Thanks chap! :)

This is a special car. With an Audi badge on it the press would go mental about it.

Controversial opinion this, but... I reckon the J VXR might just make a fantastic GT...

Goes like stink, handles and brakes brilliantly, sure... so do the Megane / CTR yadda yadda. However... the VXR has an extremely composed high speed ride, deliciously comfy seats, more convenience tricks than a monkey's got fleas, cracking infotainment system, gorgeous contact points, fantastic pedal position and usable cruise control. Six speeds means a relaxed gait at all speeds. Great boot, lots of cabin space. Basically this beast will take two people and their luggage to Juan Les Pins in a day in sprawling comfort, fun and high speed with only fuel stops.

Sure it'll do the hot hatch hooligan stuff better than most, but the class goes way beyond IMO. Much more in common with an M3 than it does an ITR.

I'm actually going to sell my beloved mint old E39 six because the VXR does such a good job at covering ground in a civilised manner.
