    Yes, it indeed is green. I really like it... think it's better than the standard light (yellow or orange or whatever). :cool:

    @half man half biscuit
    You're right. Sometimes I go by those fire engines, but I'm not allowed to drive them myself - no "big" driving license. Or sometimes you see me in an ambulance ;)
    (Only voluntary work, I'm working as a laboratory technician.)

    Yeah, the hat would be cool. Can you show me a picture? lol :drive1:

    Laboratory technician is indeed interesting. At the moment I'm working in pharmaceutical quality control. Much laboratory work and almost same amount of paper work. Every single fart has to be documented (or so they say) :D

    Comfy ... yes, monstrous ... yes; still my little pug is faster around a track ... even with the 780's container unhooked :D

    That's some mind-blowing amount of torque there. At what RPM precisely :confused: :p

    Yeah, the torque is awesome, specially going thru the Mountains with ~30,000lb on the floor. It doesn't slow down much :biggrin:

    Audi A3 Ambition 1.8T with a lot of extras, 150 HP Max speed 217 km/h, it actually runs 225 (speedometer).
    Looks the same as: http://www.garage-dieziger.ch/b7f817cbd04cdd05e7f0b72110ed025f_Audi.jpg

    It's quite old already and my next car probably will be an Audi TT.

    I love Audi! German quality at its best!:) (Cannot afford myself a good Porsche, though..need the money for better things than cars...lol)

    Had the chance to test-drive one of those (2009 model). According to specs where I live, it actually produced 160HP from the same 1.8lt TFSI engine. I liked the power and (interior) quality / feel of the Audi. Driving-wise, I was more impressed by the BMW 1 Series. Must be the rear-wheel drive that does it for me...

    The 2009 model is very nice, the engine is more advanced than mine and has 10 HP more and the 2009 model is better designed. A good friend of mine has it... I like the design of Audi and Porsche. I don't like most Mercedes and BMW (sorry dareckibmw..lol..;)) designs, though. Rear-wheel drive feeling might be impressing when having a few HPs more, but a nogo when driving on snow or even iced roads...
    ATM I fancy an Audi TT :worthy:

    Yeah!

    It's a matter of what I really can afford, anything else is a dream.
    I could buy one TT (one year old) with 2.0 TFSI 2010 model with 211 HP and could afford petrol and insurance for it lol....

    But if money doesn't matter I would wait and go for a R5.
    This is the best car in design I have ever seen (only on paper, though). Audi designer rock.

    Or even a R8:

    For me personally,AUDI makes the best looking cars.
    Dunno but they attract me some how,like a cute girl with nice curves :eek:

    For me the top 3 AUDI´s are

    1. Audi a5 just look at him how bright he is compared to the other cars around him SICK

    2. R8 lived in germany so say many of them there Awesome design,it´s like your sitting on the ground

    3. Audi 8 looks inside like a space ship, so many colors and the design just awesome


    @ Yen If you ever win in Lotto please bye me and X86 a nice tuned R8,because we are your yes your friends LOL HAHA :eek: :p;)

    1996_Ferrari_F50GT12.jpg 1996_Ferrari_F50GT9.jpg 1996_Ferrari_F50GT2.jpg 357065.jpg

    ... cause that's my all-time dream car. No worries if it's too expensive even for a lottery winner - as my No2 is a cheaper alternative :D
