    Badges spotted recently...

    Two new forum posts in one day, I'm on a roll!

    Actually I've been meaning to post about this for a while now.

    Cars with unusual badging. Not necessarily relevant badging...

    Back in March I was driving on the A505 and following an Audi A2 "RS" 1.4 TDI (!!) ...needless to say, it was amusing and somewhat irritating at the same time!

    A few weeks later I was on the M4 and saw a first generation TT, painted a very bright metallic green. This car was marked up as a TT TDI, and the registration plate was marked B10 FWL (Bio fuel) ...so I can well believe this one was a genuine conversion, and given the essentially Golf based underpinnings, I presume it wasn't too difficult to achieve.

    My very sluggish Golf NA diesel certainly couldn't keep up

    The TT from what I remember is to do with one of the vagparts guys, there should be pics on autometrix's site or google of it

        I came across an A2 that was badged up as an S2 once... I was in my coupe at the time, he really tried to race me and I oblitterated him by going around the outside of him on a roundabout. Had to demonstrate what a real S2 was capable of so he recognised the error of his ways (but I'm sure he didn't...)

            Funny that think I met his friend on the a1 up here 2 weeks ago it was a red a2 with his huge 15" RS4 reps on!! For some strange reason he thought he could burn me off in his powerful 1.4tdi so I let him have his glory to about 75mph then dropped it to 4th caught the little :corey: quickly!! give him a wave and flew off its the only way to deal with these wannabes!!!:mischeif:

              I think the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life was that Audi A2 at ADI a few years ago with 'fairy lights' in the front Audi Rings... I PMSL at that. The best bit was, the owner was proud of it.

                Shhhhhhhh... don't mention the A2OC, especially after what happened the last time... audiman defended the S2 Forum's honour with brutal efficiency

                  pfft... diss the A2 all you guys want... personally I like getting obscene MPG out of the daily driver - more money to pour into the S2 at weekends

                    It was a bunch of A2 owners who tried to invade the forum some years ago. Was rather amusing and brief.
