    Was out shopping with the old man on Saturday and although we didnt actually leave the house with the intention of going car shopping I some how managed to persuade him that it was time for him to change his car.
    Went and drove the BMW Z4 M soft top but he didnt like it as he thought the ride was too hard. He did like the 130M Sport after driving it but after looking at the soft tops now had a notion for a convertible. Had a look at the Nissan 350Z soft top but the interior was just a bit drap and cheap so we took a run to the Audi garage as the old boy loves all things Audi. He has a 51 plate TT and has never had a spot of bother with it.

    Anyway took an instant like to this new shape TT in the showroom. Has extras on it that he would have ordered any way like ; full leather, heated seats, upgraded hi-fi system and bigger wheels (18 inch), multi function steering wheel as well as a 'short shift gear change' thingy.

    Trying to persuade the old man to let me have the car when he isnt using it as he only does about 5000 miles a year in it but ive still not won him over yet.

    We are picking the car up at the end of this month.

    It's a shame they are killing off the RS4 production line pretty soon :( It's their best selling car ffs and for good reason.

    Nice choice btw, the new shape is so much better than the old and i even think it looks nicer than the 350z.
