Agree with @Sandra what a fantastic machine that is still in A1 condition John. Wow, 10 years old, very impressive all round

Thank you Nev, for sure ALL thoughts of parting with it have now gone - grown out of them silly thoughts :racer:

Has to be one of if not THE best examples of an 8P RS3, I would have loved to have been in a position to buy it when you had your wobble.
I hope you enjoy it and its memories for many years to come yet John :thumbs up:

Stunning car John and a credit to you :icon thumright:

There is something of a classic timelessness to the 8P RS3 imo and in your spec / colour it sure is a car to cherish and enjoy :yes:

Stunning car John. Bluey and “The Red One” side by side look awesome in their black and silver packs respectively.

starting to find myself drifting over RS4 B9 / B9.5 reviews….

I love the RS3, it’s burble it’s noise, it’s punch, but starting to feel as if I’ve outgrown it,
At 6ft3, it’s starting to feel a bit small and with a great spec/ very low mileage it might be time to move on…

I’d scrap it John, moon mileage :haha:
Wouldn't change it for anything other than a 2016 SQ5 or 2010 TT roadster Steve...
Means oh so much :friends:
As does our 2016 SQ5 and 2010 TT roadster :thumbs up:

3 very good examples :wub:
Thank you. The emotional attachment so strong to ALL three, Alan. I see none ever being sold on.

Mine now for as long as I'm here. It's what rs3copilot would have wanted, and for sure I'll fulfil that wish.
