Top Gear magazine Long Term Test RS4

[neckarsulm]

Does anyone read Top Gear mag?
I gather they had a long term test RS4, anyone know the colour and reg?
How did they get on with it?

I've not followed that one I've been following the Evo one which to be honest as been pretty pointless and only very small write ups.

Colour was Black, write-ups hardly worth worrying about. They liked the winter tryes... blah, blah, blah.

Evo have never done a review of the rs4 other than the pointless small write ups in long term tet - I can't understand why not? Unless I missed it completely but I don't think so...

Top Gear just rehashes whatever Evo says a couple of months later. The Top Gear TV is just the best of Evo with three idiots failing at trying to NOT make it look scripted. If Tom Ford was pilfered by Evo, Top Gear would be a vaginaless streetwalker.

I'm standing by oy62 Lxn. 15k on clock. More paint than the forth bridge. Silver leather looks tatty already.
I think that was the top gear car but not sure.

Just made at auction 46600 plus buyers fee which was just above reserve

[daytonamart]

Just checked the magazine from a couple of months back, your right!

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.

Dean

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

I couldn't find any custard so you'll have to put up with a bottle of table salt from the office. There isn't a good overview of the car park from the office and so I just picked a recognisable car for you...

Car is custard! I like custard! Yum!

Lurvly Macca, it's no car park overview but I assume that could give away too many future articles.
...and here are your Internet reps

[evodeansmith]

It would defo give away a few new long-termers.
