Similar stats to the s3 even though they have a bit more HP plus the audi's don't have the issues the ford's do ...

Audo need to do the old 5 2.2 turbo engines again, not the 2.5 6000rpm limit on them, those old s1s sounded heavenly at 8k rpm

Again probably supply regards vans but they've been high for a while lot of folk bought into twin cabs which have dropped I believe and lot of folks bought vans to convert into campers during lock down , dare say there'll be a few vans for sale with a kitchen sink nailed in the back lol. If UK can get electric vehicle production going as well as all the infrastructure, which is unlikely, but it might be good timing. Good time to sell bad time to buy, same for property..imo

Yeah lovely motors mate , I've had this one 3 years now and nothing major to do , I've got a stage 1 tune on mine and it's more than enough to get you in trouble real quick

They are a nice place to sit also far better than the jap stuff in that way.

Bloody car prices gone mad, a one year old car is dearer than a new one. Give it 6 month the arse will fall out of it. Tippers, vans  all sky high.I’ve got a few gems laid up in my place , going to hang on to em.
