On a less positive note, I’m currently sat in Silverstone circuit waiting for a mate to bring me a wheel out my garage as I got a flipping puncture 😡

That's not that bad, it's only flat at the bottom. :biggrin3:


I think the B9s have a spare so you do have that to look forward to :thumbs:

In one sense we were luckier

The Mk2 V6 vert had only just been launched and there was a waiting list but Audi express built the new one, put us in a brand new Q7 for the 4 week duration and sent us both on the driving Experience event at Silverstone.

Nope, don't have one - at least not in Switzerland :). Only the tools and the battery are below the trunk!

Edit: Its spec'able, just not selected by default.

That’s cause Graeme’s didn’t have to go to the paint Shop. No paint = no possibility of defects. Yours might have some defects cause yours is Green.

If I’d have ordered silver and skipped the primer too, I’d be driving it around by now 😂😂

According to the spec on the tracker, the UK cars have a space saver.
Spare tyres could be problematic when I had my B7, because of some rule about all 4 wheels needing to have (approximately) the same amount of tyre wear.
Don't know if that has changed with the new diff.

They do have space saver 👍 and not an issue. Always good to rotate tyres etc to maintain even tread across all 4 tyres but much bigger differences in rotation speed happen all the time unless you only drive on dead straight roads ;)
