hashluck Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Used to be a very rare sight if I saw another Cab on my journey to work. Today I saw FIVE not including my own! Hopefully just a one off and we are not about be the next TT. Interstingly I also saw an 'M' Plate Coupe S2 - still a very fine looking machine, I could happily still drive one every day - would save em a fortune in depreciation!

GCab Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Well, keep it in context - was reading yesterday (AXA insurance survey) that the most common manufacturer in West London is Mercedes - one in twenty of ALL cars . BMW the most common in N London, while (I think) one in 80 cars in SW London is a Porsche. I suspect a bit of a skew (premium car owners more likely to fill in a survey than people driving old Cortinas ?). S'pose DVLA would have the definitive data. But given the BMW > Mondeo ratio, perhaps it's not so silly. One thing about Audi cabs - much more variety. Perhaps I'm biassed, but I still find others of interest because they all have different colour combinations, whereas BMWs seem a lot more uniform. Mind you, we've all got a bit less diverse andadventurous than the old Audi 80 cab owners - I haven't seen a single one of those that WASN'T in bright pastel or fluorescent colours.

hashluck Posted November 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Well hopefully now you can order special paint finishes for the Cab we will see a bit more diversity (hopefully within the bounds of good taste. For the record the 5 I saw were.. 2 Black/Black 2 Carib Blue/Black 1 Moro/Black All hoods up, plus my own Carib Blue/Blue Have to say the black looked good but both cars were new and shiny.

TonyB Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Blue/blue is the way to go, IMHO . .. Still a fairly rare sight here on the South Coast . .. I occasionally see a Gold one (sorry, Cosmic Yellow) on the way to and from work. But you can bet your bottom dollar that when I see any at the weekend, I'll be in the wife's Scenic! How frustrating is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Lynham Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Im in Milton Keynes and there are absolutely loads round here. Very nice car and obviously very popular. I think the people round here who work at Audi get them for around £200 a month! so why not i suppose.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
