One of the cheap lease deals i'm guessing? Looks great.

Still can't believe rear parking sensors aren't standard on a £35,000 car though!!

Because Audi.



It's a superb looking car and I bet it goes damn well also. Lovely!

thank you - it doesn't feel as eager as the Golf R at the moment. can't wait for it to loosen up a little.

Is that the grey people call primer grey? The lighter version? I saw one near us last night, sounded very fruity... my Mrs liked the colour anyway! This too was a 5 door, very new and shiny... enjoy OP

Dunno... it's official title is nano-grey - it is very shiny so not matt in the slightest - i imagine when it's dirty it'd look quite dull..

Google images suggests it is the same as we saw last night, it looked very light under the bright street lights last night, good choice of colour imo!

ROFL! I thought you couldnt be serious, turns out its true.

The thing is, theyll carry on doing it as they can clearly get away with it.


Nice car OP, be careful reversing!

Not just that they're not standard, they're a £425 option!!!

Do us a favour fella?

Those vents want aligning the temperatures changes to either 20.0 or 22.0.

Pics required to aid sleeping patterns. There's a pal.

ill see what i can do for you

BTW, what's up with poor 21 ?

[stewies_minion]

It's an odd number so has no business being on a car's heating controls.

You wouldn't like mine then. Drivers side usually 19.5 and passenger anything between 20 and 23.

Nice car by the way OP.

They spent all the money on making the car do this instead:

Lucky you, I leap out in the dark as quickly as possible to avoid anyone seeing it.

The main question however, have you tried the launch control yet?

is there no way to turn them off? - im thinking mine must be disabled.. ill check under the door today when i leave work to see if the gubbins is there.. take a pic to compare.

Launch control - no... is it the same as the R?

Wait for it to warm up
all traction systems completely off
Gearbox in sport.
left foot heavy on the brake
right foot flat down on the throttle
revs will hold automatically at around 4500rpm

Release Brake..

Smile lots?

[Terminator X]

Nope

In dynamic, stop/start turned off, traction control off. Left foot on brake, right on accelerator, holds rev at 4k. Go

They've stolen that straight off my Mustang (it does have reversing sensors and a camera though )

Or maybe everyone stole the idea from MB? I've a mare with a 350GLE and the lights under the mirrors are the complete MB logo.
