    If you don't mind putting your money into your coupe like you have been I'd continue down that road as its a real looker and probably quite unique like your number plate

      I'll take you for a run in mine if you like, see whether you can resist a bit more performance

          an 1.8t with a proper turbo on it is no slouch

                  Well said mate,

                  Even after all the cash I have thrown at mine I would definitely agree with that. Travelling changed my life, a bloody awesome thing to do. I'll be going again thats for sure and probably selling my coupe to pay for it.

                  On the flip side of things I love my 1.8t and cant wait to get it mapped properly. My coupe is also fwd and I feel actually handles pretty well. Yeah in the wed it can get a bit hairy but I dont go hooning in the wet. It all depends what you want to use the car for.

                    Depends what you want if for, your coupe does look really nice. Personally I dont see any point in high power front wheel drive audis, just not my thing. But if you want a nice car to take to shows, enjoy cruising about in and have a bit of oomph a 1.8t dropped in there could make a nice car.

                    RS4 is a totally different beast, and level of financial commitment.

                      Completely agree Andy, that's what mine is built for. Now its more or less there it shouldn't cost me too much more to maintain (touch wood), and its cost me less than a nice S2 and way less than a nice RS#

                        When not hedge your bets - get one tit done and you'll have enough left for a trip to somewhere nice, like Somalia

                          Just make sure you have enough spare socks to stuff her bra so it looks like she has got two equal size boobs! (you would look stupid walking around with a lopsided woman under your arm)

                            I wouldn't bother with power mods on a 2wd coupe leave it looking nice but buy an rs4
                            If it was quattro then keep modding

                              Taking everyone's comments into consideration I think I will keep the Coupe for the minute!

                              I think it's fairly straight forward getting a 1.8T in there, it not being a quattro doesn't bother me too much as I only tend to cruise around, also maintaining it will be pretty cheap I would think?

                              I have already done some travelling so I'm not totally missing out on that, although I will go again sometime in the future! and once I have a bit more money the RS4 or a S car can come later. Maybe even a Porsche 964 Carrera 4

                              Be great if a Ragusa green S2 came up =D Id probably go for that if the price was good!

                                Cheers mate, I do like the number plate, but only when using German pressed plates with the spacing like this...


                                Has anyone seen this RS2?


                                Quite nice I think?
