Considering I moved from the Audi A3 S line Sport Back 150BHP I was ready to order for the GTD and mainly due to thinking I would miss the performance getting at present, then this video is an interesting look as it seems I would have not missed too much at all in reality.

But do I feel like made a hasty decision then? Well with the new frame and 184BHP driving the GTD then no, think I made a very good one still :)

Well it was such a nice night tonight that I took the opportunity to go out and wash the car. It reminded me how much i'm going to miss those curves when the time comes to part company with her  :cry: :cry:

However, it has also reconfirmed by decision to stay away from black this time as it is nightmare to keep clean.  :angry: :angry:

If it was just me to consider then could have had an S Line TT 1.8 TSi as do really like them and there is the evidence right there! It has been bad enough having a 3 Door but think asking passengers to fold down to 3ft high is maybe asking too much ;) - Think the car I have specced now is borne from experience of all niggles and annoyances had with others and my overall experience is going to be superb with it as they get removed.

My previous was Phantom Black, dusty all the time! and present in Brilliant Black just loves the dirt, and more so a bird mess magnet it seems! But not much looks better than black when given the full treatment :) But that rarely happens with me.
