So the cat is finally out the bag. I heard about this a week or so ago from a 'little birdie' :biggrin2:
Come on then, lets have some pictures. :boots:

Have you sold your RS4 yet John, and if so who to (trade or private) ?
Will we be seeing the new owner on here...

Sounds like there'll be more porkers than Audis at the meet tonight at this rate :assflash:

See you guys tonight - looks like the Porka's are taking over - Lagoo should be there in his GT2 as well.
We may even have a Gallardo there tonight too. :thumbs:
Cheers,

Nice to see you all, and journey home was problem free and snow free :thumbs: Gonna need an hour or two with the washer and sponge though still not quite as bad as John's car :biggrin3: :assflash:

Yep, great to see you and the others too mate.
Nice to put a few more faces to names too.
We had a 'spirited' drive home too - ~!10 on the lightwarer bypass :twisted:

I can fix that - lend it to me for a week or two :lol:

Didn't sleep a wink last night. Too busy trying to figure out a way to join the '996tt set' :sekret: :roll: :lol:

Nice car JohnRS4 ( or is it now John 996Basault - I think that's the colour)
I'll accept a test ride next time - actually cannot make the next meeting - the April one !
I presume Pete made it back ok in the R32- weather forecast for that area looked a bit grim when I gat home last night.

talking about 4 wheel drive and snow, I actually struggled on the snow on our estate roads this morning - I think the tyres are too wide making it slide too much when turning. Fine when i'm in a straight line though.

Managed to get the traction light on but I had to be deliberate with the right foot ! Seems to have been very difficult in the Bracknell/Camberley area but Windsor Maidenhead Reading seems to have escaped ! Simon in Bracknell it rained/sleeted thursday evening then froze and the small amout of snow then fell on top !

I am on bigger tyres and wheels than you Simon, and coming home from Andover last night in quite a bit of snow, I was surprised at just how much grip my RS was generating both under power and braking... interestinlgly enough the BMW in front of me went for a spin on a straight bit of road with no brakes on, or steering input and ended up facing me... and he was on 255/30/18 tyres.
