Nice Audi. I tend to prefer Audi's more than BMW's and Mercedes. Read my post in your other thread.

Enjoy your stay at UCP.

REAL wood done well is hard to beat, it's when shitty cars have fake wood grain, and the owner tells everyone it's real wood, then it gives wood a bad rep.

Wow I just wrote a whole paragraph about the word wood wihtout laughing haha

I'm not so sure about all that...



To each their own though.

I was going to bring up Jaguar too

Some of MG/Rover's old interiors looked really good too, with a slice of wood.

Just so long as it's not that fake tacky shit, or there's too much of it.

It looks pretty sharp (full sport bodykit & has the lovely star alloys), and goes like hell- midrange diesel & turbo torque is amazing, with 50mpg... can't argue with that!

You can sort-of see it here.

Seems that a fellow Audi-lover may join us for longer...

Ah yes, the Sport. Great in Red or Black. Those 17' wheels are perfect. Look great, not to small and not too big as to ruin the ride. Dad's A6 has 17's too

Jag wood

Yeah, I see your point with the Jaguar wood, it's quintessentially brittish. Range-Rovers and Jaguar XJ's are the only cars to have wood

Does that mean Rolls Royce and Bentley are not allowed to use it?

No.

That's because we don't like you. Or your mum. Or your country.

We'll see about that after I come over with a bunch of sweaty Englishmen and frighten all your birds/beaches/palm trees away and you colonial blokes are left with yourselves and Castlemaine to play with.
