I also like the fact that like snipEz's Md both mine and he is look very understated (well apart from all of his bloody badges!!) and people don't know what they are unless they know the tell tale signs or I start it (where as his still sounds like a tractor!)

I have much more grief with the Porsche despite it costing the same c£65k as the Audi but the Porsche starts at £45k and yet people see the badge and don't like the perceived snobbery behind it. I couldn't give a shit people are poor or rich, I didn't buy the car to show off I bought it because it is currently the best two seater out there

to hell with what they think, if i could afford a porsche i'd have one too!

No I didn't see it, what was on ?
Sometimes I'm just aware and as I say I don't actually like showing off and certainly did not buy it for the badge, I hate the badge!

Re: Did 535dboy Buy The Wrong Car?
Going back to the original vid, it was a bit of artistic license when they claimed a re-map could make it an RS contender, but let's not forget the expensive exhaust system as well as the expensive map that helped things along.
@535dboy, it's only about 200miles each way so should only take you a couple of hours to get there. You know you want too
