Hi all. I have been a long time lurker on here, researching purchase and then ownership of my 2007 B7 RS4 Avant in Daytona Grey.

Been meaning to say hi for a while, and to thank you all for the advice I have free-ridden on ... but finally taken the plunge to post today! (In the interests of full disclosure the timing is not unrelated to my plans for this / next car, but that is for another day).

Had the car since 2015, and enjoyed it thoroughly. Highlights being a couple of major European road trips (->Dolomites / Venice, French Alps) and some Scottish blasts

Previous steeds include Nissan 350z, Litchfield Imports T25 Subaru Impreza & Chevrolet Camaro SS.

Nice Avant mate. Get some pictures up of your old cars too.

Looks great Chris - the wide arches on the B7 really are just perfect (that and the manual gearbox)

I had an Impreza P1 for a couple of years (another brilliant sounding car) but the RS’s are on a different league in terms of build quality and attract (slightly) less unwelcome attention

You’ve certainty tested the car on some fine roads - being based in Scotland I’m biased but the Dolomites are stunning and I’m sure the petrolhead Italians would have appreciated a bit of sport

Cheers

Thanks mate! And can't resist a request to show the oldies ... gone but not forgotten.

Thanks Rich! And I totally agree on the B7 - those arches are cool, and the shape has aged really well IMHO.

And awesome on the P1. Perfect weapon for those Scottish roads. The NC500 is high on my list next time a road trip is on the cards...
