Aha I work hard and play harder.


Not really will be getting it remapped but other than that it will be kept standard as it's the sensible daily driver, does the job at the moment.

FON & Welcome, I got my first 'S' at 18 too, an S8. You say you don't have plans now, but I'm sure you'll start looking at Coilovers/de cats soon enough. Car looks great by the way.

I warrant them as track cars but all see road use (although not very comfortable it is quite fun)


The S3 is in for Cambelt , Water Pump , Haldex Service and a general check up..... missing it already.

O I do love the S8's, I fancy a CLK 55 AMG or B5 S4 ... maybe a B5 RS4 if funds allow next year.

Insurance is a killer though I pay 2.5K just for the bloody S3 !

Try Admiral, multicar if possible. I'm 21 and very pleased with the price I'm paying on my RS6+, in my name - everything declared. Had to wait until I was 21 until they would touch me though.

We to have an Admiral Multi car policy, no one else will touch me on 'fast' Audis under 21.

We have a CL600 bi turbo, CLK 430 , Modified Noble M12 and a Saab family barge on the policy so it knocks a fair bit off my insurance......

WTF! You have 4 cars and your 18.

When I was 18 I had an MG Metro. How times have changed (yes I'm jealous)

Any pics of the T5?

So you're only insured to drive ONE of the FOUR cars you've listed AND they're all race and/or track cars AND you're 18 AND you don't live in Scandinavia?
