Back from Japan

Post by Nickyboy » Tue Oct 31, 2017 2:58 am

After three and a half years away from the UK and car ownership I have finally decided to come back.

Anyway I have an RS 3 waiting for me in the UK with the following options

Options include

Sports exhaust
Magnetic suspension
Aluminium styling pack
Privacy glass
Cruise
Rain/light sensors
Super sports seats
Reversing camera
Bang and olufsen speakers
Auto dim mirror
Folding heated mirrors
Interior lighting pack
Advanced nav
Audi connect
Sepang blue paint

Drove one on a visit to the UK earlier this year and the noise sold it for me. Would love my old RS 5 back but figure this would keep me happy.

Forget all the talk about cars. Tell us about all of the freaky Japanese sex you've been getting. Did you end up with a long-haired dictionary while over there?
No matter where you go, there you are.
