Sure some people do it just to hear and see actually how quick the car is, but I bet quite a few actually think they will keep up lol.

I'm from Kent, yourself?

Bristol. Bought my S4 from Kent though. Shane you live so far away, I'd really like to see what the RS3 is actually like. I almost bought one but got the S4 instead.

Oh right, do like the S4, what dealer did you use?

As I said in a previous post photos don't do the car justice, I'll be at inters in June if your going

Maidstone Audi, very nice guys and gave me a great price. I tried 15-20 others if not more, you can tell how many I phoned based on the fact I bought it from a dealer 180 miles away.

I was going to it but now can't due to friends flying over. Shame as would have like to have seen some decent cars. I went to a castle Combe show last month and I think my car was one of the 3 main attractions on the whole day! Would be nice to see some RS cars about.

Hiya, yeah 9 months.. But it did fly by! Seems a good step from the cupra so far, I love the car and the dealers been great the only thing that has let it down wing mirrors!!! He said they are looking at retro fitting them and will come back to me as soon as he has found all the relevant parts etc.. I hope it doesn't start creeking after they have installed them.

Going to ask for a decent courtesy car and something as a good will guesture but will I get it.. Who knows lol

Will try and get some pics up tomorrow, not really taken many, my mate took some so will put them up for now, but will do some betterones after it's detailed.

How you finding yours? When did you try launch control?

May look for an exhaust

Ah good glad you are pleased with it plus it will just get better and faster....

Yeah all good here now the door cards and handles are fixed. After a courtesy S3 the RS feels very special to drive so well planted.

Launched it at about 800mls and now daily as i put my security card in and the barrier goes up i'm in that carpark in seconds :rocker:

I've had some good prices on mily's but trying to hold off, getting Married in 2mths :drink:

Haha love it, I've got to use the Dartford Tolls for a couple of months why the olympics are on as were moving offices, so I can see it being a daily sprint out the tolls :lol:

Feel for you, I'm getting married next year so not sure if I can really justify the exhaust just yet, Milltek are allot for the system, scorpion are currently developing one, tried to get it as the development car but just missed out, think they have someone booked in for end of may.

May just go for the secondry by pass pipes as they are not so exspencive

you going inters?

At least he can park, there are some retards on this site that would choose a similarly remote spot AND then leave it straddling two parking bays. Elitist pricks.
Lovely looking car, made even more so by not spec'ing rear window tints.

It looks like a smaller version of my S4 with the white and the wheels. I love it!

One thing that I do find odd. The TTS and RS have the classic quad / oval exhausts yet the S3 /RS3 doesn't. I think the RS3 would look good with the ovals IMO.

Are you impressed with the exhaust note?

thanks for comments

haha yeah don't mind the walk but wouldn't leave it over two spaces :-)

it's actually got rear tints but they are really light tint.. Which is random but prefer the light tint
