Got to Spa, now sat in a hot tub with a beer, looking forward to an interesting weekend 
Said goodbye to the GTI today, picked up an S1 in Vegas yellow, I'll try n post a few pics later.
The GTI was my favourite car to date by some stretch, just fancied something different and 4wd.
Initial thoughts on the 150 mile return journey, the S1 feels quicker, sounds a lot better, seats aren't as comfortable / supportive but it is finished better inside as expected. It's got most of the big ticket options - leather, bose, 18's, nav, keyless, comfort pack, so is a bit better equipped than my vanilla GTI pp. Can't comment on handling yer as it was all boring A roads on the way back but in dynamic mode the car rides a lot stiffer than my non DCC GTI.
Get some pics up and keep us posted how you're getting on with the car.
Cool car and you certainly don't see many about.
