I've only had a S3 Black Edition S-Tronic

but the S3 is DIRE .... it handles about as well as a wheel barrow, the suspension is as hard as granite and and fuel economy of 26MPG in return for 265PS didnt do it for me.

As for the '5 ... I've only had a A5 Cab 2.0TDI 170PS FWD ... please dont make me explain how much i hate that car again ... its too exhausting ... the fact I rate a 1.4 Nissan Note above it says a lot.

What I would like, given I'll take delivery in August, would be a A5 Cab 3.0TDI quattro S-Tronic ..... but they arent available to order (they all need to hit a residual's hurdle to qualify)

I'd try the Audi A4 Black Edition 3.0 TDI quattro (spec'd to the nines) but I don't really see the point seeing you can get the S4 S-Tronic. Can you order the S4 with full pov spec just so you can run that tricky sport diff as a daily? That's what I'd do, I'd love to know how the S4 would corner with that diff attached. Evo raved about it, gotta be good, amirite?

yes A4 3.0TDI black edition is the thinking mans choice ... but then you say to yourself, why, if you can have an S4 ....

not allowed the spec the sport diff ... all comes back to residuals

Double damn on the sport diff front, thwarted.
Re: the A4 black ed 3.0 TDI - because you could spec the <beep> out of it! What's the base price on the A4 black, or more importantly, what's the standard spec? If it's a daily driver then make it one super comfortable mofo... toy that bitch up, son!

Makes sense to me, if I needed a daily driver, it'd be a super refined diesel technowagon and spec'd like an Arab oil baron's karzy. An A8 springs to mind.

Not interested in A6/8s DK?

There is a new twin turbo diesel a6 on the way isn't there?

Back on topic, friend of mine got done on a Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday on the M1 Specs

That has to be pretty daft a) for what it is and b) his company (that he is MD of and heads up H&S) are civil engineers so he has his own gangs on the road all of the time!

Was he "working from home" on Wednesday ?

Can't have a lot of sympathy tbh.

I often speed but I know that if I'm caught, it'm my own fault.

I agree golf, hence why I keep getting petrols

We are called petrolheads for a reason

Tbh, as much as I hate it, I'll prob go for another TTRS if they are on the list just to have THAT noise and 340PS

The S4 is great luxury cruisier, but feels a lot slower than the gay pocket rocket

I now bang 45 into the cruise control, then I whip my meat out and wait for a chick to slowly move past. If I spot a decent one I speed match her and then rub one out whilst trying to make eye contact. It passes the time, otherwise those SPECS zone are just far too boring.
Just had to explain why I was laughing so much. A few people didn't understand it at all. :biggrin3:
