Dave Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Just thought that i would let you guys that i will not now be taking delviery of any RS4 model. I have decided to take another brand instead.. some of you know, but for the moment, until i have found the right car i'll leave you all guessing. I've loved my time with Audi and am sure i will be back. Got great memories of the quick stuff , as i've spent around 10 years with the brand but i've found something i've been missing... ?

DHA Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Japanese quality that's where its at mate. Enjoy the Honda Jazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesB Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 How intriguing. I assume it has to be something that either matches or surpasses RS4 performance but guess that it will not be brand new if you are looking around for the right one. Are we looking at something 911-like? Or even something more radical: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 LOL.. James, I might go new.. but really a good second hand example would suit me just fine: I might as well let you all know!! This is what i'm having: Porsche GT3 Clubsport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson_R32 Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Nice one! I love GT3's!! Especially Clubsports and RS's Congratulations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Trouble is i really want one in red, but they seem to be like hen's teeth.. loads of black and silver available.. Time to get my head down and search the pages !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Yes, nice one Dave. In red or something else? (Too slow, scrub the last sentence) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 I got taken around the Nurburgring in a Gt3 and it was the first time that a porsche has completly blown me away!! The whole package is just unbelivable.. the engine, the power delivery, the loose tail, the noise, the rev limit, the bucket seats.. just amazing... and even better, got it past the wife.. but i want the right car, so the search begins.

JamesB Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Blimey, my guesses seem to be going well today. I can't say I blame you, I'd take one over an RS4 any day of the week. Good luck with the search, you must be hopping up and down with excitement already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Fantastic choice. When you say new do you mean 997 or 996? Id love one of those, possibly my fave car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Woops.. probably a 996, i would love to go with a 997 but there is the waiting list, price and buying brand new. I'd be happy with a 996. There are many good examples out there and with the new GT3 comming out there is a downward pressure on price, so i think i'll go with that. And, although the new GT3 is more powerful , it also has a lot of things i would never use, like adjustable springs and PASM. I think i would prefer it raw.

JamesB Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Little bit too long in the tooth that one.. would ideally like one with around 10,000 miles, around 18 months to two years old.. red clubsport! (Do you think i'm picky enough??) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesB Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Not at all. You're not in a rush, why not look for exactly what you want? If you can't find it after a while, you can always relax your criteria a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its worth asking Roland at Hudsons of London, I noticed he had an 06 yellow one out back... It looked fantastic, and is the colour id go for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexc Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Good choice, I'd definitely have one over the RS4! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Just had a quick look in a few that I know and your right about the red. There is a very nice white with red lettering GT3 CS on Autotrader with only 8,200 miles on it. Good luck with the searching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisg Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Reading Porsche had one in the showroom late February. Very nice ... had my accountant in tow and she said "that's a real Porsche" whilst I was looking at Boxster Ss - how hurtful was that ......

Will22 Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Porsche dealer on the Coventry Road in Coventry had one a few weeks back, not sure about the milage but it was red and had a 55 plate. Don't know the name of the dealer but if you can't find it out I can drop out that way tomorrow and find out if you want as it's only 20 or so miles away.

Ben Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 How about this one Dave? Oy yeah, that's no good, it's a Comfort I too have backed out of the RS4, not good timing at the moment for me, plus M5's are getting closer to that price Cheers Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
