but his car was parked in Southwark Street, London about 5.30pm this evening, as I walked passed.

Spotted a mile off with the wheels & AmD stickers.
No sig, no RS4 anymore

Dave,

A long story mate, but it involved buying a new business, reducing my tax burden etc. I was also so busy at work plus the fact that the wife bought a people carrier and it just ended up sitting in the garage.

So i decided to get something smaller to blat around in at the weekends.. gone with a V6 TT, but quite fancy a 350T TVR now.. but we'll see..
Cheers
Dave

I dropped into the local dealers last Friday and asked if there was a chance of a drive in the new TT. They had just received a delivery of new demo vechiles and I was handed the keys to a brand new car to take for a spin (87 miles on the clock). Thank you very much, I'll see you in a half an hour or three. Had a play with the paddles on the column and the changer on the main gate but it all got a bit confusing remebering which way was up and down the box. I'm sure with a little more time it would become instinctive. The remainder of the drive I left it in the fully automatic 'drive' or 'sport' mode. I like the way it changes up a gear mid corner, there is no break in accleration yet all your other senses tell you that it has gone up a cog - nice! You would never fluff a quick start from the lights either, I should image that repetetive 0-60/ 0-100 times for this car are very close each time. Long term ownership of this car though I'm not so sure about, you would become a very lazy driver (operating the clutch is the only work out my left leg gets) and I enjoy having every limb doing something towards driving a car. Theres something telling me though that an rs4 with one of these dsg type boxes would be awesome.

Vinny.
