Andy... Don't demean your Treg! Guys....I've seen and heard her and she's a beauty

The RR is nice too (did you sell it yet?), but I prefer the Treg.

Nice looking R5, but then I'm biased. Interesting point though, never seen an R5 with the R5TDI badge at the back. V6TDI and V10TDI yes, but not the R5.

The grill's different as well.

Now you've gotta get it dirty and scratched in the bush.

Cheers

Overall the car is great, power is good, though i have added a chip which boosted the power somewhat, but economy has dropped so may remove the chip. the wheels are 'ok' only type i could get to fit, its the new rubber i have which is the goods, cooper discovery! spose to last 80000 clicks?

Its the luxury model with leather and extras like the chrome grille, have had some issues though, water pump wore out at 65k, seatbelts were a issue too, curling and clasps not working, now replaced under warranty, parking sensors faulty and vw will not repair under warranty as has had a new bumper fitted from previous owner rearending some one.

I am off to the UK in a few weeks and my bro scored me a new sat nav/tv/dvd player for the dash, replaces the cd player thats there now, screen was a steal from the UK about 3k cheaper than aussie.

One last thing is the 60k service is $1500 as its a major one, so i got audi to sort it and was more resonable.

Still got the RR Brackie, cant sell the bloody thing..
