Thanks guys, nice looking cars btw! PK5 - I had to drive that exact car / colour for a few days whilst mine was in for repair, must say it was a new experience to me having the roof down! interesting roof time dial as well!

FunkyMunky - Isn't it 10mins now with the new by-pass? ;-)

well lets just say I found it strange! to summarise ; after test driving the demonstrator they tried to sell me it straight away - when i was after a new car! i felt there was lack of knowledge or sales skills when it came to the extras, i was pointing out what i wanted rather than them offering, i even came back a couple days later to make further additions...which in turn caused further problems, as they had to rebuild the spec each time, missing out what was previously spec'd!! other than that, (oh and the car falling apart on day 1).... great guys!!

i think i'll stick to Specialist Cars at Tring then!! whilst they weren't top on the sales front they were great on the servicing point of view.

i nearly bought a VW Scirocco from Wayside round the corner and they too were a bit hit and miss too... however on the Audi side they were great, hope they're just as great when we take the car back for it's second service

good point, i've got a while yet before my first service, hopefully all goes well! my bro has just ordered a Scirocco, they do look lovely but couldnt possibly sway me, already had my head set on the MCS!
