Looks great. Thanks for posting.

I think you are getting confused between a new car and a stupid colour. The car looks good because it is new, not because it is in Kermit green, which just doesn't suit the Audi lines etc. Red or blue do, but will have to see if they can shift it.

-1 If anything it's the other way round.

That Audi is a fabulous colour on a very dull car.

Probably one of the best looking A3s I've ever seen, but that's not saying a great deal.

Part of me thinks I shouldn't be posting these in here, and they should be in the decently modified thread....

I thought that Robins had a bit of a reputation for rolling quite easily. If so that convertible looks a worrying with no roll bar!

who thought kermit green would work on a Audi, it just looks wrong. A sirocco looks good but not the S3.

Am I right in assuming someone paid £thousands for one of those factory individual paint jobs?

And me. Great choice of colour.

Me too, I rather like that and something different in a general sea of silver, black and grey cars (though red seems to be on the up).

I used to follow an almost identical car home in the summer...I wonder how many S3's in that colour are running about?

12 year old Clio for £35,000, anyone?

Perhaps not a 'horror' but it shocked me!

Calling it a 12 year old Clio is a little misleading albeit true.

its only got 1000 miles on it!

car is epic but they always seemed 'slow' to me given the size of the engine and the size of the car!

I used to agree with that... But my daily is around the same speed and I find it adequate to have fun on both road and track - so sort of forgive the Clio a little.

Probably should have been around the 300bhp mark instead in hindsight.

Yeh, you should have been able to describe that clio as 'mental' in the same way you'd talk about the 205 T16, metro 6R4 or the R5 turbo 2 but it was just luke warm with the bodykit writing cheques the engine and drivetrain couldn't hope to cash.

Such a shame, really lovely looking car.

Someone lend one a couple of turbos please.

Not sure if this has already been posted or not but after looking at the rusting Jaguar XF thread, this was linked at the bottom. What do we think?

2003 JAGUAR X TYPE V6 AWD ONE OF A KIND

I particularly love "This car is very fast and powerful so not for the faint hearted", followed by "It has 196 bhp".

"in the region of 200bhp" talk about definitive bhp output
