Three months already!
I'm still very much smitten, the old girl makes me smile every time I turn the key.

Update:


Just on 3000miles together on the run to work this morning, still very much smitten.
She's in need of a wash though.

So far she's been an absolute gem, makes me smile ever time I drive her...I actually enjoy filling her with petrol.

Update:
4500miles together now, took her up to Liverpool and across to the isle of man for the manx classic sprint the other week, she ran like a dream & was a pleasure to do the journey in.
Upon arriving home I a couple of small splatters of black grease on O/S/F wheel.....I knew what that meant straight away, the CV boot had small split and had not lost much grease at all, no damage to the CV joint.

New CV boot £9.99+ VAT, fitting it was a doddle.


I'm Still smiling every time I turn the key.

Cool.

Nice little blog you've got going on here. Loved the sound from the videos you took (rear facing).

Update:
Another 1000miles now (just racked-up 900 of those on our holiday in the Lake District)..total 7000miles together.

The car performed superbly (As always), she didn't even notice the boot and back seats being full to the window level with camping gear and suchlike...I'm as smitten with the S4 as I was the day I got her.

Had a fantastic time, will post some more pictures once resized:

Had a set of Avon ZV5s fitted yesterday afternoon, nothing much to say other than they seem quieter at speed than the RainSport2s were.
Will be interesting to see how they compare once they have had a few miles under them and are all scrubbed in.


Have a good weekend you lot.
