I finally took delivery of my car on Wednesday late afternoon. Damnit this car is quick! Here's a few pics I took today    I have been looking for a worthy replacement for my 2.0 CSX and the decision to buy something other than an Opel was not an easy one for me. After doing major research I decided on the A3 1.8T. In std form they are quick, and they are one of the easiest motors to get a decent amount of extra kw's without too much hassle and money. The more I drive this beast the more respect I have for it.... The best of all is that it's costing me less in installment, insurance and most of all fuel. In December I want to de-cat and fit a 63mm powerflow system, next year I'm looking at a Frieling chip, still haven't decided whether to go for a larger intercooler though.

Hard to find reliable renovators these days! We had our bathroom done 3 years ago, not only did they realize AFTER tiling the one wall that it needed screeding (had to remove all tiles, screed and re-tile with new tiles) they also broke my sink in the process and tried to hide the fact!
Never again!!
