Got it, very cool, wow Matt, didn't realise yours was a 130k+ car, it's in good condition!
Will try and scan in later if not beaten to it.

RE: Re: RE: Performance car magazine
Got my copy now.
Matt's car looks great
I know I may seem petty but there are a few errors in the generally good text;
It says that the RS4 got two intercoolers while S4 had one - the S4 had also had two
No mention of the RS4's larger turbos
It says RS4 got xenons over the S4 - all S4s had xenons
The only body mods over S4s are stated as unique bumpers and sills when every panel bar bumper and roof were different
It says S4 was 261bhp which it probably was, as it was actually 265 PS yet it says RS4 is 380 bhp when it's actually 380 PS = 375bhp
It says check engine and gearbox oil cooler pipes - is there a gearbox oil cooler?!

Pretty spot on really though, most of it is bang on and a good insight into buying one.

Good read. And having been in Matt's '4 I can vouch it feels great and drives as well as mine with 50k less miles on it.
Nice one Matt

Got the Mag - good article!!
Lovely, lovely condition of your car Matt, and what a fantastic advert for the RS4 with 130k on it. It's a credit to you.
These car's really can hack the mileage if well cared for (like I'm sure most on here are). I still have to pinch myself sometimes when I see 100k on the clock on mine when it still looks and feels like about 40k.
I noticed in the atricle Matt that you might need a trip to MRC for a health check - you must have put it through the Tumble Dryer as it now only weighs 870kg but obviously has a major boost leak as they could only record 7.8 seconds to 60 and a max speed of 127mph.
