shabsbmw · Post by **shabsbmw** » Thu 01 May, 2008 12:48

Hubby and I have splashed out on a new car....we took it for a test drive on Sunday, and fell in love with it.
We picked it up last night from Audi...

It's 3.2 DSG Quattro....it's looks quite dark in the photos, but it is lighter. I will take some more pics over the weekend with my camera....

Shabs & Paul.......

Looks very nice Shabs and will also suit your bad foot being a DSG.

Enjoy!

I look forward to spanking that this weekend

Saves putting the hardtop on the Zed.

The two of them will make a nice pair

Thanks all for your nice comments.....I just took it out for a drive before coming home, and it feels amazing.....sooooo quick

It has launch control.....can't wait to try that out...

You will love it Gazza, wait till you have a drive on Monday...

GORGEOUS! Love it, you've got quite a collection going with the Lotus and Zed now

shabsbmw · Post by **shabsbmw** » Thu 01 May, 2008 19:46

Thanks Jamila....

Tell me about it, our drive looks like a second hand car showroom....

As well as the Zed and Lotus, we have a Nissan 300ZX and Honda Beat..

The Nissan is up for sale, so we will have a bit more room.....but not buying anything else......

I've always loved the idea of having a different car for everyday of the week, why not?!!

shabsbmw · Post by **shabsbmw** » Thu 01 May, 2008 19:54

It is a good feeling.....I will take the Zed to work tomorrow, it's meant to be a nice hot day....

Are you coming on Gazza's run...??

Shabs...

jamila · Post by **jamila** » Thu 01 May, 2008 19:58

Is this the 2 day one? I doubt I'll be able to make it.

shabsbmw · Post by **shabsbmw** » Thu 01 May, 2008 20:01

No......not the 2 day one, it's the 21st June, and called the longest day run....come on, put your name down for it....

Shabs.......

June is currently on hold for me, I'm waiting for my cousin to set a date for their wedding in the States - knowing them we'll get 2 weeks notice! It maybe a last minute job but I'll keep the date in mind.

Congrats on the new motor,

Not sure what it is at the moment, but everyone seems to be getting Audi's at the moment

Not everyone, just two of you

shabsbmw · Post by **shabsbmw** » Fri 02 May, 2008 10:13

Thanks Rich/Stu....

Gazza, you may want one when you drive it.....

I was looking at TT's before I bought my first Zed back in 2005, big fan of Mauritius Blue

yalden · Post by **yalden** » Fri 02 May, 2008 10:47

Nice car!! I looked at TT's and S3's before buying my Z3... I think it was my loyalty to BMW's that kept me here!

I know what you mean, but i'm keeping the Zed too, would never get rid of it.

I think the TT is one of the few cars I've seen where the coupe is the better looking sibling. (Sorry M Coupe owners)

I'd get one, but I already have two hardtops, and I want my third to have no roof.

Good choice.

Gazza · Post by **Gazza** » Fri 02 May, 2008 13:37

The last time I saw it your E46 had no roof

Updated pics........

Sorry about the swirly bit.....a friend was standing there, and wasn't fair if I added her in without asking first...

Shabs..........
