    It’s a she..

    She’s got three years. Was actually considering getting a really fast petrol v6 then buy a cheap diesel car for work. Got 3 years to decide. Other option is I buy the Mrs a fast petrol car and I buy a big fast diesel.

    What engine & spec did you get in the end? You were going to get the r-sport if I remember right??

    It says 2.0 on its arse and R-Sport on its side.

    I need to give her a name. She’s definitely a her.

    13 years since I had a new car. I sat in it and couldn’t work out how to start it for a minute!

    Petrol.

    So far I’ve driven it to the house I’m working on (half a mile), the cricket club (2 miles) and an away cricket match (about 20 miles return journey).

    I doubt I’ve got it above 60 so far so the paddles haven’t been used! <laugh>

    I freely admit that it’s wasted on me but the old Audi has properly become a dump car that the kids cringe at and **** it I deserve it. You’re a long time dead.

    Get it in sport mode then press the button on the centre console with a chequered flag on. You’ll hear things change and tense up.

    They do a 2.0 litre 187bhp, reckon that would be powerful enough for most people tbh.

    I'm not buying one though, I'm after a van (clearly not going for performance <laugh>)

    I’ve been looking at the 150 bhp 1.5 litre. The missus fancies one.

    You can pick up a 64 plate 3ltr v6 diesel for around 22k currently. The v6 petrols are bit more expensive.

    I’ve got a VW Touareg for sale mate. It’s like a 5 Star hotel on the inside.

    Litchfield Focus RS is what I'd be going for right now if it wasn't for the fact that I have convinced myself I need a big 4x4.

    The devil on my shoulder is definitely telling me to go buy the psychopathic hot hatch.
