Kris, be a trail blazer and not a keyboard warrior - it's not everyone else's job to provide evidence for you and make up your mind for you! put your money where your mouth is - sometimes you just have to find these things out yourself, but you've been in an S3 with the oettinger pipe and you...

well I did manage to get a bunch of laps in different cars, from MK II Golfs to a new 911T, so it was a pretty awesome day! We drove to Amsterdam that night after the ring anyway! (The Netherlands sux - low speed limits and many many cameras - almost as bad as Australia!)

Thanks for the directions. I didn't get them until now (3:30am in singapore and way jetlagged ) but the sat nav got us there! I saw my bag go through the scanner in Frankfurt and all the metal brackets and plates were really obvious and the guy was zooming in and scratching his head for a...

Guys, The Nurburgring is open all day this Sunday and I am going to be there... Would be good to see the likes of Blue and Loys and Drill (and whoever else is in the region) coming along to join in the fun! We are driving a silver E Class Benz (German plates DN-SKxxxx) and probably won't take...

yeah! My Logitech MOMO wheel works perfectly on all the good PS2 driving sims as well

Hi all, I was lucky enough to attend an Audi Experience Drive Day yesterday... I put together some thoughts and pictures etc, so if you're interested, have a look It was a great day. http://IML337.com/audiexperience Cheers, Tim

Thanks... The MINI is great. It's better than the A3 in some areas, and worse in others. Rates way higher on the grin factor scale, but isn't as sophisticated as an Audi... I can understand why you bought an S2k though - they are an awesome drive, but way more impractical than even a MINI...

well, not really... I've probably been hanging around longer than most actually (I go back to the audiworld.com A3 forum days ) but since I swapped my A3 for a Cooper S last year I've been distracted... Anyway, hopefully some people still remember me - I'll be hanging around a bit from now on...

I can't rememebr what systems UK spec cars get as "standard" as you say, but a mate has an MY01 S3 with the Bose system we get here in Aus, and all he did was swap the Bose head unit for one of the higher end Sony MP3 units, and the difference was nothing short of amazing. I honestly didn't...

I found the option prices reasonable compared to other brands of cars, and even against what the same options cost on a cooper. We don't get the One in aus... ended up ticking all boxes except heated seats for my S I got the extra warranty and servicing too, but I spent almost AUD$60k (about...

OK Drill, you've confused me now... but if you're talking about me surprising other cars with bigger engines, I had a rolling start from 100km/h to 160km/h on a motorway in 4th gear against a guy in a 5 litre V8 commodore (1997 model, about 170kW I think) and it was dead even all the way. He...

Standard answer: I work for IBM as a Janitor (for strangers who ask too many questions) Real answer: I work for IBM doing Internet, Network and Application Security for one of the big aussie banks

I'm willing to bet there are plenty of other things visible in the logs that would make someone who surfed audi-sport for 8 hours a day look like a saint
