TAKEN THE PLUNGE

Post by SimonG » Sat Nov 16, 2013 11:32 pm

Dear All, a few months after selling my B7 RS4 , I took the plunge today and purchased a 2011 V10 Spyder , Daytona, Red exclusive seats,manual, carbon pack etc. It is absolutely stunning ,beautiful and totally impractical-perfect !!

Couple of bits of advice please
Insurance -any tips . 48 max. no claims 3 points live Surrey
There is no sport button on the car unlike the RS4- is there anyway to plug the valves open?
As i say picking the car up next week - have done all the usual checks - HPI, selling dealer, service history - any other adivce prior to next week appreciated
Finally it's on a personal plate currently - what is the process for getting it off ?

Thanks in advance all

Mine is on a multicar with admiral, well worth a quote as a new customer. :jump:

Capristo FTW! Play with the valves on a keyfob remote.
