Really? Our mk1 TT was like that woeful car. But we have had no issues at all with the last one.
My little blue zed is in lots of bits. With lots of things started and not many finished! I may have found the limits of my time and ability!!

My post was meant to be a double entendre (vag makes me giggle like a school boy), but it also described my Mk I TT perfectly. I made in excess of £15K in warranty claims and there were still problems with it when I part exchanged it for my Zed.

Never thought about that one BMWZ4MC :rofl:

I have always had VW / Audis since I was 18, and touch wood - they have all been brilliant. Currently, I have the Audi A3 and the Golf Clipper, with the Golf being 23 years old and never has missed a beat. The Audi is a bit dull, but does it's job very nice with a gearbox that BMW could learn something from.
Current:
911-50 Black - unique spec
X5M - 575 hp of fun in a V8
Abarth 595 Comp.
Golf Clipper - collectors item
Z4 3.0si Black Sapphire
VW ID.3

Previous:
Z4M Silver Grey - non flimper spec (gone to Bing)
Z4 3.0 Toledo
