    I think since HWIST is going down hill because of general motors talk and for various other reasons, I think this type of thread is long over due is it not?

    Mods etc. opinions first, then talk away:D

    I'd say you're right, talking & OT bickering is ruining the "flow". I don't think this'll stop it though - as long as someone gives an opinion, someone else'll shoot it down.

    I think that if you read the thread thus far you will agree with me that a "general talk" thread is never going to work :pac:

    From the other thread...

    This is pretty special. I deal with bog standard cars everyday so know something out of the ordinary (another 6 A4's and an A3 arrived at the same time). The thread title is "Here's what I saw today" - I saw this today and it's more than likely the only Irish S-Line A4 until Dirty Oil Burner imports his.

    Apologies if you've seen one before - I haven't and I'd be surprised if AudiChris has seen an A4 with interior & exterior S-Line packs.

    I'm sorry, but there's nothing special about an S-Line. I saw a Titanium Mondeo the other day, should I go back and take a pic of it and post it up? We'll have highline Golf's next...

    I think there's a line there between remarkable/rare and droolworthy.

    Definitely, but a model spec on a standard car, no matter how rare, is not worthy of a post in that thread. S-lines will be littering the place in another couple of years, it's only a trim level.
    Something like the A3 you posted where the customer actually had to make a specific request for a colour not normally in that range is noteworthy, but a trim level on a car is not.

    Titanium Mondeo is a standard model in the line up - nothing special about that unless it's blue with a blue interior (been there, done that).

    S-Line models are not available in Ireland hence the rarity.

    I always wanted to say, how much I hate these stupid safety belt warning lights and beepers in modern cars. They drive you nuts! You only want to drive a car 20 meters on the forecourt, and the whloe thing starts beeping like a heart rate monitor in a hospital.

    Stupid warning sounds and lights. I drove a 5 Series last week, with low washer fluid, low petrol, no seat belt on (It was a drive across the forecourt), and there was a blown bulb. I **** you not, the car did this :

    Bong. Bong. Badaling. Bong. Badalingbadalingbongbongbong.

    I felt like getting some C4 and just blowing the damn thing up. Badaboom! :D

    Was in a Mondeo before with a lad who refused to put on his seatbelt with that beeping noise. Combined with the poxy indicator noise i nearly jumped out the window!!:P

    Bloody toyota's are the worst. Doesn't give you a second's peace when you set off and just gets louder and louder, faster and faster.

    By the time we get from the front of the building to the back and parked it's almost deafening.
