Bye Bye A7 - Hello M135i
Bye Bye A7 - Hello M135i
My Audi A7 went back after 2 years on lease, sad to see it go as it was a great big car but time to move on.
Been toying with the idea of 'downsizing' for a few months now, decided "what the hell, your only middle aged once", and ordered an M135i in Estoril Blue. Was due to have it delivered on Tuesday but due to a mix up with the dealer I'm now being flown down to Bristol to collect (dealer paying flight costs, getting picked up at the other end for hand-over & full tank of juice) and I'll be driving it back up to Scotland.
Been the butt of many jokes over the past few days due to that idiot Clarkson almost killing himself in one on Sunday but I can't wait to get it.
Watch for pics soon...

nice I did some paintwork on one a few weeks ago and had to deliver it afterwards very quick car (the sports seats were a little snug for my manly shape tho )

Did you get home safely?

Apart from Clarksons dodgy verdict, I believe the car gets great reviews

...great car ! mind the rear end...it likes to step out on the wet !!
Re: Bye Bye A7 - Hello M135i
Fair point! I make a habit of keeping the traction control on and limiting speed to under 120 in extremely wet conditions to avoid embarrassment
