2 cracking choices there!

without wanting to stray off topic (or I might have to move my own posts! ) which TT spec?
Not a 3.2 - wrong front and spoiler
would have guessed at pre '02 from the ride height, but the interior colour says post '02...

So I'm going to pump for a 1.8 Tiptronic?

could be way out though, long time since I've had to remember exact specs

You might want to visit UK TT Forum :: UK TTOC (but beware, it's a LOT less civilised than this place!), and definately consider joining up at The TT Owners Club (TT Owners club, with discounts, meets, track days, qtrly mag and other stuff)
If you do, tell them DIRY says hi!

I'm sure you'll enjoy both your new toys!

TTDegs goes back in doors to get his anorak and bobble hat with TT logos on

Back on topic, that's one hell of a step up for the missus. Hope she enjoys her new ride

errrm, no!

but if you had said "to pick one of his 3 TTOC committee member T shirts..."
or "looked at his TT logo'd watch"


ok, you're right, I'll grab my coat on the way out...

Thanks it is a 1.8 coupe 55 reg registered january 2006, Dark Geen colour, cream leather interior heated seats and it has flip key

I have already posted on the TT site very good site but harder to navigate than this one.

I am joing sarah up to the TTOC as it looks very good and they have got a TTOC day at roockingham this year which is only down the road for us. It is also 1 day after her birthday.

VERY nice

The TTOC are a great bunch of guys and girls - they will look after you
Rockingham should be great - I did a couple of track days at Castle Coombe with them (they had one there 10 days ago), and they are really enjoyable and very well run

enjoy!

LOL

The Civ is just a little bit better at carrying things (like dogs) than the TT is...

Is it a 225 or 180?

I saw your post over on the TT site. Been a member there forever but never posted. I used to have a 225 TT as a company car, it was on a W plate. Had to wait an extra month to get it if I remember correctly, as it was about that time they where sticking a spoiler and ESP on them. Loved the car. Back then it was a rarely seen sight on the road and people would always come over and talk to you about it. Would have one again, if for nothing more than the design statement it made at the time. People think its old-hat now but at the time it was a very bold move. It was a good drive too, effortlessly crunching those motorway miles.

We need our own sub-section!

there are at least 5 TT owners or ex-owners on here now

which probably says something about either us, or the design statements of the cars, or both

......and don't forget the TT doesn't come with a rear *****, so it will keep the purists happy here as well!
