I'm afraid I'm still a turbo virgin Andy, my wastegate has yet to be blown. I went for the Legacy, I know - age and all that, but don't forget I need that room for hitchhikers and rolled up carpets. I ticked every box I could find though, and it's a lot of fun to drive. Which is more than I can say for most Audis, which rank pretty high on my Hit Parade of boring drives.
Talking about still getting a thrill when the chopper goes up, it sounds like you may have had the same Audi git we had. I can still see him now, sneering down his multilingual nose and spitting Swiss? Dutch? English? at us. After he gave us the big finger we watched the Chopper take off with two empty seats, - now what exactly was the point of that???
I never let the twats out of junctions now....

The Lego's a great car H, was nearly tempted with the 3 litre estate myself. I'd take it over a bog standard 3 series every time. The A4 does not even show up on my radar. Can anyone name an Audi built in the last five years that has decent ride quality? I wouldn't mind the bone-jarring ride but they're not overly keen on going round corners either. And the four-pot engine is crap. And the aspirational bastards who drive them tail-gate you on the motorway. And and and...

Hey, it's CA's very own grumpy old men  ;D

Ooh, forgotten about the heli flights!

Given that it's my 25th year this year, need to mark it with something a bit spesh so this might just do the job ... can anyone vouch for the enjoyment factor?

;D

I thougherly reccomend it, great value at £50. First time I did it was 2 years ago. The pilot picked up a Vette at Tetre Rouge and stuck with it the length of the Mulsanne, bloody awsome. One complete lap and then cut accros from the first chicane to Porsche curves on the second. Go for it Rick

Did you have to book in advance - or turn up and wait?

thanks

Stu.  Both times I have been it was about 11ish on Sunday. No booking just turn up and it was about a 15 minute wait.
A tip ----  Don't mess about when you are told it is your turn, be the first out to the chopper then you can grab the seat in the front beside the pilot, the best place to get photos
