    Life after RS3

    Hello again all, it's been about 8 months since I sold the RS3 so I thought I'd do a little write up on life after the RS3. I'm not going to bang on about the abilities or attributes of other cars here, that would probably just cause a negative response on a single brand site, but I might...

    S3 Saloon now in Forza 5

    I thought a few of you might like to know the latest S3 is now available in Forza 5. A newly laser mapped and inch perfect Nurburgring was also added in a recent update so there is a lot more playability to the game these days. I'm going to see what 'ring lap time I can extract from the S3 and...

    This is as funny as it gets...

    Not directly RS3 related but I'm sure you chaps will forgive me as Audi won once again at Le Mans: BMW wins Le Mans! « Sniff Petrol The ultimate furious pleasuring machine....! Nothing more to add.

    Ouch - Chris Harris is at it again!

    Audi S3 revelation: PH Blog - PistonHeads I was probably one of the blind-faith fanboys he talks about! You have to laugh because you know he is saying it for effect and to gain the love of the rwd set on that site. Pretty much the only thing I do agree with is that the S3 makes the new WRX...

    evo The Fourth Dimension article (no spoilers)

    Automotive journalism at it's captivating best in this months evo chaps, this one article is worth the price of the magazine alone. They took the best 4WD cars past and present, including Quattro 20v, RS Q3, R8 V10 Plus from the Audi fold to North Wales to specifically drive on wet roads and a...

    PX Prices, Audi Cheek and a sweet moment

    By now you probably know my RS3 has departed and as there was some interest and discussion on the PX/trade prices on the classified thread for the car I thought I'd give the full story here (rather than continue on the classified thread area). If, as I know some are, you are keeping your RS3...

    Braking Weight - 20,000 mile update

    With just over 20,000 miles on the clock of the RS3 and the car approaching 2 years old I thought this would make a good time for an update. Since the last update in May 13 my RS3 has had the APR Stage I software installed, suffered a puncture, been on the rolling road twice, achieved some 3.8...

    The Ultimate Driving Machine? M135i v RS3

    It's Panto Season - The Ultimate Driving Machine? "Oh no it isn't" seems the appropriate way to start this review as it's panto season. Continuing the theme, one thing is also certain "it's behind you", a long long way behind you, if you're driving the RS3 that is. This is a little test I got...

    Going To Replace my RS3

    Today was a fun day. A friend of many years came to an event I was running today and agreed to bring along her, yes you read that right, GTR. This GTR is a little special too, running the Litchfield Stage 4 620 bhp upgrade, Y-pipe and louder exhaust, improved discs and pads and a great choice...

    Good to see the RS3 has made the car list for Forza Motorsport 5 as part of the limited edition pack. The RS7 is the cover car and plenty of other Audi's feature too. This will be a great game so looking forward to it, just over a month to wait now...

    Definitively Faster

    While I already know the RS3 is the fastest accelerating car I've owned one question had remained unanswered: is the RS3 also the fasted car I've owned on track? As I've mentioned on here a few times before I'm going back to a dedicated track car next spring and I was invited along to a closed...

    Ooops! A lucky let off!

    We are already back to quattro weather in these parts and that meant the first chance to use the APR Stage I map and new Pilot Super Sport 235 all round combination. The usual quattro all weather pace remains devastating but the map does mean you now have the power to get yourself in a bit of...

    Diablo III on console

    Although I've played Diablo III on PC I picked up an Xbox 360 version yesterday and I have to say it is excellent, better than the PC version thanks to the easy controls and everything having been streamlined and honed. It's a great straightforward RPG-em up. Loads of enemies to defeat and...

    Mini Meet - Audi RS3 & TTRS Dyno Run @ Powerstation

    Well that's another fine meet you got me in to. A power run on the dyno at Powerstation would surely mean that I'd continue the cliche for the video music wouldn't it? Oh and you might have noticed the choice of music is a little ironic as my RS3 made a bit of a shocker in the BHP...

    Redemption - APR Stage I v2 Review

    Tonight I threw my RS badges in the hedge and fitted these instead*: Because if any car I’ve owned deserved the title umm…Flipping Quick the RS3 is now it. I still can’t quite get my mind around how 2 remaps from the same company can be so markedly different. It’s been either wet or...

    The APR Conundrum – Stage 1 (v1.2 98 ron) Remap Review

    I was hoping to write up the story of this remap as an article for the ASN magazine but as it’s a more mixed review than I’d have liked I’ve decided just to make this a post, that way it is clear these are just my comments. As it stands APR have offered to update the software on my car...

    A1, No Bull - ***warning mildly erotic images*** (don't look!)

    Hello A1'ers I've briefly escaped from the secure RS3 compound to tell you the story of today. No doubt a mod will be along to shepherd me back soon enough (where is Voorhees when you need him - "It's just like a golf...") ;) A trip to South Hereford Audi was on the cards to help my dad...

    Go(ne) APR - finally!

    So what I thought my car needed was a bit more red :laugh: (those of you who know my car will understand...) and this is the new red accessory I chose: In fact sharp eyed Morells knew my car had been mapped before I did when pictures appeared on the APR Facebook page! Oh and if you check the...

    Tomato excuse for prostitute in car in Walsall

    After seeing the article about Audi drivers being most likely to cheat on partners I thought I had better post up this consumer advice. This may not be the best excuse to use should a young lady of the night offer you advice on fruit.BBC News - Tomato excuse for prostitute in car in Walsall...
