Are you switching to RS3's this year Chris? I still haven't completely made my mind up.

I think Sean was talking about the actual 2 day events later in the year. I thought the people who came to both days paid less. Or maybe it was the same price for 1 day or both days.

I'm currently running 245/40/18 Rivals and I'm thinking about trying 255/35/18 RS3's but I'm not sure they'll fit my Mk6. Anyone know? That's not a huge difference. Is there something in particular that makes you think it will be a problem? Just the increased width rubbing since I don't have much c...

Supposedly it was taken from a Mk6 that was rear-ended. Here's the link:

Anyone have any experience with these? I'm thinking about putting on in if I can find one for a reasonable price. There's on on VWVortex for ~ $700. I thought that was pretty good considering new they're about $1,400.

I guess I could pass for a very washed up James Bond after sitting on his rear end for a couple years

What is the "dress code"?
