"that the wife will also drive"

She won't drive a manual any more due to health problems.

Ah sorry - I didn't know

It's OK, it's nothing life threatening, just discomfort, so anything that makes driving easier is a win for her.

On the plus side, it had a DSG rebuild around 25k ago (116k now), so it should be good for a while. Camchain has been done, which is another potential large bill taken care of.

Just needs me to fix the fuel guage (which always reads empty - range on the trip computer works fine), which is going to either be the dial/guage motor, or I'll need to send the dash pod off for repair.

These 3.2 V6's make a great noise, and have a decent amount of grunt which is nice.

That's good to hear

It's a lovely car

Curious, why are you glad about that change?

the handling tbh,they both have there +points and - points but overall the RS I more fun

Replaced the MX5 with something that the wife will also drive.

Was wondering why I spotted that TT in your sig last night!
Nice colour combo but can't help but feel those split rim BBS look out of place and dated
Fitment looks weird too, unless the previous owner put spacers on..

 

[paradigm]

Standard fit would you believe, and seem to sell for a small fortune in good condition. These need a refurb, but aren't in bad condition really (mostly laquer peel), I'll keep my eye out for the other stock V6 wheels, but tbh I'm not completely against these BBS wheels.

 

[Kenai]

They do look stuck out a lot though, they're normally tucked into the arches, wouldn't be surprised if it had spacers.

 

[paradigm]

I'll whip a wheel off and take a looksie.

This ad shows what I mean the wheels look more tucked in.

@paradigm should've kept the mx5 and replaced the wife.

Technically still own the MX5 at the moment, a friend is meant to be taking it next weekend.

 

[wedrum]

Para nice TT the 3.2 is a great engine. Blackhawk that arch gap though.

 

[dacads]

@paradigm nice don't see many with the 3.2 engine about..

Quite a package though with dsg and presumably quattro, small but not light?

 

[paradigm]

@wedrum Cheers, yes it does make a nice sound, even on the stock intake and exhaust.
@dacads Yes, all the V6's are quattro, but yes again, quite weighty at 1500KG. My S3 is actually LIGHTER!

Needed something nippy for Le Mans.

It has two speeds, off and Warp 9, there is no in-between.. That said, I cant say for sure if it was me or not (as I let a few mates have a drive over the trip!)

 

[grudas]

@EyeDot you still got the F40?
