I'm not sure if I mentioned that the police have caught 2 of the 3 that got into my house. They are linking them to at least 5 other car key robberies they know about. It is linked to a much bigger operation so might be linked to this one.

I actually test drove a GTD on Saturday, but afterwards also drove the GT 140. I would still be a little concerned about having the GTD to be honest. I'm going to drive a few other cars this week and make a final decision next week. By which time the cheque from esure will probably have arrived. I need to set my sights a bit lower now really becuase the cost of insurance is going to be a lot higher.

Outside my work yesterday was a brand new 5 door Audi A1 S Line in black with 18" alloys (without the two tone colour roof option which I'm not keen on) like the picture below. Its the first one I've seen in the flesh and tbo I thought it looked really nice, well built and sporty (it makes the polo look pants in comparision imo).

My sisters other half is a senior technician for Audi and had a drive of this model last week and really rated it. He commented on how nippy it was for a 1.4 engine).

Anyway I had a little flirt with one on the Audi site and the car is also pretty good value.
i.e. A1 S line 1.4 TFSI 6 speed @ 16,570.00 GBP 
I added on some nice options i.e. 18" alloys, leather and sat nav and the price came out @ 20,645 GRB





Anyway you may or may not like it, its just a suggestion.....  :undecided:...... Queue the abuse from my fellow GTi lovers  :grin: :evil:




5 door A1? You sure about that mate? :huh:
I've only seen one, all black and gleaming, looked superb!

That car isn't red, it's a nice colour.  When I say red I mean bright bright red.

Look what happens when you mention red. Justification enough if you ask me
