I was told the rear brakes are fine. I guess they work like a Clio Cups. As in they do sod all.
Dampers are leaking. TBH they don't ride very well, the Mag Dampers I had on the F type were miles better.
Car serviced. Inspection, Oil Change and spark plugs for £295 a full £280 less than Audi wanted initially.
But I need a tyre on the front due to sidewall damage, luckily I have a 235/35/19 P Zero kicking around so I'll get that on and its good to go.
And......
It need four new magnetic...
That's the issue with those plans. 5 years or 50k miles. In both cases you only get 2 services. Which is a bit of a kick in the balls when an oil change and an inspection cost you £535 each.
Audi have caved in and mated my specialists quote. Oil change and inspection for £165.
Cheeky £225...
Just got a price of £165 for the service and inspection from a local specialist. Audi are investigating it as proper parts may not be used... The only actual part used in the service is an oil filter lol
No one answered the service desk at two dealers after calling 4 times. The one dealer I did get through to couldn't give me a price!
JCT600 have just emailed me saying it'll be £371 for an oil change and to look at it! f**k that.
The standard previous gen R8 V10 (not the plus model) was one of the most disappointing sounding cars I've driven.
The plus model was a lot better and the current gen sound good but only at the top end when you get the V10 wail.
Hit a piece of wood on the M-way. Needs the front and back bumpers painting now.
Also due its first service and inspection. Joy.
Still fast as f**k like though.
That is true. I'm reasonably high up in the company I work for and if I turned up in something knackered it wouldn't look good.
Although I'm odd and don't look at BMW and Audi etc as high end brands now, they are just the norm here.
To be fair, only 20% of my 30k a year is on the M-way. I'm all country side based so I do get to use the RS3 properly.
But I think in the same situation I'd hang my self in a 3.20 etc, whereas a RRS has that something special about it. I've done around 1000 miles in the one above and I loved...
But....
I've been in that situation. When I had the Alfa as a company car these were what I ran beside it:
MK Indy R1 Kit car
Boxster S
TVR Tamora
None of those got used at all, and it was just another set of costs for no reason. I probably did around 4000 miles combined in all of them.
Driving the RRS takes the stress of driving totally away, which is nice. Its quite quick for what it is too.
Depends on what I can make on the RS3. I've offered it to a few garages in cornershop land!
I'd always planned on selling it at 24 months old, not 12. But the house move has changed...
