I hope I don't jinks it by posting prematurely...

Currently in the last bits of admin, with regards acquiring a RS4, which should be mine come the end of next week. It's from stock (unregistered) so I could not spec.

Please keep the videos and links to reviews coming as it's all I've got until I collect.

Sounds nice, all the blacks with the red callipers to contrast will look pretty mean I think. Did you just strike it lucky & find a cancelled order?

Sounds good. What've you got currently ?

Did You strike it lucky ?

The dealer had access to a choice of three (unregistered cars)
- to be clear it is part of the friends and family scheme of audi - so maybe not wholly public available stock.

what do you drive today ?

I've had a series of decent cars, including 3 * 911's, NSX etc etc however for the last 5 years I've mainly been driving Golf GTIs/R32

I've just changed job and gone from living away from home between 3 and 4 nights a week, having to park on the high street and doing 30k miles a year to........

working 12 miles from home and parking in a gated car park at work or behind gates (in a garage, down a cul da sac) at home. So no more worries about me killing the value of a nice car due to high miles or being woken up by robbers.

Spec is not perfect for me, a bit goo much black....however I can swap it after 6/12 months without to much pain.

Looks a well specced car, you can never have too much black!

[smudge]

you can never have too much black!

That reminds me of the artist from the Fast Show.... Black, Black!!!!!

Apparently 'once you go black, you don't ever go back'

I was told this once.



She was wrong.

Insurance sorted
Flight booked (to collect)
Still some money stuff to sort out.

First drive will be a 230 mile return journey home.

Last time I did this journey, I got stopped by the rozzers for speeding, wife, kids, dog, in the mrs 250bhp, near 3 tonne disco 4.

Wonder if the temptation to speed will be harder to resist in the RS4 ??

[smudge]

At least with the RS you'll be able to outrun them, easily!

250 mile blast home in the rain and dark.
Started with 410 range now reads 18 - you do the maths - drove like a saint

Very nice -

The 410 was perhaps a little optimistic to start with. My first two tanks have taken me 520 miles, so pretty similar to yours.

Glasgow Audi ?

I was in there the day after, friday. How did you get on in dealing with them ?

What kind of discount did they offer on a car they had in stock ?
