    Yes, particularly a red one :D

    Are you worried he'll get himself killed?
    Or try to pick up young 'uns?

    If you're going through your mid-life crisis at fifty, then you must be awfully optomistic!

    And I think a TTS is appropriateanytime. Go for it.

    Is the idea for everyone to know that you're going through a mid-life crisis?

    There is a choice of convertible or coupe you know.



    To the OP, wouldnt a Misano Red or Ibis White Audi S5 be classier and still sporty, unusual and attention grabbing? Looks more expensive too... and is, but hey, get the demo model! ;)

    I have never really understood the mid-life crisis stereotyping. I mean if someone has worked their whole life and the kids are grown up so you don't need a fecking space wagon, why is it when they go to buy a decent car its called a crisis?

    Btw the tts is a savage looking car! Obviously the coupe version though.

    btw, saw one in Germany a while ago - Pearl White with Magma Red interior. Absolutely gorgeous.

    Remember, one man's crisis is another's used-vehicle down the road opportunity !! :D

    Saw an 08 D White A3 cabrio in white with Magma Red interior on Saturday, parked at Heuston. Now that's a mid-life crisis car. A woman's, naturally.......:eek: :eek: ....[/runs for cover....]

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    the tts is definitely not a hairdressers car.

    infact the new tt isn't really a hairdressers car either tbh.

    get it :)

    ...and I saw a red one last week near Temple Bar. It's a lovely looking car. Just a pity they didn't use the 3.2 V6 as a base engine rather than the 2l version. Bring on the TTRS indeed ;)

    0-60 in 5.1 secs isnt bad for a tweaked 2litre engine tho it does have a little bit of turbo lag when takin off but does pack a punch nonetheless.
