I understand the styling isn't to everyone's liking but not just for a front wheel drive but anything the handling and way it covers ground is unbelievable!
I think it's a marmite car ! I think they look really good in black
To be honest I think the other cars will have trouble keeping up with you in the Type R on twisty roads

My last 2 where black and I love the new one in black but always wanted a white one so went with that! Agree it's a marmite car for sure. The grey it comes in is stunning to b honest also....not sure there is a 'bad' colour having seen them all in the flesh. Been having a think lately that one in Nardo would look awesome with the black contrast that they have!!

On the Wales run a Megane R26 was stuck to my rear bumper in my 550PS / 680Nm F-TYPE R
That was a cracking day ! On some great roads. :thumbs:

I'm going to have to unfortunately back out at the last minute on this one :boohoo:

Got a knackered rear tyre sidewall today and won't have the time to get both rear tyres replaced before Friday evening.

Don't fancy risking a 700 mile drive on a dodgy tyre!!

Enjoy all - I'm sure it will be a brilliant drive

Yes, this 'Southern Softie' is not adverse to a bit of bad weather should there actually be any.

Audi are not having my car to work on as they couldn't provide me with an RS product for this weekend. There was no way, I was going to drive all that way in a rep spec TDi !!!
