Oh dear, i've bought an Audi ...

[Sir_Dave]

Cue the jokes/haters/roflcopters :rasp:

Yup, the gearbox isnt overly precise, the steering isnt very positive & the engine sounds like a washing machine, but its a lovely place to sit & certainly better than a Fabia VRS.

Spec wise, its in a pretty rare colour (mauritius blue), with silver leather, BOSE, xenons, climate, heated seats, etc, etc, all the usual standardish features, makes it a very comfy place for my 90 mile commute. Seems to average 34mpg compared to 37 in the clio, so not the end of the world ...

Anyway, some pictures.

Prior to viewing on Saturday, in the p1ssing rain:

From the PH advert:

Then this morning, sat next to Sarah's TT lol:

And Trophy over in the corner, now relegated to track days & sunny sundays only:

Shame the other Trophy went last week really, 2 x Trophies & 2 x TT's would have been vaguely amusing

 

[fUbAr]

Nice colour. Ours is identical with the silver leather but with red paint.

 

[Englebert]

They are good looking cars but the fact there are about five in my work car park makes them dissolve into the background to me. I'd have to modify it, just so it looked different to all of the others.

 

[Gally]

Shark leather made Jesus Cry!

Looks good matey, I could have swore you said you wouldn't buy one as Sarah had one!

Great choice though the cabin is such a nice place to be.

 

[Laura]

still like them, just not for me any more.


good buy... how much if u dont mind me asking

 

[Hixle]

I'll give it two months

Joking aside, it looks great mate - I quite liked the one I drove tbh and the interior is a lovely place to be.

 

[Ali]

Very nice! A scccotttisshhhh number plate. Instantly makes it worth more.

 

[JD]

I love the colour. Hate the wheels though buddy. Get rid, maybe for some of these;

In fact, fancy a swap

 

[JD]

Oh and 225 I presume? Otherwise, I'll slate you.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Oh and 225 I presume? Otherwise, I'll slate you.

Of course it is!! Even im not that homo

Gally - yeah, i did say that, Sarah wasnt overly impressed tbh, she saved for years for hers lol, then i go & buy one on a complete whim!!

Scotland - is it really? Didnt realise that, will have to put it on pistonheads.sc when it comes to selling then, get a wee bit more dollar for it

 

[DynamoDave]

Trophy looks quite menacing in the background!

Not a bad car to do a commute in to be fair.

As an only car I think it would be a fail but with that and the trophy you have something fun so you will actually enjoy wafting along in something boring. That's my thinking with my latest setup.

Tried a car that does both, practical AND fun but it always seems to fall short on both criteria so having both means like me...you might keep them for more than 5 mins lol

 

[Christopher]

I thought you were a keen driver?

I suppose it's alright for a commuter. Like you say, it beats a Labia vRS... although they have better steering.

 

[Ali]

^ PMSL!!!!!!! Soon as i seen you'd comment i know what it would say!!! Blah blah blah! The 182 steering is avg at best and with Gaz coils...lol. Mincey Very mincey!

 

[Christopher]

A standard 182... not mine (since it's all about teh looks, sugar) has brilliant steering. As does my Twingo. The R26 also manages it, despite using an electric rack.

MI5 steering FTL.

 

[Ali]

Do people still say FTL?

 

[Christopher]

I'll stop using it when you savages stop deep-frying your Christmas dinner.

 

[BoroGTI]

Nothing wrong with Audis.......apart from TT's

 

[mat-nos]

lol at his/hers tt's....

looks v nice though, any plans fo it??

 

[Christopher]

Fit autopilot. Remove steering wheel. Install hot tub.

 

[Ali]

I'll stop using it when you savages stop deep-frying your Christmas dinner.

Oi, don't tar us all with the same brush!

 

[lbrench]

interior looks comfy

 

[Budgie]

Two months?! I give it two weeks!

As said, the HomoMobile looks alright..

 

[Timi]

Im looking at one of these at the moment for the missus, just a shame she is so fussy, black or silver, not red leather etc, pain in the arse! lol

 

[_Tom]

Used to hate them now i love them. I want one.

 

[Sir_Dave]

lols at all the predictable comments, although tbh id make the same ones if this was someone elses thread - especially the homoness of having the same car as your missus :gaysmiley :slap:

Serves its purpose though, nice & comfy, not a diesel, well priced

 

[Christopher]

How much did he pay you for it?

 

[Rob]

Looks great for the commute, I'm getting quite annoyed of being stuck in traffic in the ph1. I want something similar, but a company motor may be on the cards after Christmas so we'll see.

Only thing I really don't like is the grey leather, no it's not silver, it's grey and it reminds me of an ph1 172 exclusive. Black just looks so much more sophisticated

 

[JD]

How much did he pay you for it?

This, PM if necessary. Mileage etc

 

[SaraJ]

I like it! But them i'm a girl :rasp:

Nah, seriously, i do like. 'His & Hers' is cool

 

[Sir_Dave]

Grey leather :dead:

Blacks nice, & ages better, but due to the high side/small windows, makes it feel al little like a coal bunker imho. Silvers much better, makes the whole cabin feel a lot lighter as well i think!

 

[DrR]

I like em! Reckon you could fit a bike in the back?

 

[JD]

Grey leather :dead:

Blacks nice, & ages better, but due to the high side/small windows, makes it feel al little like a coal bunker imho. Silvers much better, makes the whole cabin feel a lot lighter as well i think!

Agreed.

But I still hate silver leather. Red? Yus. Red leather, silver car. Moist.

 

[Gally]

Red leather/ Dolomite grey.


Win.

 

[Laura]

i wanted red leather in the z4.. red leather silver or black car! nom noms!!!

 

[Sir_Dave]

Red leather - you sure?

:eyesbleedingsmiley

 

[_Tom]

Red leather nimbus grey TT please..

 

[Rob]

Grey leather :dead:

Blacks nice, & ages better, but due to the high side/small windows, makes it feel al little like a coal bunker imho. Silvers much better, makes the whole cabin feel a lot lighter as well i think!

You're wrong, sorry. :rasp:

Silver leather just screams old BMW or worst Clio interior ever to me.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Silver leather just screams old BMW

Ah yes, but i

old bmw's

 

[Gally]

Rob is always right.

 

[fUbAr]

Grey leather :dead:

Completely agree about black. Ours has silver leather and it's on 102,000 miles now... still looks fresh and not too much wear.
