Boring update but I've been racking up the mileage recently; done nearly 2,000 in the last 5 weeks alone........

Prepped my winters ready to go on and got two new tyres







Bring on the snow  :laugh: :laugh:

Winter tyres, meh... I like not having any control of my cars in the winter, more fun.  Just don't look at the bottom of corner of my dailys front bumper!  :grin:  :lipsrsealed:

Carbon will look  :cool: Damn, how annoying that you were so close to the 200 bhp mark, there must be something that you can tweak to get it.  :grin:

Carbon mirrors aren't happening sadly  :sad:  Not Matt's fault but the factory sent him the wrong covers; think they were for a different model of Audi  :sad:

As for the 200bhp mark, I think its over it as that run was done with inlet temps around the 30C mark  :shocked:  In the recent colder mornings the car has definitely felt more lively which would suggest its running just past the 200bhp mark  :evil:

Will have to see what next year brings  :lipsrsealed:

5 litre v10, 309 BHP with 627 ft·lbf of torque out of the box...  :cool: RWD conversion would be required and possibly a bonnet bulge but you'll get it in..  :grin:
