RS3 all day, everyday. Dual clutch, great interior with nappa leather, I5 (my god is that an incredible motor with the sound to back it up), etc.

If they had brought the 5 door RS3 here, that’s what I would have. I got the Golf R because it’s the closest thing available. The sedan is nice but the hatch is awesome.

Same thing if they brought a five door M135 over. I’d get one of those too.

Does this apply if I use seltzer water for a cocktail mixer? Hopefully I'm not basically dead because of this....

I had an 85 year old dude trying to race me in a Boxster on the way to a car show a couple weeks ago. With my 11 year old in the car I wasn't going to send it but that old dude was doing triple digits easily in a 55 MPH zone. I then ran into him at the show and we talked for a few minutes. The dude did not act like an 85 year old. He was living life right in my opinion.

Ha ha! I don't know, his car took off pretty well. We were doing about 65 just cruising along and he was like a half mile in front of us disappearing into the horizon.

Not me Im 61 and have 3 good lifts a week. Never a major surgery or injury. Lipids are well in check and cholesterol is well below 150. I look better than most young people I see who are out of shape and not taking care of themselves. Luckily not fully grey either for hair. As much blonde still as grey naturally. My father was the same.

Walk bike and run among other activities for me.

Its an epidemic of people out of shape in many places.
Triple digit speeds legally for all my friends lol Taken at the gym we use in Dubai! Cheers! 61 and fit

[ourlee]

I’m fit also and quite a bit younger than you (60)

I once sat on a treadmill at the gym while my friends worked out because I wanted to go swimming. Does that count?

No problem in keeping my human engine running here at over 65. Still producing better than 40 VO2max for either a 10k run in under an hour or a 50k bike ride in under 2 hours - two or three times a week at 1200m altitude.

It's probably always been 525hp they've just been fudging the numbers for us. haha

Maybe one of these is an early G87 M2 CS Racing prototype?
