@richardhoulton4016 20 күн бұрын

225 TT with no spoiler? I wonder if it’s a pre-recall setup? I used to have a TT 225 (from new in 2001). Earlier models had been recalled and a rear spoiler, suspension changes, and ESP were retrofitted following a couple of fatal high speed autobahn “offs” attributed to lift off oversteer. Mine was a pretty safe and dull handling car. I drove a TT that the owner wouldn’t allow the retrofit on, and it was a much more lively setup. I much preferred it to mine.

I love the first gen TT for a similar reason. One of my all-time favourite TG episodes was the convertibles in Iceland shootout (in which Richard drove a 350Z convertible, James a Crossfire convertible and Jeremy a TT 3.2 roadster) and that episode made me madly infatuated with the TT 3.2 quattro roadster. In my imaginary $100 million dream garage, I'd definitely have one of those cars. And if you had that TT in this episode, I'd even rank them as TT 3.2>R8 V8>R8 V10.

Okay, so i know that MOT on older cars is more expensive and more intrusive than American licensing requirements, but your used car grass sure looks green from this side of the pond. A TT in this nick is a $6000 car in the US. The only $1500 TT i found was a "mechanic's special" with 400k miles. Then there were two salvsge title cars at $2k. The cheapest "driveable" example was $4000, and it looked like every one of its 182k miles was a difficult one.😔
