Positive, you can't still hear the stereo from 500 metres away :P

I also wonder if that system works only when the stereo is on, as there really was no engine noise in the cabin...

And yeah Nik I remember there was an E39 round our way a few years back. Amazing noise, but it's just not the same. The turbos make a sound I can't quite describe. Very angry anyway!

Or hows the E60 M5, that V10 scream is fairly intense. Had the pleasure of hearing one take on a Maserati Gran Turismo with the V8 in Newmarket last year, I think I had a mangasm on the sidewalk while everyone else threw dirty looks at the noise.

Think I saw Hans old s3 on the motorway north bound.
Spotted a black mk4 v6 4motion at sylvia park with full oettinger kit including wheels.

two A1s yesterday; a white 3dr in Takapuna and a gray 5dr in Mt Eden, both TFSI (funny, I thought they dropped the F if there's a T, or is that just VW?)

I believe Audi NZ dropped the 3 door A1 when the 5 door A1 Sportback arrived, just like they did with both versions of the A3 when they launched. I wonder if the new A3 3 door will make an appearance in NZ?

TFSI changed to TSI for VW, Skoda and SEAT. Audi maintained TFSI.

As you may already know, TSI and TFSI represents any forced induction direct injection petrol engine. The form of forced induction is irrelevant, it could be turbocharged, supercharged, or both.

In the case of the B8 Audi S4, it is badged a 3.0T (for TFSI) and is a supercharged direct injection V6.

I wonder if anyone spotted me and my brother in CHCH on Saturday, seeing as how we spotted a lot of VAG on the way to Little River  8)

2 black Audis, I know there's while there's nothing special in that: but one is a tidy S2 Coupe (the owner of which "doesn't do clubs").  The other a black '94 100, which from afar looked quite good, up close though you can see it's been repainted............with a brush!!

Also saw this Bug. I got permission to take snap and post it from a very proud owner . He bought it from Alan at Platinum, where he says it gets serviced regularly. Interior is immaculate. The bodywork, including a respray, is on the cards. Personally I like it like it is.

I haven't seen a Delta in Dunedin except for when he used to visit me in his old HF Turbo a while back. This is a new one he's just bought, an 8v Integrale. It might make a trip to Dunedin at some point in the near future.
