What's your current car obsession??

It's an Audi TT and an Audi A5 Coupe this time for me!

I think I need to have an Audi, I know it's not cabriolet time, but this little beauty is stunning..... It's the colour, Daytona Grey, and the 19" segment alloys

Personally I think the new SLK looks better, but I would say that.

Love Daytona grey though.

Hi Peter,

Are you having both? Petrol TT or oil burner?



My current obsession is do I ......

a) go for black script with RSR style silver petals....



or

b) go orange!



...can't decide. Orange would be easier/cheaper. Could always try both - or even one each side!

F10 M5. But obsession in the realistic to own category is the 335d of course: As it'll be my next car.

Out of interest, anyone know of a 335d tuned beyond 380bhp yet?

A 924 Carrera GTS for me. A few years ago no one wanted them. Often going for £125k now eligible for historic events such as Classic Le Mans. This one went at auction for £95k +fees.

My little video, click for HD. For the camera geeks all shot on a Nikon D90


Although the wider Fuchs look better on this one

19” x 9J ‘5-arm rotor’ design titanium finish alloy wheels with 255/35 R19 tyres.
Think they were originally exclusive to the RS range but are now part of the Black Edition Package on some of the range

Audi S5 for me, V8, can pick them up sub £20k. Don't do the mileage to warrant a diesel anymore and bored of the BM's interior to be honest.

I would agree with that. Sat in a neighbours A6 Avant the other day, the interior is leagues better than most BMWs.

Peter, you bored of the 1er and looking for a new motor? To be fair you have kept this one longer than most...

Am on my second BM now, the interiors aren't bad, they are quiet well bolted together, but just think that other cars a leaps ahead. I like the new F30 interior but there is no chance I can afford a new one of those with the toys on it. Roll on May for a bit of V8 noise

Always on the look out, you know me 1er is OK, just a tadge boring and it has no toys, small things like no full iPod integration, no bluetooth and I have had it for 6 months! At least I bought it for a reasonable amount, it hasn't lost an enormous amount and to think, at one stage, I was considering buying a brand new one!

I have a few irons in the fire on new, nearly new TT and A5 Coupes. One dealer has a 2.0 TDI Coupe Quattro Black Edition, it is sitting in their showroom apparently, they are very very keen to sell it to me, just under 10% discount and a cheap PCP rate. It has Bose, Ipod, bluetooth, full leather, hfs, 19"s etc, but it is in silver and has no cruise. And also they are offering £13K on the 120d which is just over the top book price.

1st Jan brings new Audi finance offers though, and I think it may be worth waiting to see what they are.
