sounds interesting. Not sure if I'll actually get one to be honest. Its an ex demo, but still pricey.
Am going to trade in the Scciroco and get something on a lease plan to free up some of the equity tied up in the rocco for a little project i got on the go. Just thought i'd have a go for shits and giggles. It may end up being a costly giggle though! -
Just buy this instead:

I know it's not big or clever, but this looks awesome.

Yes I thought the same. It wasn't a high traffic parking spot so i figured some banker wanted to take it for a spin. What a beautiful thing.

An afternoon of shopping?

You can just about see what looked like space-saver wheels, painted to resemble bottle caps.
Oh and the blue is some sort of carbon effect wrap.

Wiggo's support vehicle from today:

My T4 is back on the road! Boxing Day it slowed down on me and then the brake pedal went solid - got recovered to a local garage where they replaced the brake master cylinder - £350 - because the MOT was due the week after, I left it there for them to do that - it failed miserably on welding, welding, welding, 1 illegal tyre and three close, perished front brake pipes and some other random things (one of the indicator bulbs had 'faded' and was now the wrong colour??)
Anyway, had a ton of welding done last year at which point he said it would 'sail through' this year, so was not impressed - qouted me well over a grand including new set of tyres - but then basically said he didn't want to do the work as he 'hated rust' - which was great. So anyway long story short, found a guy through a mate in the local Lambretta club who has done the welding for me - £200 - new tyres all round £340 - brake pipes £30 plus £90 labour for garage to fit at MOT, plus a set of indicator bulbs - £5.49 - £665 instead of the 1K mark
so now have hammerited along the sills, needs a wax and polish - need to get the wheels off and take the surface rust off the wheel hubs and grease, paint the calipers and also plan to waxoyl the underside
it's got some bubbling paint on a couple of wheel arches, and one of the front ones is going through - what's the best filler these days? I've used Isopon P38 before, but I'm hearing polyster fillers are now the go? Cheers

Feedback from a friend who has one:
Get adaptive cruise control
It's surprisingly quick (he had a modded S3 and he says the R is quicker)
A little bit wallowy around bends but made up for by being comfortable
