Hi all

Post by mustdash » Wed Apr 16, 2014 7:26 pm

Evening all! I've just signed up (with the help of Phil and Mike to get round the forum-not-liking-my-email-address issue).

I currently drive a Renault Megane RS250, however, am now seriously looking for a B7 RS4. The other half would like me to get an Avant as an alternative smelly, wet dog lugger (her Freelander currently has that task), but I prefer the saloon. Needless to say, I will probably end up with an Avant.

I'm looking forward to perusing the forum over a mug of tea.....
CURRENT: Montecarlo Blue Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifolglio, 2.9ltr bi-turbo, 510bhp
PREVIOUS: Volvo V60 Polestar, build number 149/700 worldwide - 3ltr straight 6 turbo. 350bhp remapped to 400bhp. Only one of 120 in the UK
PREVIOUS: Misano red B7 saloon, stage 2 map to 425bhp, manifold flap delete, KW V3 coilovers.

Saloon - for the discerning RS4 owner.

Avant - for the rubbish run, IKEA run and any other menial task.

You know the saloons are better and quicker :P :assflash:

Welcome mustdash; glad you got the registration sorted. :thumb:

Now, about the saloon v Avant debate. You'll have to get used to people assuming you're delivering something if you get the latter. However, if you get a saloon the public will assume it's a minicab, so be prepared to be hailed in the street, especially late at night by drunks. Oh, and your interior will smell of kebabs and stale vomit. :D. And it won't be as fast as an RS4 'van'. Or, in fact, any van :D

Far too fast to be hailed - besides, the 'nightlife' will be gathering around the Avant pie van thinking it's the local nighttime munchies being sold... :biggrin3:
