Had to offset mine - but it looks nice... imho

 

Almost everyone already knows TT stands for Twin Turbo... Btw, I just had another person tell meI had a nice Twin Turbo Audi today at oneof thelocal starbucks.

 

TT is for Tourist Trophy, the 225may have twin intercoolers, butthey don'thave twin turbos

 

I think he was being sarcastic. emphasizing everybody knows

 

At least if people think we have twin turbos they wont feel as bad when we beat them on the street

 

Yes, I was being sarcastic. It is however the most common misconceptionabout our cars thatI hearfrom other people. I usually just shake my head like I did today, although sometimes I try to explain that while the car does have a turbo that isn't what TT stands forbut that usually results in blank stares.(I had this same issue with my MR2 turbo because people would read the twin entry turbostamp on the engine as meaning it had twin turbos.)

 

i dont know whats worse, TT being called a twin turbo or it being named after a motorcycle race.

 

I hear all the time that the TT is a twin turbo 5 cylinder with a targa top... Im like "No... those are luggage rack clips". lol

 

The Royal Automobile Club is a private club and is not to be confused with RAC plc, a motorists' organization, which it formerly owned. It has two club houses, one in London at 89-91 Pall Mall, and the other in the countryside of Epsom, Surrey at Woodcote Park. It was founded on 8 December 1897 as the Automobile Club of Great Britain (and later, Ireland). King Edward VII's interest in motoring led to the command "that the Automobile Club of Great Britain and Ireland should henceforth be known as The Royal Automobile Club". The headquarters were originally at 4 Whitehall Court, moving to 119 Piccadilly in 1902. In 1911 they moved to the current address, part of the site of the old War Office. The club house was one of the largest in London, with a frontage to Pall Mall of 228 feet and a depth, in the centre, of 140 feet. It cost over a quarter of a million pounds and is described in the Survey of London as "a polished essay in the late French Renaissance manner". In 1905, the Club organised the first Tourist Trophy (TT) race — the oldest regularly run motor race. The Club became the governing body for motor sport in Britain. The RAC were responsible for organising the first British Grand Prix motor race at Brooklands, Surrey in 1926 and also runs its sister organisation, the MSA (formerly RAC MSA).

Don't worry, I think we're safe.

The Isle of Man TT (Tourist Trophy) Race is a motorcycle racing event held on the Isle of Man since 1907. The race is run on public roads closed for racing by an Act of Tynwald (the parliament of the Isle of Man). The first race was held on the 28 May 1907 over 10 laps of the St. John's "Short Course" of 15 miles 1,470 yards for road-legal touring motor-cycles with exhaust silencers, saddles, pedals and mud-guards.
The winner of the single-cylinder class and overall winner of the first event in 1907 was Charlie Collier riding a Matchless motor-cycle in a time of 4 hours, 8 minutes and 8 seconds at an average speed of 38.21 mph. The winner of the twin-cylinder class was Rem Fowler riding a Peugeot engined Norton motorcycle in a time of 4 hours 21 minutes and 52 seconds at an average speed of 36.21 mph.[1]
The trophy presented to Charlie Collier as the winner of the 1907 Isle of Man TT Race was donated by the Marquis de Mouzilly St. Mars.[2] It featured a silver figurine of the Olympic God Hermes astride a winged wheel. The trophy was similar in design to the Montague Trophy presented to the winner of the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy car race.[3] The Marquis de Mouzilly St. Mars Trophy is now presented annually to the winner of the Isle of Man Senior TT Motor-Cycle Race.

and the my favorite.

Audi TT: Tourist Trophy

Audi broke the mold when its concept TT car was presented at auto shows around the globe during the mid1990s. Named for the prestigious annual “Tourist Trophy” race held on the Isle of Man, the TT is based on the same platform which powers the Volkswagen Golf and the Skoda Octavia. Making use of anodized aluminum and a “bumper free” exterior, the TT coupe was unlike any car of its time when the first production model was released in 1998. Today, the TT continues to garner awards and win praises from Audi aficionados. If you like the current model, just wait one year and you will witness the release of a TT that goes well beyond the pale.
