Yup that's me.

I always loved the previous S3. In it's time it was everything that a younster like me wanted (we are talking 8 years ago so back then i was a youngster lol). It was compact, well built , powerful and aggressive. The fact that it was turbocharged also added to the excitement cause when the turbo starts to work adrenaline starts to flow.

I even remember the day that i met a S3 on my way to work (5 o clock in the morning or something empty road and the lucky bastard came from behind and overtook me) and i tried to race it with my A3 1.6 lt. Of course i didn't stand a chance in open road but in twist and turns of the country road i managed not only to stay close but even to overtake it since the other guy didn't wanted to take it too far cause he was scared of an accident! What a rush ...the good old days...when you are young you do a lot of stupid things but you never regret doing them...lol...

Anyway the new one seems like a worthy replacement and i would seriously love to own one as a second or third car (i am a family man now so it can't be my first car anymore).
