The Audi Thread

I'm considering the new A3 1.4, wonder what that 1.4 engine is like. I don't want to test drive just yet, that always ends in tears.

Seen Debeers one. Very nice car. He never let me drive it though so can't speak about performance. Yet he is after my eldest. What a cheek!

Bwahaha you never asked. Very well, you're free to take a spin in me car if you extend me the same privilege with the eldest :D
Nah just joking. Would have given a spin when I was there last but sadly time didn't allow for such.
 
I reckon an A8 will keep one satisfied and titillated for at least the next 10 years and beyond.

I just can't see how one could tire with all that car!! Bloody amazing vehicle!
 
Audi hasn't been dominating Le Mans 24 hour like they did 10 years ago.

I'm talking s hit of course. They've won 10/13 2000-2013 but there was a time when they were finishing 1st, 2nd and 3rd!

Awesome race!! An entire F1 season in 1 race!! Unparalleled.

I convinced my second eldest (no Debeer!) daughter to give me my iPod 64GB back and now need the cable for the AMI. Airport wants R600 for this cable!!
Anyone know where else I can this cable for a reasonable price?

600? Bloody hell. EBay should be like 200

Also, don't single me out now, you know how threads work. Mention a young female and pics will be requested! I was simply the first to do so

Lol...

Debating if I should just bite the bullet and pop across to Audi for the cable. Complete freaking extortion though. Thing probably costs R20 to make.

With that I agree. Though in all honesty, I currently run without an AMI cable and simply use Bluetooth or SD card.

Then again I mostly listen to Tuks FM or music on shuffle, rather than fancy pants foreign radiocasts

I don't want to have to manage the iPod (charge etc). I hate the bloody thing. Want to throw it in the cubby and leave it alone. Cable provides the necessary charge I need so I don't have to touch it.

Must try the bluetooth this weekend. Still only used it for phone calls. Curious to see the difference in sound quality - if any.

Yup I get that. Unfortunate that one can't use a simple USB plug honestly.

I don't notice much of a difference between SD and Bluetooth quality and all my music is 320 on both devices. Switch between them depending on mood you could say, as Walkman is set to start a shuffle track automatically while the SD is for specific bands or albums (no playing with phone while driving and all that)

It can't auto sync with my daily internet radio station recordings from my media server though. Reason I am sticking an iPod in there now.
Got a thread going on what I am attempting to do. Will link to it in a mo then you can see my reasoning.

Well no. But you can keep one SD in the car with todays stuff while the other syncs at home then just swap them the following morning.

I don't think you understand my level of laziness. If I could automate my morning dump I would :o

I like putting in the effort to set things up, but once done I don't want to touch it again.

Edit: /Queue suggestions for automating the morning dump.

Big green clean machine attached to some 3D printed copy of your arse to create proper suction, linked to timing device. Whether you have a poo or not, your bowels will be emptied at the same time everyday.

How does the fuel consumption compare between the A4 1.8 and 2.0? On the new models that is.
 
Saw an A8 this morning, automatically thought of Mike...

It's meant to be Mike, it's meant to be...
