Well after almost 4 years of ownership I've today sold the car and parted ways. What I can I say, it's been a great car and hasn't once missed a heartbeat. Yes it's had the usual VW rattles but apart from that it's been thourghly enjoyable ownership experience and will be sadly missed. Anyway, a few pics of her a couple of hours before she left  :cry: :cry:

Looking forward to seeing pictures of your new pride and joy :smiley: I regretted letting my Audi go, it had been a faithful family member for 12 years and I'm always thinking fondly of it but it's great having something new especially when it's this good.

Although I loved the car, coming from a similarly powered TT it didn't give me that wow factor in terms of performance which I'm hoping the R will do. Also it was the right time to change for me financially as getting on for four years it was only going to keep losing value and as I like to buy my cars outright I didn't want the potential sell on price continuing to fall

Will do pal. Can't wait to collect it now. It's been pretty quick to be fair, only ordered on 10th May so will be just about 10 weeks when it gets delivered

It's relatively basic James, 5dr DSG, lapis blue, gloss black mirrors and 90% tints. The fact you get a bigger basic Nav screen and winterpack as standard means I didn't really need anything else. Would have perhaps liked the prets but didn't want to pay another grand for them when I don't mind the Cadiz too much

Pretoria silver alloys
