Default i have to confess that yesterday i considered moving on to a more practical vehicle

one that would carry me through the seasons and be more reliable..



this morning i went out to my car and it was sitting there in the dark garage waiting to be turned on.. i pulled it out of the garage and went to close the doors behind me (old fashioned swinging door garage) and as i walked back to the car, it spoke to me. It spoke to me like the first day i saw a tt, like the first day i saw my green car, like the first day i saw this one.


i'm in love and cannot be saved. i will own this car forever.

Default Did it say "Colby, give me your visa"

it's okay, a lot of people have relationships like that, you can call it love if you want.


How about some pics of the winter set up!

Default wait till you spend time driving other cars and come back to the TT>>>

while stock it is not a monster in the performance category, or any one category for that matter, it is the whole package when tuned correctly. It was definitely a vehicle created for form over function.

It is a shame Audi did not make the MK1 more of a sports car out of the box (like they did with the MK2), but in the same breath the trip with this car has created the love for it....

I too go through the occasional "what if"m but there is nothing that moves me....

Till i find my next love...here is to the MK1 TT....specifically, Ole' Red! ;-)

Default Yeah, I'm always amazed when I drive it after being in the A4 a while.

110 extra HP, suspension and crisp behavior makes a world of difference.

Default You and me both, Colby. You and me both...>>

I've looked and can't find any thing to replace it. It's either as good or way too expensive.
