That is luuuurvley

I love the sound of the RS3 5 pot. Best sounding new Audi in my humble opinion. Would love to drop one of them in the S8

Excellent purchase bud

Nice start to your Audi ownership!

I shudder to think how much the insurance would be for that at your age
I've probably bought most of my cars for less

He's only got that so that CTL (Mike) can't catch him to steal his cake and desserts any more! (Watch this space!)

Seriously though they are brilliant fun and amazingly practical so well done on buying a proper car at last and one that includes working indicators!

It's actually not that bad with a multi car policy with his no claim and me and his older brother as named drivers. Surprisingly it's his mum that's high risk
