*cuke. Auto spell, blooming thing.

You tyre kicking again cake ? It was Mercedes last time I believe. Have fun.

@DJAlix I think you may need to read the OP’s post again. He was singing your praises I believe.

Thanks for that, just what I was wanting to hear. I’ve sat in one and was very impressed with the interior quality and then I drove it and was even more impressed with the performance. Overall a very tasty package and quite understated in the looks department which really appeals to me. Out of...

The one I test drove was red and I'm not normally a fan of red cars but this one looked pretty good to be honest. There's not a lot of choice colour wise, quite limited in fact which is a bit of a let down. I'm popping into the local main dealer to have a look at a silver one, I'll see if that...

Thanks for that, very enjoyable viewing. If I was 20 years younger it’s something I would definitely consider but it’s a bit too extreme for me now. I’m a sheep not a shepherd unfortunately, I want to blend in with the flock and not stand out from it. The Skoda seems understated but with a good...

I’ve had my fingers burnt before with the DSG. Turned out to be very costly and not an experience I’m comfortable repeating. I know people rave about them but I’d rather stick with a manual gearbox.

I'm looking to pay about £22000, for that I should be able to get hold of a pre-reg, it seems to be the going rate on Auto Trader. There might be some better deals in the new year, I'm in no particular rush and can wait until the right one comes along. It's definitely got to be the manual...

Not really looked at other brands, to be honest I’d rather stay within the VAG group mainly down to past experience and confidence in the group. I’ve just taken a test drive in the Octavia and was very impressed overall, especially with the power, it really surprised me just how quick it was...

My beloved A3 has just turned 3 years old and my thoughts are now on which car to go for next. Ideally I’m after something with a bit more power but would prefer a petrol engine with a manual gearbox, sadly there’s not much choice in the Audi range at the moment which meets this criteria. The...

I would imagine your local dealerships will be erecting the razor wire and machine gun nests as we speak lol . Seriously though, I believe you’ve never really been too keen on Mercedes, citing inferior quality interiors as a major flaw. You do seem to hold the Fiesta in high regard, why not give...

An Independence Day, now that sounds good. How about tomorrow?

@Rog you have been warned. Ignore the manual at your peril :yes:

I’ve found this highly creditable. Above and beyond the call of duty and an excellent read. https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/pirelli-tyre-defects-response.382143/

Haha....good lad.
