Im waiting for people to start criticising Tiff 
Think he did very well in a short space of time. Im fine with racing, but being asked to drift someone elses 500bhp rwd turbo round a wet track? I was bricking it for him!
Spotted Andy Barnes working on the Soarer Tiff was borrowing

I was a bit surprised that Tiff struggled so much. But I guess it couldn't be further from racing if you tried. Good effort though.
Shame about that nasty red blob Fatboy Ford was driving.

I think the new TT looks quite good. It is just a shame that it will continue to be purchased by women and hair dressers!
Tiffs car really was a beast... on a wet track with a wall arround the outside trying to get the back end of a 550bhp car out must have been terrifying.

No doubt I will get flamed... but if the TT is as good a drive as I have been reading, it will be my next car. I want a coupe next, and with the rear seats it fits the bill.
I have already specced it up on Audi's website - a red TT 3.2 manual with RS4 19" alloys, short shift gearbox, magnetic ride (new suspension), BOSE and a few other bits. I think it's a huge improvement over the old model.
Will hopefully be driving it on Saturday at a special Audi event in Lincoln. Also got my name down to drive the new RS4 and new S6.

The new TT jut looks like a desperate rehash of a classic shape. It's just the old one with the new corporate nose, with the rest of the car a skewed and squashed version of the old shape.
The old one was very symetrical, and very simple. They've just complicated the shape in order to call it new.
Now I wish car magazines were as brutally honest as that. Then I might buy some again.

What about VBH's comment in the MPV???

I really hate when they get all excited over a diesel mondeo that does 0-60 in 10 seconds, or an MPV that can do it in 13. It just gives all these pathetic losers the idea that they can keep up with something genuinely fast - often with dangerous consequences as many of us see on a daily basis.
