Re: My A1 (to be) Thread

Really nice

Loving the interior especially.

I saw a white one of these local to me, with weird exterior grey and red detailing. Is that a special edition/option from new Laura?

Oh found it, it was one of these, horrendous lol

Yours is so much better, but not a fan of the wheels. I sort of feel that most manufacturers seem to speccing halfords special wheels lately.

Love it.

Please let me make you a new watermark for your pics though. You could drive a bus through your current kerning.

I love that you're worried about kerning on a watermark!

My mate's got an Ibis White S-Line, Laura. Looks spot on but I think I prefer yours as it looks way more subtle.

I'm polishing his next month so I'll get some practice for yours.

Re: My A1 (to be) Thread

Black is by far the better colour choice IMO.

Once the white fad is over (again) no one will want a white one. The black is so much less "look at me" too.

 

[Laura]

Re: My A1 (to be) Thread

they dont do ibis on the a1, will be glacier i imagine. they do a horrible amalfi white tho... hope its not that.

hahaha i polished mine last night... full of swirm marks already... no idea how tho :s

Re: My A1 (to be) Thread

Interior is unreal!

 

[Laura]

Re: My A1 (to be) Thread

doing a little bit of research 0-60 times its 0.9 seconds slower to 60 than a 172... i think thats pretty reasonable tbh.

 

[Christopher]

Re: My A1 (to be) Thread

A second is a fair chunk of time when it's only to 60mph. I'd imagine the 0-100 would be vastly different too.

You didn't buy it to be quick though. lol

 

[Laura]

Re: My A1 (to be) Thread

nah i didnt i just feels unexpectedly nippy haha.

still lovong it, average mpg is 49 atm getting stuck in traffic every single day compared to the z4 getting 22 on the same drive im happy with that motorways its getting 61ish, amazing.

Its cetrainly loosening up too.
Over the moon, just need to shift the 320 now

Re: My A1 (to be) Thread

Its a nice bus. Are the wheels the same as the A3 Black Edition? Quite like them tbh.

 

[Laura]

Re: My A1 (to be) Thread

same design, different offset and stuff, il love the ones off the A5, propper concave... humm.... goes off to check off sets

 

[Laura]

Re: My A1 (to be) Thread

[Christopher]

Re: My A1 (to be) Thread

[Laura]

Re: My A1 (to be) Thread

Thanks

 

[Christopher]

Done!

 

[Adam.]

Re: My A1 (to be) Thread

thanks guys

i need a 172 to compare it to, it really do feel its as quick... i could be horribly wrong but id like to see haha

Would be interested to see this too.

I've got a A3 Black Edition with the 170 S-tronic engine and there is nothing in it with a 172(Clio stu in his shanflower) until about 100 when the Audi starts pulling ever so slightly.

 

[Laura]

well today its been super guarded and then dodo juice supernatural wax on top of that, uber shiney now... like a proper new car, i didn't have time to wash it last week when it got it and then threw some polish on mid week in a rush so this is really its 1st proper going over looks amazing, have noticed a couple of tiny scratches tho must have been from the factory

 

[Jason_E]

I want one But every time I spec one up how I like it's over £20k. FFFFUUUUU!

 

[Laura]

yeah this one is £21.5k, even then i would have liked the super sport seats, hearted seats, heated electric mirrors and cruise control haha

 

[NFox]

Looks fantastic

 

[leeds_182]

Nice but 21k........that's big money.

 

[Chili Red]

Very good-looking car! Love it :approve:

 

[Laura]

thanks

 

[Gally]

You went mental and bought Black. Get used to seeing scratches.

I guarantee you won't buy a black car again.

 

[Christopher]

I guarantee she'll be bored of it before Le Mans. lol

A1-16 by laurataylor225, on Flickr

That is gorgeous tbh!

Love nice interiors!

 

[zedx19]

Did I read this right, 21k? Mental money for a small car? Can't you get cars like Scirroco's, Octavia VRS for this sorta money new?
