be quicker to nip to the Shop in! :jump:

Ah it's good to be back in a car I'm obsessed with :FIREdevil:

Second that !

I had the day off with a list of jobs, didn't do any of them.
Just went cruising round, pretending that I was doing stuff.

AWESOME !

Roof was down until about 3pm. Got a bit chilly then, the wind deflector makes a huge difference.

Wonder if the list will get done tomorrow ?

With the wind deflector up I find seats and heaters on full is too much!

Great bit of kit!

Same again today too, half a tank gone because we've taken the long way everywhere. On the plus side leaving a motorbike as i went through twisties on one of my fave roads was good...... Seeing him eventually at the lights alongside thinking wtf is in that thing even better!

ha ha.... I thought I was the only one.... would go the LONG way home after training in the evenings just to hit a quite dual carrage way for a 5 miles spurt instead of going direct and being home 1/4 of a mile!

Problem is expalaing the missing time from Training and getting home :(
