That looks awesome in the flesh, can't wait to see my first.
My dealer is not getting one in for a while, i think a roadtrip maybe on the cards, anyone know of any within 50 miles of Birmingham sitting in a showroom?

Thanks for posting the pics as well.

David, you're making the assumption that you were **popular** in the first place :assflash:

Quite right. Not a fan of Pirellis either really but according to Jan Becker (Audi development driver) who drove us all round Donnington in the yellow one in December, these were specially designed for the car in conjunction with pirelli. Probably just means they'll cost a b****y fortune to replace :D Have to say though, even after a day thrashing it round Donnington, they hadn't scuffed up that much. If it had been me driving I'd have killed them for certain :bash: Jan did very modestly point out it was probably the driving style :bowdown:

Did they run the same set all day though ? There were a few sets in the truck.

It was one set, but he did come off on the last session with me in the car..... Showing me the outside line, and all of a sudden we are in the gravel!!

The most concerning thing was that he didn't manage to shake me off while I was following him..... He even indicated to let me past. My sensible side tells me he was being nice.
