No worries Jimbo. I'm not actually trading the F6 for the Tig...I upgraded the 'wifes' car from a Polo GTI to a Tig. The F6, well that's a whole other story...
I originally was signed up and ready to go on a Passat R36, had it ordered (first batch) and was awaiting a build date. I discovered the new FG F6-310, and got to take one for a test drive (I mean, the R36 order was placed on fanfare alone!), and I just loved the turbo spool and awesome power. So in short, I cancelled my order (dealer had no problem with that, the waiting list was as long as my arm so I presume he passed it onto the next sucker in line) and ordered the F6.
2 & 1/2 years later, and I find myself pondering the missed opportunity. So, I've decided to go back from whence I came (so to speak) - pocket rockets. You'll notice in my sig that I have an R on order - that's the so called upgrade (more of a cross-grade really) from the F6. I'll be treating the R as a road power project, so will be doing as much as humanly possible to it to max KW's, 1/4's and 0-100's - should be a lot of fun.
Once the bloody APR upgrade is available for my build (MY11 Tig), I look at upgrading there, but that could be months away.
