Default Sunday Confessional.

Okay... I've put it off long enough and can no longer live in the sin of secrecy among friends (at least I HOPE we can still be friends).

My little TTr is no more and original plans to upgrade to a CPO 225 TTQc were thwarted by a completely unexpected U-turn in automotive direction... By "unexpected" I mean "sedan." And by "U-turn" I mean "not European."

Rest assured I will forever fondly recall of my roadster and easliy forsee a return to the TT fold (perhaps in its new embodiment). BUT MORE THAN the car itself, I count the people I've met and friends I've made the defining experience of driving the TT.

Well, enough stalling...

(dons flamesuite, grabbing sand bucket and extinguisher)

...Mazdaspeed6.

(braces for impact)

Default Awwwwwwww - thats not that bad, at least it is not American :)

I know that I will certainly miss you a great deal, I am guessing that you will not be at any more TT-events? Or will you still, I mean after all, we are still friends IMO !

Take care buddy

Default You are forgiven, Geoff.

You're always welcome here and to any TT event, of course.

I really like the Mazda line-up, and the Mazdaspeed6 is a nice drive. Don't be ashamed!

Default Boyyy...you better have some A/C inside that suit too - you gonna have it on for a while!!!!!!! :-(

Only kidding, well not really, but you know what I mean, Geoff! Why don't you come to TT-East anyway? Maybe I'll drive my (planned) new GTI up instead of the TT, and we can be outcasts together.

Tell us more about that car - I know nussing...

Default Adam, if still "welcome" I'd love to join everyone for TT-East!

As mentioned, the BEST thing about driving the roadster was the people I met... and I'd like to not lose those for lack of a TT!

Cheers, man!

Default LOL, at least I got the "fast" version (C&D managed 0-60 in 5.4). But, yes, I'll be back.

Following my previous two, I know I can't live long without a roadster!

Default Quite a few former and even non-TT owners still attend the TT-East/TT-West events.

That's why the events are called "Audi TT owner's and enthusiast's events". It's not just about the car!

Default Ya know, I love the MS6, I just don't think it could be my only car.

I have a wolf in sheep's clothing, and it's a whole lotta fun. However, it's a totally different experience than driving the TT.


For whatever reason, Car and Driver didn't seem to be such big fans of the MS6 in their reviews...

Apart from the tinny exhaust note (easily remedied), I think it's a hell of a car.

Congrats!
