Nice one awd Thumbs Up Did my post back in June about the SQ5 inspire you Question http://www.rrsport.co.uk/forum/topic31145.html Looking forward to hear your reports as you pile on the miles. I bet Bc will be kicking himself when he sees this seen as he bought his Mrs a audi soft top and now wishing he'd got her one of these for him to play in. Laughing The performance figures are amazing and put a lot of performance cars to shame. Bow down As you say, it brings back memories of your scooby days. Good luck for monday. Thumbs Up

Great choice awd Thumbs Up , I'm a massive fan if them, so much so, I very nearly bought one he other month but not could get a delivery until well into 2Q14, which just didn't work for me.

I think reliability will be the thing that causes me to jump ship soon Wink

Will look out for your pics on Monday Razz

Some kind of speaker/valve in the back box which can be turned on or off.

It's quite loud in the cabin with it on, so actually on a long towing trip it will be nice to be able to quieten it down at the touch of a button.

Towing is the only question, I'm hoping as capable as the free lander II, kerb weight is 100kgs heavier and the towed limit is 2400kgs.

1st outing end of Oct, so that's when I'll find out! RRS gone

True.

Some many people have said "my dream car I wish I could afford it" since I've started advertising the sport.

The thing is, they're not cheap to run, and my business partner has been applying more and more guilt pressure whenever the next service/tyre bill comes in!

The truth of it is I do not want to have to afford it anymore. The running costs spoil the overall experience.

The Audi is quicker, quieter, newer, more economical, and will hopefully do everything the sport can do (within my requirements of course) for less money and less likeliness to visit my stealer! RRS gone
