They are a classic , I mean you look at the same era other audis they look old now. Look at thr mark 2 it now looks older than the mk1. All my neighbours have new cars m140 etc and my car doesn't look out of place sat among them. It looks as moder . Theyve aged extremely well
I prefer the coupe myself. Its massive in the back with the seats down .and i from time to time need to carry stuff . So the roadster would not suit me
Top stuff Bryn. Let's get the clutch done on r lasses plz so I can enjoy a nice ride out.without her screaming in my lug holes that she can't get it in gear lol
I’ve had my mk1 3.2 Quattro manual now for almost 9 years now. I still have smile on my face every time I drive it. It’s the longest I’ve had the same car by far in my 30 odd years of driving. Love the vids, love the forum. Keep it up. 👍😎TT ❤️
I bought my 2003 TT 3 years ago...it had 82 K miles on it....best investment I've ever made....I love my car...never going to get rid of it...truly a fun ride...!!!
Very nice looking TT Bryn. Love the red leather seats and the paintwork. Your TT reminds me a little of a red Mazda MX5 which you would often see in a similar red. Keep up the great videos 👍
"just buy one" best advice ever, when I can afford to run and maintain a 2nd car for fun and weekends I'd 100% want a bam 225 or even a 180( and stage 1 remap)
Picked up a roadster 225 a couple of years back, loved it. Needed a winter car (having sadly parted company with my Jeep XJ), so bought a 225 Coupe, love that as well, design classic, and a future classic car.
Good video. I love driving with the top down. It's only when you drive through bends and the cars behind drop way back, you realise how quickly you can drive
Great video again Bryn..... My 225 is the ONLY car I've ever driven that makes me wanna just go for a blast in it.... 160k and still flying on its Badger5 map :)
I’ve really enjoyed my 225 roadster. No service book when I bought it, just a pile of receipts, but it’s been great. Worked on bits myself, replaced large parts and still probably only owes me £1500. And your vids have been a great help as well 😁
I have a 2004 tt 3.2 roadster imola red on red with 19'' porsche wheels since 10 years, i love love love my ride brother!!!!! drives and sounds amazing and very reliable!!! from quebec, Canada, cheers mate\
A lot of people know why I bought a mk1 and I know I only wanted the car to fix up and sell for a little profit, the car I bought was £1100 quid and I’ve spent £500 on it I’ve had it just over a year now and I’ve fallen in love with it the looks the drive the way it sits on the road and for 18 years old it can still outrun some of the new stuff on the road, it’s even fun to work on and fix,when you look at the amount of standard kit you get I can’t think of another car that gives you so much value for money, great video fella you and Dom are doing great things for the TT 👊🏻..
Yes ! comfy reliable if you look after it mines the tiddler 160 but for me it’s smilesvil wife likes it so peace and she still falls asleep just about to buy another to add to my fleet great car ,do it enjoy 👍👨🏻🏭
After owning over 100 cars I picked up an 01 fwd 180 roadster for a flip and just fell in love with it, this was 3 years ago and it's been my daily ever since. I now have 2, picked up an 03 225 quatro roadster a few months back and don't know which one to sell they are both awesome in their own way. Ok the 225 is better but worth more money so I'll just put them both up for sale and keep the first one that don't sell. I live in Las Vegas Nevada so it's top down year round 😎
@@BWSTT hopefully tomorrow is a good day to buy one lol 2006 convertible with 62k and its the 180bhp version, looks really tidy, thanks for all the advice fellas
@@BWSTT you could say that lol nothing serious, its kinda leans to one side, dash doesnt work (the info screen) and it "pulses on the throttle if that makes sense?
I've had loads of different cars some nice ones fast . I'd say this the tt doesn't feel as throwable as a mini. But it is. They grip a lot more than you would think. It's just the grip feels a bit numb so you think your on the edge and your not. I can take tight bends quicker than in my r53 20 30 mph quicker. You just got to find where the grip is . Thry are a bit numb but they're gripper than you think.
Finally got to fix a coolant leak in my 255 roadster this weekend and spent both days having a long blast - love this car so much. Pretty sure I have another leak somewhere, but much much smaller so that one can wait!
They are so cheap have AWD which I need because I live in a snowy area perfect amount of hp where I can have fun but I won't kill myself. Great platform to learn how to do some basic maintenance. Only problem is I don't want people at my school thinking I am a spoiled rich kid even though it only 10k
Took my 3.2 coupe out yesterday and I just basically laugh everytime I go around a bend. NEVER selling mine agree totally with this video. Style wise its a piece of Bauhaus art, there is not much out there that compares to that..Just buy one ;)
Bauhaus art, oh, absolutely, that was what attracted me to them in the first place, then I bought one and drove it, loved it even more, form follows function.
We’ve had our mk1 TT roadster 4 years now. Absolutely love it. I have a problem with headlight adjuster in the actual headlight. Is this repairable or is it a new headlight?The TT is 1.8t halogen headlight 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Awesome honest video mate great cars the bodywork on your wee roadster looks amazing Just game mine some loving over the past 2 days Oil and filter change pollen filter change a proram filter from Billy at cloude 9 also fitted my wheel spacers from Cb autos because of your video on them 😁😊 Still to do my catch can from cloude 9 my cars the apx 225 Only problem I ran into when fitting pollen filter was the windscreen cowl was a bit loose from previous fitting any tips on getting it to sit back in properly 👍🏼
I've got a 225 convertible in black almost finished renewing the running gear but I can't find those wheel caps for the original wheels that I see on your car any information you can provide maybe ??
Mine is a 190bhp 2005 model .totaly standard.ive had it 5 years now .. love it . I paid £5500 for it .its low miles . And so far i reckon its cost me next to nothing . Buy one for yourself. They are very good
I’ve seen one 03 plate 76000 she wants £3700 do you think that’s high does look smart well looked after I’ve offered £2500 and £3000 but she said no. Where do you look for under £1000

Great vid. Had my 2001 coupe for eleven years. Any suggestions for decent mechanics in the Midlands? Now that TTS is AWOL I need someone I can trust for repairs and upgrades, certainly not taking her to Audi...
@@BWSTT £2k and it’s yours. I bought it for 400 and I’m 1500 in parts on it. I think the exhaust and the lamda sensors were the most expensive. And a new steering rack.

Theres no half decent TT (ie not a complete shed) to be bought in any country in the continent for less than 7 maybe 7.5k euros. I believe prices are going up in Britain since the 1000-1500 pound running TTs with an MOT..
The same was true 5 years ago when I was looking for a new car less than 3k. Nothing comes close to the mk1 TT for the money. And I still have it and am still modifying it I just love it.
@@BWSTT just struggling to find one that doesn't have a load of problems m8, I've got bad hands so cant work that much of the problems myself so most would be a bottom less pit to me. All seem to be really high mileage. I'm on the groups etc so still looking. There's loads of 180 z 190z but been told I'll get bored with one of those pretty quick by freinds etc whove had a tt. I'll see what comes up . Cheers for reply m8
I just paid $8000 for a 2001 225 Quattro Roadster with 85k miles. Pretty mint but the roof won't raise. I'm pretty thrilled!

Great video, best time to get one right now while they are still reasonably priced. Need a roadster in my life!
Yea I love my 01 roadster
Totally agree buy one now before they become expensive like all modern classics are,they look modern even by today's cars,and do drive beautiful.
