OK - some more questions!

Is there a copy of the 2013 Price list and Option list anywhere - I haven't managed to track it down yet. I have the full list of what I'm getting from the Audi spec line, but would quite like to see what they actually said some of these things include!

One of the things that intrigues me is the colour - advert says Ruby Red, though it's not the old Audi Ruby Red which was much darker. It's more like "Garnet Red" - but neither is listed in the current Option list - intrigued - and I guess at some point I'm going to have to figure it out so I can repair the odd mark!!

I don't think it has the "double glazing". I've read the various comments on here re wind noise etc. Does anyone know if it can be retrofitted?

The Spec line also told me I had "Under floor storage" - I had a Mini once with that - or at least that's what I thought the rust holes were!! Any clues??

I'm sure there'll be lot's more questions as I get to know the car!

Huge thanks to feeltheburn for the 2014 Brochure! Brilliant - RS246 members are the best!!

It's Classic red - and was an exclusive colour!!

More reading to do to see if I can find the "underfloor storage"!!

And another question - does the Sat Nav have speed camera warnings - or does my trusty Road Angel need to accompany me??

No speed camera warnings unless you make a map with them a POI's. Even then they will only show up on the map and not give an audible warning (although I do recall a conversation on here where something new revealed but I can't remember what that was, might have been an audible warning). Either was it sounded too complex to bother.

Hello Dave, good to see you’re stepping into the C7 world, you’ll love it. I’ve been here nearly two years now and still get a kick when behind the wheel.

You still using Camberley?
When you collecting?
