If it takes you 4 hours in that car you need to hand over your man card. 2:45 Downtown to Downtown. DO WORK!

Just got her home. Drive great. I'm going on Vacation next week and I'm leaving her with Steve Ott to check out for me. When I return, I plan to get some numbers.

Whenever I get a new car one of the first things I do is give it a thorough detail inside and out

It's just one of those things which makes the car feel like its really mine

Enjoy it in good health

I enjoyed my few hour drive home with the new TT. I would say it was uneventful except for the 6 or so times that I stalled at a red light. This ATS Triple Carbon clucth is no joke. Any tips on breaking her in?


Here is a shot from the iphone on at a rest stop on I45 between Dallas and Houston.



I weighed her at a truck stop.


All tucked in.

Launch the car a few times. That's how I broke my clutch in. Worked like a champ.

I can't believe Peter had this car for 4 years and the clutch is not broken in. Did he ever drive it?
