My mate I was working with signed it in as an "audi A4 estate" at work which i was pretty upset about haha. I gave him a ride in it to 'educate' him!

I definitely need a miltek system. Neighbours won't like it though as it's my daily driver

After being in convoy with a couple of B7's I have to say they do sound incredible! :thumbs:
Haha i start work between 00.30 and 06.30 and i have to quickly start car and go or i would have all the street up lol

And it's an estate = uncool

What I found fascinating is, at 14/15 years old I had no real concept that at their age they would know what a B7 RS4 is and just assumed Lamborghinni and Porsche were their thing...

7 years old and still making yoof's point :thumb:

I had my 15/16 year old son in the car last week coming back from his football and he turns to me in the car and says Dad can I have the RS when you have finished with it?

I just looked at him and smiled, .... How do you explain that one?
My son expects me to industrial shrink wrap mine to keep it clean until he's older!
They have good taste, if the youngsters are interested now then it's definately going to be a cult car

Having our patio replaced + some landscaping done. Team of 5. I open the garage to roll out the power extension cable on day 1, and all 5 stare at the RS. 'What a beauty...' 'That looks fantastic' 'Whoah' etc.

Day 3 - today - the youngest lad (18/19 yrs old) 'can you start 'er up please'. I have the vacuum pipes off, so on startup for the first 30-40 seconds (as documented on here) she sounds awesome. He just listens for 1 minute, looks at me, says 'awesome' and walks off with a grin like a Cheshire cat.
