I got my hands on my new S5 today. I underestimated how hard it would be not to floor it until after the run in period Can't wait to get back in it tomorrow though, i'll soon be up to the point where i can really give it some welly.

Looking good steve, what spec did you get? Was it from Newbury Audi? I recently met Jeremy from there, he seemed a good guy....

Make the 7th if you can, 'like minded'

 

[SteveM]

Spec I got was much the same as most people:

Phantom Black
Black Silk Nappa Interior
Carbon Trim
DVD Nav Plus
DAB Radio
AMI
Phone Prep
Bang & Olufsen
Parking Plus
Heated Memory Seats (comfort pack)
Auto Dipping Rear & Side Electrically Folding Mirrors
Hill hold

I was planning on coming on the 7th but something's just popped up so I might not be able to make it. However I may try and get there first thing and spend a couple hours there to see what work I may want done in the future.

Yeah be nice to meet you Steve and to check out my S5 getting operated on should be worth it though when it wakes up to the awsome sound of the milktek

I was actually very lucky with my car. I went for a test drive in an S5 on the 17th May and expressed an interest in ordering one. I went along with the spec I wanted and got a final price etc and was just going to think about it. So then a couple days later I got a call from the dealer saying he found the exact same spec car I wanted (brand new, unregistered) up north somewhere in a showroom, sweet! So I put a holding deposit on it and it was delivered on the 29th May and I picked it up on the 31st.

So from putting the deposit down and picking it up, I didn't even have to wait two weeks, so I considered myself pretty lucky

I was told originally that it would've been around 12 weeks to order/build/deliver.
