Settling down for the long wait

Thanks Boff. So how was the bank holiday weekend? You manage to get to where you wanted to go?

Yea I really like the red calipers and black mirror caps, its something different

[Outtlaw]

That look superb miatang, black mirrors look the part against the suzuka

Love Suzuka looks great!! Black mirrors look so much better than the silver ones IMO
Good choice

Big day alert!!! Nastro you've waited more patiently than miatang and i, we've got great cars - i'm soo looking forwards to seeing yours.

The great thing about the b8 is the fact that you could spec a car that is very personal to you, some awesome b8's

I'm 300 miles away from mine, and missing it!!! These are superb cars

Thanks for all your kind comments, what i love:

Interior, but seats want me to lose weight!!! Super comfy, and for me super beautiful

Adaptive cruise, something else - very clever (much better than the rrs i had it on last)

The "you're toooo close" red light, reminds you to not be an arse

The panoramic roof just rocks

My 6 year old thinks it sounds like a sports car

The engine and gearbox combo is unbelievable - that's what makes it all work - gearbox is super clever, allows the torque to not matter. Bhp and revs are king

The steering wheel is stunning

I love my wheels

How do i keep it clean? Doesn't matter the dirty black looks evil and even more understated.

Things i wouldn't worry about having:

Lane assist, freaks me out - funny for a while, daft for longer.

Advanced key - i put the key in the std a4 slot where a press starts it anyway

Mines done 700 amazing miles over the weekend, 3 tanks of fuel, ave 22.8, its ok.... Small car though guys!!!

I'll start a new thread with a few photos over the weekend.

On the whole, i love my car!!!!

[nastro azzurro]

Got it today.
Absolutely love it!!
Pictures in a couple of days chaps!

Cars coming up to 1000 miles soon and decided to give it a bit more gas.

Does anyone else find it really addictive taking the car to 8250rpm

[PetrolDave]

There's nothing quite like the sound of a V8 doing 8000+rpm

OH yeah, the excitement of going up the revs is only enhanced by the exhaust note coming back down
