............leads to much confusion :undecided:
I think I'm in love....with the TTS(http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t222/biarmampus/emoticon/love14.gif)(http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t222/biarmampus/emoticon/love14.gif)(http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t222/biarmampus/emoticon/love14.gif)
I've only seen the standard TT in the flesh, but the book on the TTS gives statistics that are hard to ignore.
245/40/18 tyres = extra grip
Standard 0-62 in 5.2 secs
4wd
Only 188g/km - so in the same group as the GTI for emissions
Xenons standard with DRL's
Audi magnetic ride - 'S' version - 10mm lower ride height
2 tone silk nappa leather
TTS enhanced braking system
Flat bottom MFSW standard
Quad exhausts
Somebody stop me quick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know what you mean Hurdy.I went as well before deciding on the GTI..Brother in law picked up his new white TT same day as me..Sweet

they are hairdressers cars though :embarassed:
-
haha.. i knew from that look on your face at the pod you were yearning for 4wd. TT's are a bit rainbow though mate, you'd need to change your name to 'Julian'.
-
LOL, thanks for that guys, I'm coming back down a bit now :cool:
*I wonder if the missi fancies a TTS*
no.....stop it....the voices in my head.......it hurts....must not succumb......

My old tennis coach was called Julian and had long curly hair, i'm sure he drives a TT :wink:

S3 doesn't do anything for you?

Somebody help meeeee.......................
-
S3 doesn't do anything for you?
It does, just not in the way the TTS does.
It's heavier
Suspension is less refined
Looks like all othe A3's
Only comes in manual (must have DSG)
225 section tyres = less grip
Standard power is less
Cannot specify Magnetic ride.

Hurdy the hairdresser....?

i didnt know you was that way inclined Hurdy :laugh: :evil:
-
They do have great stats! only promblem is other TT drivers (male) will probably be checking out your stats :wink:
Such a shame..
-
Plus you'd have to deal with Audi dealerships..... There a lot worse than the VW ones.
The only reason I sold my Audi 3.2 Quattro was because of the dealerships.
-
I think the only way for hurdy to go is R32 + Supercharger = Uber fast Golf + Happy Hurdy :grin:
-
Hmmmmmm........coming back down slowly.......more put offs required as I'm still looking at the brochure :embarassed:

Does look the shizzel tho :cool:
tbh if i could i probably would :lipsrsealed:
-
and available with DSG- MMmmmmm
I like it, the old was was a bit girly but the TTS looks much better.
Sorry Hurdy not much help I know :laugh:
-
Sorry guys but I kinda like it too :embarassed:
I personally don't think it's as 'hairdresser' as the MK1. At least this one handles......... :undecided:
-
No, no you're all supposed to be putting me off :shocked:
* goes back to comparing brochures*
R32 weight 1590kg manual
TTS weight 1415 kg (with DSG)
aaaaaarrrgh.....where that Audi number :evil:
-
Difference is you can get 5drs and stuff in the boot of the R32. You can forget all that with the tt. oh yeah.. did I mention a V6?? :grin:
Whats the list of the TTS?
-
That's just it though. The missis would be having either my ED30 or the TTS and I'll keep the ED30 :evil:.
Hehe,
Cheaper insurance too as My 3 points became 5yrs old plus yesterday :wink:
-
Throw a Milltek on it and give it a dose of APR, now there's a prospect :evil:
-

I've been thinking that all along.
300bhp plus in a 4wd 1400kg car with good suspension and a low centre of gravity :evil:
Nooooooo!
-
I feel for you Hurdy, I used to have an amulet red TT 225bhp roadster, and have heard all the hairdresser jokes before :wink: I also have the TTS brochure and am seriously contemplating it as opposed to a red GTI.
I have to chuckle when I hear the hairdresser quips, never did I get so much pussy attention from women as when I drove the roadster. Seriously.

Under no circumstances trade it up for the golf hurdy. It really is a hairdressers car, no matter how fast it goes, and the biggest thing of all mate, is ive seen you in the flesh, and trust me , you would look like a complete pillock.Is it just that its faster then your butterfly lady??? :laugh:

You may be right :embarassed:
I'm just finding it hard to resist.
It's either that or possibly sell the car and buy a....*whispers quietly* Nissan GT-R

Hey Hurdy
Please dont buy Japanese. VW/Audi are helping to save the planet :smiley: :wink:
-
Now your talking!!!
I've been thinking about selling my soul to make that purchase. :grin: :grin:
-
I guess it is just that I've been messing about with good sports hatches for that long I've not looked at a wider picture. I wish I'd taken a look at that Turbo'd R32 on Pistonheads now :lipsrsealed: :embarassed:
-
Hurdy, when i went and collected "Phylis" the ed30 on friday ( the wife calls it not me) i was looking at the evo 10, with double clutch same as the lovelly DSG. u might wanna go have a look at one of those, good size and has all the bells n wistles, mind you,£32000 , u havent got kiddies so boot size wont be a problem for you CUS IT HAS A MASSIVE SUB WOOFER WHICH FILLS HALF OF IT! :wink:
-
Considering youv mentioned it i think i would wait for the Nissan GT-R..another thing about kids is at the moment you may not have any but you never know what might happen in the future :smiley:
TTS is really nice but im sure its nothing compared to the GT-R and practicality of it cant be close to the ED30 :smiley:
-
2 fabulous cars :smiley:
TTS , lovely and with a remap :evil: I'd def get one
GTR different planet again , and given the stats :shocked:
I dont think youd be disappointed with either tbh
-
There might be a 4 door GT-R according to some websites. Whether it will be released in blighty is another thing
-
aparently, ive read that the GTR has sold out its allocation already to the UK. i wonder if hurdys on the mitsubishi website yet???? :laugh:
-

I think I remember someone saying it was way over priced (topher possibly) and that he could turbo his for a lot less. Would be alot more fun to do it yourself too. 450bhp sounds like a nice number to me :evil:
(Just in case anyone is wondering... I am secretly trying to get someone else to turbo their R32 to save myself from doing it!)
-
I think i'll probably keep the ED30 come what may :cool:and see just how far I can take a road legal FWD car :evil:
The missis is tempted with a house move and so my bonus would be a larger garage/s and flat drive and whatever we don't spend would go on a new motor :smiley: I just hope she....errr...we don't spend it all :wink:
-
i know that feeling :embarassed:

I like the car, but as not 5dr its not practical but then its not meant to be lol!
but those alloys are so corsa vxr to me.
-
yeh, those alloys are horrid
-
1. If you want female attention get one (not sure how the miss'es would feel about that)
2. If your miss'es is going to drive it 99% of the time then get it
3. If you like looking at men then get one (again, not sure how the miss'es will think about this)
4. If you want people to think your a hairdresser then get one
5. If you've got money to burn then get one.
:smiley:
1. If you want a "mans" car then get the R32 / S3
2. If you want a drivers car then get the R32/ S3
3. Add a remap
4. Smile

R36 golf Hurdy, id wait for the selection on the mk6, or maybe a hot Iroc later this year?
-
and what about that SLK, that's a nice car too! :wink:
-
its a mercedes, they are sh%te
guaranteed to go wrong and fall to bits later, and depreciate like mad
And driven by idiots that think they own the road.
sorry hate them all, had too many run ins with Merc drivers.
-
On the road price of £35,000 :sick:
-
I know, my friend has an AMG CLS and half his dashboard eletronics stopped working, luckily it was the passenger half. How insane is that? Air con, stereo, electric mirrors, electric seats that kind of thing.
My friend is a really good driver though, just poor taste in cars IMHO
-
Hahahahaha,
Just specced up the car to how I would like it (not including any modifications)
£40715 :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:
-
+ £500 remap, £500 haldex controller, £1200 exhaust + cats, £200 intake.. 2 grand on carbon bits?
just get an evo.. lol
-
Nissan GT-R now there's a nice car - shame the price tag for the UK doubles from what it would be in Japan.
No offence to the R32 boys but whats the point saying 'just get an R32' why when he has the Ed30 already :puts-on-R32-flame-suit:

R32 £20k..ish + turbo kit £10K(and a few other bits) = 400+bhp 4WD V6 sound 5drs (and all the comfort of a golf) :evil: :evil:
-
Can you seriously turbo an R32 ? Why don't VW do this then as a special :rolleyes:

That video is quality, listening to that yorkshire bloke in the BMW Z4 say "i f$ckin give up" is priceless :laugh:

I doubt you find many "hairdressers" driving round in a MK2 TT, especially on the order book for a TTS. I used to own a MK1 TT and I don't see hairdressing on my CV - although I reckon I could give someone a number 4 :nerd:
IMO Scirocco looks boring compared to MK2 TT - TTS just rocks and I reckon a lot of people on here would have one if given the chance and you would all be on the TT forum slaggin off Golf drivers :grin:
-
Is that how all BMW drivers are in the UK? He sounds like a f*cking tosser! Also seems really excited that hes getting his arse whooped bu an R32! :cool:

I know a few BMW owners, and have to say, yep, the ones I know are tossers. One especially who drives a 330 Convertible, Black :wink:

*I wonder if the missi fancies a TTS*
Its funny youn say that. Boss at work is selling his Mrs 3.2 A3 (basicaly an R32 in an A3 shape) for a TTS. It does look nice, but as others have said its a TT and its for the Mrs and not for you !
-
He's even got gay music on :grin: :grin: :grin:
3. 2. 1. lets cut some hair!!!!!
-
LOL everyone used to accuse me of being a hairdresser when I had a TT. In the summer with the top down, you do getta lot of female attention..all good!
-
Oh yeah the Roadster is a hairdressers car (especially the 150 or 180!) - thats why I had the 225 coupe :grin:
Anyone for some highlights...
