Audi A3 Sportback comes packed with even more features

IN THE great cycle of life I’m at what has become commonly known as the ‘drop and collect’ phase.

The average week is now sabotaged and sacrificed to the frenetic schedule of my sons’ sporting and social calendars — soccer tournaments, surfing lessons, rugby blitzes, GAA games, twice-weekly training sessions — not to mentioned the daily schools runs, days hanging out with friends, birthday parties, sleepovers, and the occasional surprises.

Like countless others, I’ve become envious of their varied and busy social diaries — but not so ecstatic about the challenge of delivering and collecting them from every location.
