Hi guys i was buying a FG XR8 Auto and wanting to put a KB on it but had a thought from previous on how much the old XR8 depriciated i could not see myself buying another Ford or Holden for that matter....So i went Euro and bought myself a.....
AUDI 08 S3 Quattro turbo 2.0ltr hatch Really a fun car to drive as it has 185kw and only weighs in at 1300kg and corners like its on rails with 4 wheel drive....And is such a refined car and smooth love it....Already thought of the plates ORSMS3 heres some pics OH yeah once you go black you cant go back.....lol

Carnt go wrong with an AUDI Quattro, Euro design and apparently there very reliable but man parts are super expensive.
EG i replaced front wheel bearings in a ford EF XR6 for $75.00 each and my mate replaced his on his AUDI A4 B6 for $380.00 each

I was actually looking also at the S3 when I was in market for F6. Was nice, not as quick, also like a big car and wanted something to stay part of club. Good luck though, Audi's are nice cars.
