Replaced my manual for a 2012 TT2 Volante
Had a call from Stratstone they had a hardly used volante just come in pop over to have a look.
Easy really a colour that will be easy to maintain low miles and FSH newer than I was thinking off.
However it's a Carbon Black Edition so I thought it was a worthy shout.
Managed to wangle a extra year warrant too.
Didn't even test drive just said ok!!

Drove it tonight for the first time and it's close to my BMW auto box but not exactly the same.
Did enjoy using the paddles takes me back To my Vantage just need to stop lifting off before gear change.
Trim levels are better and the sat nav is very up to date.
Seats are firmer and the roof is excellent.
B&O is very good but I think it needs tweaking.

Anyway before I get bked here's a couple for now!

It came a bit early for me and newer than I was budgeting for but I couldn't turn it down.
How many are going to come on the market with that type of mileage and mint condition and in Carbon?
Cheers and a happy bunny.
