Pick it up Friday. Unfortunately the R has to go to make room, but hopefully it'll be worth it.

Looks good. What is it though? B3 or D7? Not sure if I have those letters correct and wheres the interior, dash and engine pics? Performance figures and laptimes would be a bonus lol.

Looks nice mate. Shame the R has to go but I gave the heads up to the potential buyer so he's rather chuffed :).

Posted Image O RLY? Will you have the proper car with you or the kraut one? If we can't set a date (I think my favourite restaurant has run out of candles...) then I will pop up to yours.

Very very nice :)

Hopefully I'll get to have a closer look shortly ;)
The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair

Although I'd hate to be a harbinger of doom I should point out that you're not going to actually see 61.4mpg and certainly not if you do too many 6.9 second 0-60's or set the cruise control to 152mph!!!!
