Thank you for the comments. It’s a bit overwhelming. I did a lot of running around today and still didn’t get any glam shots in. Those will wait until I have my (much nicer) winter rims on.

Nice, looks great! I forgot how prominent that baseball stitching is one those seats. Do you still have any of the other TTs? Or is this one replacing one of the others?
Only one. This replaces the ‘08 3.2 Coupe Quattro which I sold 2.5 weeks ago. The beautifully prepared  ‘01 (aka gateway drug) which predates that one, and which I bought from @rrocket, is long gone.

Is the original TT still alive somewhere?

Yes. In Ottawa and with a new engine. I had sold it on to my mechanic and a friend of his managed to punch a hole in the block while street racing on A40 near Montreal.

My apologies for the hastily snapped pics. 

Hastily snapped pics are better than no pics.

Great looking car.

Very nice! The TT has such a timeless style to it, always a head turner for me. Enjoy

A couple more pics.  Car is dirty after some hooniganism. :)

Wheels look good! I like Fast wheels and was pleased with the set I had.

I must have missed the part where you talked about your new tune! LOL [emoji38]

New wheels suit it quite well. Nice choice.

One more.  Next ones will be proper glam shots.  I haven't been this giddy over a used car purchase in ages.

I love TTs and yours is a beauty.

I'm getting it done sometime in January.  My wife bought it for me as a late birthday present.  I think they're both keepers! ;)

Very nice!  So would these brakes be similar to the RS ones?
