    S3 gone :(

    End of lease for the S3, down to just the one car now... Need another car for around town, struggling to think of what to get but might go for a 2nd hand RR or similar, so it looks like I'll be out of the Audi game for a while. I did rent a TTS last week though to see what it's like and I must...

    So one of my clients reversed into me today...

    and according to Audi I'm going to need a new bonnet, grille and possibly a new front section (?) Anyway, they're bringing me an 08 S3 in Sprint Blue so at least I'll be able to really gauge the difference between my GIAC Hammered S3 (which is now feeling very fast and loosened up) and a...

    How to steal a car in seconds...

    Came across this on reddit :) Quite an interesting selection of videos of people using a variety of different methods to break into modern cars. The reason I thought it might be of interest is that two of the cars are Skodas and one is a MK4 Golf. I can't work out if these videos likely to...

    Oh Dear. My poor mate...

    ...has just realised that the BMW he paid £9k cash for last night is a stolen car. He found the ad in Autotrader, thought it was a great deal - it booked at around £12500 (i know, alarm bells!). The car was advertised as an 05 plate 318d ES Touring with 50k on the clock. Anyway, he went to an...

    The wait is finally over...The New S3 is here!

    Guys, After literally a week of waiting - the new S3 has arrived! I'm very happy with it - especially as quite a few of you have moaned about the quality of the cleaning job done by Audi before delivery... The privacy glass is a suprisingly dark tint, but I like it very much - so glad I...
