RS in the Dales
RS in the Dales
Just thought I would share a few pictures from a recent holiday in the Yorkshire Dales. The perfect car for a family holiday! The road from Hawes down to the Ribblehead Viaduct was a lot of fun
Another to add. Taken on the Honister Pass. Love this road in the RS4!

Re: RS in the Dales
Thanks mate. The second to last picture had quite a bit of post processing!! but surprisingly the others not very much. Just a slight bit of darkening to bring out the definition in the sky. It amazes me how blue avus does look in certain lights.

Re: RS in the Dales
Lovely pics and saloon for the win! It looks like it's about to devour the dales!
Dectanes I know split opinion, but for me I love a bit of chintz!
Nice car, nice shots

Re: RS in the Dales
No SS suspension unfortunately it has the usual 10's and 8 spacers. Shame the front hight doesn't match the back (very noticeable in the first picture) Lowering the front is next on the to do list!

Re: RS in the Dales
the first pic is probably due to the weight distribution with the eneven parking , on a flat garage floor i,m sure it wont look like that ,, its what made me think it has SS due to the rear , again i think in that pic due to the uneven terrain.
i,m a bit averse to lowering the front , its an optical illusion due to the wheel arch shape the car floor is level front to rear , if you lower the front you will end up with issues with damaged flexi pipes or cats with speed humps or hitting dips at speed , mine are well scraped and its at std height, it can also affect the handling/stability as there is more weight transfer to the front under braking although you probably wont notice , the SS is apparently lower at the back for handling reasons but i cant remember where i saw that

Re: RS in the Dales
The Dales aren't far from me, so a blast up Wensleydale, detour to Ribblehead for a brew at the buttie wagon then return via Swaledale is a fairly regular run out. Just great scenery and fine driving roads Nice pics too!
