YEp - Thule - don't get roofbars from stealers - no need, Thule do roofbars that clamp on to the roof rails (oops just realised assuming you have an avant?) and the roof box fits on to them.

RE: Re: Airport parking

JUst make sure they are a reputable high end firm who have their own parking and I do not see there being a problem. Never had any issues and have done it for yrs with Rs4, 997s, Rs6 etc.

RE: Easy

Tedders, I think that is a normal RS4 trait, the clutch is quite difficult to control when driving slowly and is difficult to get a smooth change. As you say, when pressing on it is fine. You do get use to it but it takes a while.

Re: RE: Re: RE: The B7 RS4............A future Classic car ?

it also looks too much like a regular A4 Really? In the first 6 months of ownership at least one occupant in most cars that I passed or passed me could be seen to look and point, and lip reading usually revealed something like "Look, Dad/Mum/brother/friend, an RS4!" The differences are subtle and n...

RE: Re: RE: The B7 RS4............A future Classic car ?

I think it is too mass-produced to be a classic and it also looks too much like a regular A4 to be one.

Funny you should say that Arsey4 as my mate said he can't get comfy it in at all... And i think you are right, it sounds so good it should be quicker, it is a heavy car though.

Just a normal 3.2 TT - not an S.

RE: Trackday: Abingdon Airfield, Friday 8th August

I went to this one the other day and was not that impressed, thought the day was run really well and the guys were really friendly but the track did not suit the RS imo, too twisty and they have put a chicane on the long straight which would have been awesome. Apparently it was a new edition to the ...
