cruiser647 Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Seeing a few of these about. Unfortunately in white. However, one accelerated past me (I let him...........), I had the window down a notch, and the thing makes a really pleasant sound! Nice little snort from the exhausts at it changed up.

Korkster Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 The 'snort' / 'fart' noise when going thri the gears is great...not great for fuel economy tho :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 My old AlfaSud used to make that sort of noise when you changed gear, it prompted a policeman to follow me one day to ask what engine I'd put under the bonnet, as he didn't believe it was the original 1.5, it was, just very very modified!

Yep, even my 1.3 Alfasud made the Alfa rasp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanG Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Nothing wrong with a white A4....... My brother has the S5 with the V6 supercharged motor and is getting 29mpg. It's an auto and he drives like our grandmother, that car will never have seen the red line. I shudder to think what would happen if you really went for it.

cruiser647 Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 I just don't like white cars. Think it's a really boring colour for a car, and I've never seen a white car that looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 TT, R8, Gallardo, Evoque all look good in white. RRS and RR look very wrong in white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 TT, R8, Gallardo, Evoque all look good in white. Nah. Shyt. IMO! Which is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 No. I can still determine that IYO is wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 The Astra and Manta GTEs looked good in white. The ur-Quattro looked good in white. In the 80s. The only current cars that look good in white are track specials with carbon fibre aero bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldavo69 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Anything bigger than a golf shouldn't be available in white. End of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patently Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Anything and everything should be available in white, but the driver should be required to wear matching socks. (except 911s, of course, which are perfect in white) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
