Re: Car Wow - Audi RS6 v BMW M5 v AMG E63 v Porsche Panamera - DRAG RACE

...my first experience with an RS6 after 6 years of S4s.. It may not be the fastest car among the fastests on a drag race but after having it for 3 weeks and driven 2.5k miles on a round trip from London to Lake Garda in Italy, driving through French autoroutes, Italian autostrade, twisting roads i...

Re: Do I go for a C8

My tuppence worth: I have had two RS4s from new (B7 and B8) as I have two kids and live in Central London - always want the alround package of space / practicality for a family with the ability to give it a rip when the opportunity arises. With the kids getting bigger and the RS4 moving to a V6, I w...

Re: Collected today

My B7 and B8 RS4s came on Pirelli’s. Swapped over to Supersports on both at first opportunity. Have decided to make the move up to the 6 and should be collecting my Vorsprung in a couple of weeks - am assuming I’ll not be getting Super Sports! Am very excited to be moving up to the 6 - feel that I’m...

Think he’s flooded the engine there. Might be time to get the WD40 out

Re: Another soon to be RS4 owner..

Take the RS4 badges off and swap the v-spokes for rotors and that's my motor!

And you'll not be surprised when I say I like it!

Enjoy

Re: AMI connection lost.....

Cheers fella - noted. I fell victim to the tyranny of convenience as I work a 5 min walk from Apple on Regent St. I am a lazy b'stard and I paid up.

Fools and their money and all that...!

Re: AMI connection lost.....

£25 later for a new Apple 30 pin/ lightning adapter and all is well again in the B8. Weird as the old cable would charge the iPod but not allow it to connect to the AMI. And £25 for something that cost 30p for a 9 year old to knock out in a Beijing sweatshop is disgraceful - I only have the iPod as ...

Re: AMI connection lost.....

Yeah - back up plan is to load CDs onto Jukebox for kids at least and maybe if I have time do an SD card.

Farkin' annoying though.

Re: AMI connection lost.....

Thanks - not sure it's a software issue with the iPod. It stopped working without any software updates as it hadn't been connected to my laptop for a month or so before then. It's a right pain in the backside as we're off to Cornwall with the kids on Thursday and it'll be a long drive without Humpty...

AMI connection lost.....

I'm at a loss here for next steps - turning to the collective wisdom of you lot before reverting to the dealer. I have an iPod Touch and for the last year been connected via AMI cable in glovebox for music. All well and good as the kids get to use the full benefit of my B&O system for their nursery ...

Re: EVO magazine write up - dynamic steering

Have to say that I don't like the dynamic steering...my least favourite part of the car. Was warned against it, but too tempted by the value for money that you get from the sports pack to pass it up. Same as one of the earlier posts...too light in comfort and too heavy in dynamic. Plus the ratio ch...

Re: Collecting tomorrow!

so the phone works over bluetooth while the nav uses the local sim?; i guess thats a reasonable feature.. Guess you would need to watch data useage - the google mapping uses quite a lot if you pay for use or have a cap.. Yes. It can bond via BT for calls and SIM for data. As above, 6 months unlimit...

Track Days

My 40th next year - my best mate also 40 the month before. We have a small group of mates who we've known for +20 years and we were thinking of a day at a track as a joint event. We're all petrol heads to a greater or lessor extent and are all lucky enough to be earning ok money. Looking for a recom...

Re: Initial musings

Oh my f**king Christ. Today I hit 1200 miles and have decided to allow myself to push towards 8k revs and floored pedal. Clear stretch of road and a pedestrian old fart in front of me so I decided to push it fully for the first time. Dropped a gear on the paddle and floored the pedal to over take......
