Bojmobile 0 Posted April 28, 2007 You're right - most it's needed for an MOT is £40 last year and that's the 3rd one I've put it through - how many 14yr old cars can give you that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bojmobile 0 Posted August 7, 2008 Took my mate's S3 out for a test drive today and have decided to buy it - so question is - what to do with the VR? Do I sell it just now whilst prices are awful or hold on to it? It's paid up insurance wise and MOT until May. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vmax 0 Posted August 7, 2008 Nooooooo.... :( Hold on to it, you'll be bored of the S3 in no time :wink: Still, you've had a good few years out of it, wish I could hold onto a car for so long :grin: Jamie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted August 7, 2008 Obviously, hold onto it - no-brainer if it's financially viable :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joe M 0 Posted August 12, 2008 Got a garage? Take the vr off the road for 6 months to see how you get on with the s3 then decide which to keep. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bojmobile 0 Posted August 12, 2008 the S3 is incredible - but I'm not ready to get shot of the VR quite yet - but things may change financially and I'll have no alternative - I've got a wedding on the horizon now too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bojmobile 0 Posted October 21, 2009 Well I sold the old VR earlier this year to vr6paul and he sold it on to macscorcher, who's taking very good care of it. I moved on and initially got an S3 and have now moved on to a MK I Audi TT 3.2 V6 with DSG(ok so it's not a VR6 by name!):- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggrim 0 Posted October 21, 2009 Looks nice Glenn. How is the drive etc compared to the Corrado? I've used the DSG on a company diesel before and it was pretty awesome. Was tempted myself into a TT but I think my next purchase will be an R33 GTR since I've always wanted one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bojmobile 0 Posted October 21, 2009 Hey Big, Good to hear from you man, how's married life treating you? I'm getting married in July! I'm totally loving the TT, the S3 had a lot of good points but didn't do it for me in a lot of areas after the VR6. The engine note of the S3 was crap, paint was starting to turn pink too - so I got rid of it before it caused me more probs. The TT is immaculate and it's great hearing the V6 noise again. The DSG is awesome - still adjusting to driving an auto - but it's really quick and combined with the Quattro is great fun. Sport mode is ridiculous and launch control is just obscene! :D The gear paddles are good fun too - but more of a novelty - you end up not really using them tbh. The car is only on 49k too and has only had 2 previous owners - so I got a good deal. Been reading all the DSG horror stories though - but trying not to worry too much!

biggrim 0 Posted October 21, 2009 Glad to hear that you're happy with it matey. Married life not so great but that's a different story altogether. Not to worry eh? Try not to think about problems with the car until they happen. You always tend to hear horror stories on the net more than it's going perfect stories lol. Good luck for the big day mate. July will be here before you know it and it'll be a fantastic day. Sorry for the hijack there. Meanwhile, back at the ranch! :clap: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

too hot 0 Posted October 22, 2009 Very nice loving the interior 8) 8) My mates got the same model with blue interior.

I thought the VR was thirsty too until he started having fun with launch control.!!!! :shock: :shock: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
