What are the running costs like? I heard that it costs a fortune to run but it's an EVThanks, it's the E-Tron GT Vorsprung
Unless Audi charge thousands for brake fluid or it munches through a set of tyres in 5000 miles?

Well, only had it since December and costs so far (apart from electric to charge or) have been £0
It's through a Company Car Salary Sacrifice Scheme administered by Octopus so the monthly cost includes insurance, servicing, MOT, roadside recovery and tyre so, in theory, it should be £0
I can imagine anything related to maintenance or repair would be pricey !!
Fair enough. My i3S costs buttons (literally only paying for electricity, tyres and a brake fluid change every 2 years) but my old i3 had a KLE charging failure which cost £5000 (thankfully under warranty).
I really like my i3S but very tempted to move it on when the warranty runs out in the summer. Cannot extend it here and it's not worth a £5000+ failure!
At the first C&C event I took the car to.
First impressions vs. my VXR8 are a lot more modern (even though only two years between the two). Grabs equal amounts of attention but in a different way - my impression is it seems to have more appreciation being a wagon over a saloon or coupe.
Brutal get up and go compared to previous though - I see what people mean when they say they want to kill you!

Probably not cool for everyone, but it's cool to me.
That is cool, great colour as wellProbably not cool for everyone, but it's cool to me.
Very cool! Straight 6 manwell?Probably not cool for everyone, but it's cool to me.
Yes indeed.
I remember borrowing my folks C63 for a few days and it's the only car I've driven that I've been genuinely wary of planting the accelerator in for fear of it murdering me.
Weekly shop in the older beemer, such a small car compared to modern stuff yet it can carry 4 adults in comfort and has enough room in the boot for a couple of bodies.
Absolutely love driving this thing around you can literally drive it like you stole it and thrash it, so much fun and it won’t land you in jail for truly enjoying it to its maximum potential though still very capable for its age.
Funny driving it long to see kids points and going wow and adults nearly rotating their heads 180 degrees as you cruise past, just such an iconic looking thing and a true keeper.

Much cooler than VTEC y0Probably not cool for everyone, but it's cool to me.
Yes, it's my favourite car I've ever imported I think. I've yet to give it a proper run as I'm still waiting for the plates to arrive but I did drive it for half an hour or so and it's lovely, can't wait to be able to properly use it.
You have a full Mob Boss spec fleet now
You should start a YT channel if you haven’t already.
I'm trying to thin it down a little as I'm running out of space. I currently have:
Cayenne
Lincoln Town Car
Jeep Grand Cherokee
Defender 110 V8 Petrol 2 door
Defender 110 V8 Petrol 4 door
Defender 110 200 tdi
Rolls Royce Silver Spirit
L322 Range Rover
DB7
I've got the Rolls and 1 Defender up for sale at the moment, another Defender is having some minor refurbishment done and then I'll be selling that too. I'm an idiot though so I'll almost certainly see something else interesting that I'll end up buying in the intervening time.
I've had a lot of people tell me that, but I wouldn't know where to begin tbh. I'm not that into social media, I have Instagram but just post a few car / holiday pics and that's about it, no fancy video stuff. It would also be difficult to decide whether to do it in English or Spanish and I'm not sure I'd ever get the money invested in kit, video editor etc back as it seems hard to make money on Youtube nowadays. Also, I don't think I'd be any good at presenting which is probably the main hurdle
Probably wants to stay away from the feds
