We reviewed the B8 RS4 at launch in Germany - Jethro Bovingdon wrote the piece and it was the lead driven of issue 173. There isn't much more to say about the RS4 which is why it's not been seen in another feature, as of yet. My RS4 longtermer was featured in one of our videos on youtube (search for evotv) with an RS6 and GT-R. Pointless and small, yes - they're updates on what the car is like to live with, I'm given a word limit each month.
*there are

Call yourself a journalist...

Now, rule 1, with custard, NEOW!
No matter where you go, there you are.

No, he meant they're...they are...as in 'the segments (they) are'... or 'they're' for short.

There are appear to be other cars on your fleet that get more space for updates than I've ever seen about 'your' car

It would just be nice to hear more about your overall thoughts given you have probably done more miles than many/any true owner
Understood. If I was a reader i'd like to read more on it too, what with it being one of my 'dream cars'. I'm not sure on the reasoning behind this - I presume it's because my writing isn't exactly award winning and there are more 'interesting' cars on the fleet. The 'goodbye' is in the next issue, I try to sum up the car as best as I can in 700 words. I'm hoping that you will all mostly agree with my thoughts.

There's really no need to be rude.

Custard? Where would you like this custard (given the RS4 has departed)?
