Audi S1 BRIEF REVIEW in Autocar and Autoexpress today.

[vrskeith]

Sadly i am still £20,297.00 short even having stopped buying car mags,

but started smoking again.

Sell up your harem mate and you could do it!

 

Glad that you are reading the bits of mag online for naught! Smoking is a worse investment than motors-in my opinion.

 

This is Smoke-in "in it"

I like the vid of the Golf R Estate.  Now that would be a nice Q Car on Steel Wheels & Trims, and a sombre hue.

(More useful for the transportation of rolling tobacco.)

Can't wait to see some sort of comparison between the S1 and the Polo R...preferably when the R has a proper gearbox in it (if ever)  :p

[Ootohere]

Do you mean some Polo R with AWD to be released sometime in the future,?   (ie a S1 with the other body)

rather than the Limited Edition Polo R WRC 222bhp Front Wheel drive from 2012.

 

Or their Polo R Designs Blue Rinser cars that seem a bit odd.

 

VW make knowing what car is which rather confusing.    

On purpose possibly.

So a 2014 S1 but with a Polo Body,  

only the S1 was then released first,

then the 2015 Polo GTI 1.8TSI was announced & order books opened.

 

Surely taking the price of the 2015 Polo GTI 1.8TSI, and then the additional cost of the AWD for a Polo R,

it would be a direct competitor for a 2014/15 Golf R, only slightly Smaller & less BHP.

 

Autocar & Autoexpress must be on the VWG Fast Dial.  

They will test and print anything they get given, factual or not.

 

I like how quickly Autocar pull stuff off line when it does not meet the VWG's approval.

I am not young,

so an embarrassment really when driving anything, & a Fabia is probably just right for infirm / incontinent oldies.

The guy i spotted last week looked so proud in his Fiesta ST, i let him out, and then had to crawl behind him,

he was Middle Aged, and it looked like his Sunday car.

I did wish he had not put the Yellow Badge under the ST to tell everyone it was a bit more special.

When i got feed up and passed him, he seemed to take offence.

He would have been better off dropping 2 gears and booting it.

Coulda had a good play there George, if he wasnt so slow lol.

Just shows ya, can never judge by the car.

I like to think people think im gonna be slow in the SE old mans model.

Till we get to the corners and the local boy racers arent looking to overtake, just to keep up in the corners lol.

Just the bits between corners its abit steady lol

Come on Jose DB, lets be having your ownership review of the S1 "Bumblebeast" and pics.

Still no feedback unfortunately.

Guess I will have to infiltrate the S1 Owners Club at this rate.

For me that review lost all credibility when I read she was a female who "finds parking a simple task" lol! ;-)

Tom,

Perhaps George knows her personally. Think she is in his neck of the woods.

Especially as she has a car collection.

Maybe this is how George knows there is not much room on the back seat of an A1/S1...... ;-)

Sure he likes his creature comforts, whatever the circumstances!

She makes out she's pretty minted "paid 27k for he S1 was gonna trade in the golf but didn't bother and decided to keep it too", so I'm sure she could keep him in luxury lol.

She's so tiny I thought she was pictured with an S3 the first time I saw the pic lol

[Ootohere]

The reg number might be read as WELLY ON

 

Some nice hand overs through the picture gallery,

as is the usual case at Audi Dealerships.

Ideal fit!

Animal look!

[vrskeith]

Is this the 2nd owner we are aware of in the UK?

 

Sales must be roaring away - lead times extended. Audi STOCK compounds must be full. May be a load of pre-registration bargains to be had if you like a manual.

To change the subject, slightly

 

when you googled did you notice this porn
