Crossroads? Where's that? I have changed my plate though. I was in Crosshouse a few times last night/yesterday if that's what you mean

It’s the roundabout on the back road from Galston to Ayr just up from the prison. I was in my polo so pretty much invisible compared to the RS3!

Ahh I’ve always thought that was Crosshands but no, not me there!
So there's another saloon kicking about Ayrshire then. I think Crosshands is a junction further along that road.
I think I saw a red saloon (but not bright red so wonder if an individual) in Bishopbriggs (Glasgow) today. I was going the other way on a roundabout so really brief glimpse.
Saw a 23 plate Kyalami Carbon Sportback same as mine in a driveway as you come into Monkton. My daughter saw a Turbo Blue Saloon yesterday in Paisley.
Getting very common round these parts.

Kemora sportback with the alu pack passed me today on the 77 too.
I wonder if this is the one from Ayr Audi. Saw it in the showroom the other day. Looked like a launch edition. Alu pack and Silver wheels. Must be fairly rare?
Not sure, also saw a 73 plate Kemora Saloon in Tesco Killie. Defo becoming more common.
73 plate?! How’d he manage that one since they’re not out for another four months?!

I’m in Windsor at the moment and saw a tango red VS SB parked on the high street close to the Castle Hotel, reg was RS03*** anyone on here?
On my way down just south of Gloucester saw a white VS saloon by the air balloon roundabout did catch the reg on that though.

I’m on a roll! There was a CB SB in Chipping Norton on my way back to the shire and a black SB on the Evesham bypass around lunchtime.
Since I've had mine, I've seen a few. Grey SB in Banbury parked up, Grey SB on the way to Chipping Norton, Grey SP heading towards the M40 from Silverston and a Green Saloon going through Farthinghoe - I flashed and they waved.
It's funny because I actually get waves from 8V RS3 drivers round where I am as well. Not exactly an Aston Martin or Ferrari but still a bit of a group of people that enjoy their cars.
It's not a big thing but it is nice to get an acknowledgement. 10 M cars and I don't think I've even had a nod of wave back.

Have you seen a new M car recently?
Only one I really like the look of is the M8cp but it's mahoosive.

I really wanted the new M3cs but (a) that ghastly front end (b) it was c£130k!Have you seen a new M car recently?

TX.
I bet the M3cs is a beast but for £130k, I would expect something more exotic! I had an E46 M3cs, it was 3 months old/ex managers car and I paid £40k for it!
This is the best pic of one I've seen but I really don't like the red stupid bits:
I'm keeping my eye on those M3 Touring prices and when they get sensible I might jump ship lol

Or the fact that anything up to the size of a housebrick will make it to the coolers and radiator
I still think the Alpina B3 wagon is the better bet,
same engine, same chassis, less offensive front, spine-friendly suspension
Is it the same engine? I thought it was the 340i engine pumped up a bit.Or the fact that anything up to the size of a housebrick will make it to the coolers and radiator

They do look better but I feel weird buying what is basically an se spec with some Alpina bits stuck on.
Yes it is the same S58 engine but they have changed the turbos to smaller faster spooling ones. From an M3 it does have less top end power but more torque and more 'area under the graph'. It was around a good few years before the M3 touring.
I know someone with a B3 wagon and it is a weapon in the real world on UK roads. I struggle to keep up whereas another mate with a RWD M3 can't keep up with either of us in the wet. It has better suspension than the equivalent Audi and proper rear biased AWD. I had thought of chopping 2 cars in for one of them but they are all post OPF so no soundtrack and noticeably bigger on the road than an RS3
If you want to be pedantic you could say the S58 in the G80 M3 is also a pumped up 340i as they are basically all evolutions of the same straight six engine.
Mental price at 130 in one sense but this is super interesting. He brakes down all the additional bits and cost… it’s ‘relatively’ good value.

I’ll be vague about the location, but was walking my dogs (somewhere in East Cheshire) and there was an identical Merlin Purple Saloon (bar Ceramics) waiting to pull out of a petrol station. Took a double take as thought it was mine!! Had to wave at the passenger window and say hi. Still shocked I’ve seen another one. Reg started RS53…….anyone on here?
Not really a spotted post but was in a Tesco station today with me in the 8y, someone in an M4, a girl in an 8VFL saloon and a guy in an A45 Amg. That 99 octane is a popular choice! Mentioned to the guy in the AMG there was a nice selection outside and he agreed.

Muppet in a Green Saloon just now, undertaking / overtaking to try to get in front when he spotted me in busy traffic.
XR53 BAD……..all windows tinted so you can’t see in.
One thing that’s bad about RS3 ownership, T I T s like this.
