I'm not really a fan of the TT but the colour and the wheels do make that one look really nice.

I'll open myself up to ridicule here and say that she is screaming out for a boot spoiler!

Did I tell you that I was 53 going on 17?

Congratulations Jim, that looks lovely, it really stands out

I wasn't a fan of the TT until SWMBO got herself a TT roadster last March. It's only a 2.0 TDi but what a lot of fun to drive, and 50MPG+, what's that all about?

As for the boot spoiler comment, you're better off without one. The factory fitted one on this TT has been nowt but trouble

Agreed

I love TTs - Lucy has one and it's like driving a well fitting shoe Its as quick as an S8 in a straight line but would leave it for dead in the twisty bits. But, drive it for more than an hour and you wish you'd picked the 8. Lucy's is a 225 version with the small duck-tail spoiler and that just finishes off the back of the car nicely. The TTRS spoiler is a little too shouty.

Funnily enough, when we were looking for that car, every single one we found was owned by a very blokey bloke. Not a coiffeur in sight

From Scottish Motor Services Woodlands Road? They always use that location in the west end for their pictures

Daughter's had her TT for 4 or 5 years now and apart from a couple of small faults it works...

It has an electronic spoiler. Comes up above a certain speed or when you push a button inside the car. I’ll get a photo later.

And I’m 65 and two-thirds, going on 17!

It’s a TTS, so, IMHO, nicer interior and quicker. And it has at least as many toys as the one at AIIT!
