Hey Lady P
If your near the Midlands, come along to the meet on Sunday, you may not be able to pull your top down though as it may be moist i.e. drizzling. But it would be good to see a convertible. Who knows, it may brighten up and you might be able to let your extinguisher off.

I'm a people person so I thought I'd sugar-coat it for her.

Got a new fat arsed Boyfriend or were you just wrong?
Lady Penelope wrote:Flat bottomed wheels were designed for the American market and fat, lardy arsed blokes who are full of hot air and couldn't fit in the cockpit under a conventional wheel.

On the other hand, slim, long legged ladies with more racy desires fit more than comfortably under the proper wheel and need no more 'room'.

I'll leave the 'flat bottommed wheels' to you lardy arses that need them as you fumble in your no doubt snow washed jeans as you picture rolling roads whizzing along....

Off to Waitrose to slum it with the other mummies over dinner tonight when my kids are with my ex..

Have a good weekend all!

Lady P

Oh, and you know what they say about a Lady in the kitchen don't you?.....
Lady Penelope wrote:Not all Americans are fat but the flat bottom steering wheel is for fatties.

There are lots of Audis in the USA with them because they need them there to allow the drivers more room in the cockpit.

According to me and I am always right, you boys need to get used to that..

Put that on your rolling road and rev it!

ps we need more rules on this forum, I found the 40 plus ones. We need ones for the women or should that be woman? Me....

Anyway...like I said last August.

I think a manual TTRS wheel would look good in there and doesn't require any re-coding for your car.

Don't go for the lesser S4/S-line/TTS versions as it will lack girth and feels wrong compared to an RS wheel; you also need to be careful as modern airbags are dual stage and not single stage like ours. The later dual stage will not operate correctly with the steering wheel harness. Another thing to consider is that your handbrake and gearknob are covered in perforated leather and if you put a smooth leather wheel in there, it would look weird.

As chance would have it...I have a manual TTRS wheel with contrast stitching & Airbag all ready to go into an RS4 - which I shall be looking to sell soon. So if you're interested just let me know.
