Had to wait for some better weather, and maybe I'll clean it too at some point :

looks sweet m8, but clean the brake dust off the front wheels you lazy git

That looks fantastic, no doubt see it at No Rice.

How much did you give for it out of interest(that is,if you don't mind sharing)?

lovely mota mate god they look the dogs in nogaro - borin ol' avus for me

Forget speed junkie I'm diggin the rally look myself

I'd forgotten what OEM exhaust looked like - very nice

You took those pics from some choice angles well done mate

thanks for your comments guys, i really will make an effort with this to NEVER take it through a car wash, but to lovingly clean her by hand (even the brake dust from the wheels !)
Comin from an S4, I really wanted to capture why the rs4 is different, such as sills, arches, front bumper etc etc

Olly, what tyres have you on the car... looks great........

Cheers
Dave

erm.... i dont know, will have to check, looking at the pattern its the same as my S4, I think they are pilot gsd3's, but I'll check !

Looks like Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3

That is what I thought. I have Goodyear FI Eagles on mine...........so good in the wet!!

yep, that'll be them !

It's a beauty Olly!

hand wash is the only way to go olly m8, hows the first few days motoring been?

Alan

again, thanks for your comments guys, will have owned the car 1 week on friday, all I can say is its fantastic.
Very suprised at the power delivery difference from the S4 despite "similar" engines. The S4 has it low down while the RS4 is all about the top end !
I have "baited" a Carrera 4s but he didnt want to play, so I havent really despatched anything worth mentioning yet.
I love the looks, and the TV is a novelty in a car for me, my dad got back from hols last night and thought I as mad to spend 22.5k on a 5/6 year old car with 98k on the clock. This is until I took him out in it ! Needless to say he wants one now

I am worried about the fuel consumption, My 1st tank from empty was 230 miles, Im gonna try and drive it smoothly for the next few tanks to see what it is capable of, I have seen an indicated 345 on the DIS when driving properly but we'll see. Very worried a remap is going to make it even worse

Best car I've ever owned, although my car history is only vr6, s4, rs4.

I have an alacantara steering wheel, private plate, awe dts, short shift and remap all arranged with AmD, its just finding the time to get up there and get it done.

Insurance I think is pretty good, 700 fully comp for a 25 year old with 2 years no claims (with elephant) My 1st year with the S4 was 1600 so its going down slowly !
