Result. Only a few months to wait! At least you are getting the spec you actually wanted.

New car is a fair outcome even with the contribution.

Build won't be confirmed until around two weeks prior to actual build, so allow some slack! I'm sure there are UK cars due after June.

In all honesty Audi should supply the car without you making any contribution because of all the inconvenience to you.
Currently Mondeo ST155 & Titanium X Sport

Keeping my fingers crossed for you that it is built on a Tuesday rather than a Friday afternoon. :beerchug:

Therein lies another question though, how many UK models will there be given the build allocation is locked tomorrow?

Its a good point

I am wondering how many there are actually going to be in the UK, Audi have confirmed there's 2700 worldwide with the rumour mill saying 500+100 (+1 :p) coming to the UK, but there still damn rare on the roads and only 121 (+1 crashed one) shown on how many left?

I also wonder if build quality has deteriorated now that RS model production has moved from Neckarsulm // Quattro GmbH to Hungary for the TTRS and RS3? They just don't appear to be put together as well as they were?

mine was pretty decent, the centre consul squeaked a bit but i put that down to the group N suspension lol

doubt they make the engines anyway

the only thing i would have pulled it up on was the nearside rear bumper stuck out 2mm over the body, minor but it bugged the hell out of me :drink:

in my experience most VAGs have a "run in" mode which they dump after 1000 or so miles. Our Polo GTi became ballistic after 1000 miles

The engines are invariably made in Hungary including those for the R8 / LP 560's.
