Hi all, Im from South Africa, Great forum by the way, im part of the Audi Club of South Africa, and drive an Rs4, Here is a story and pics of what happend to another Rs4 diver when he took it in for a service!

Attached are some pictures I took of an ‘incident’ that took place just around the corner from where I work in Lonehill, Fourways on Friday afternoon.

The story goes:

The RS4 was in for some repairs at the local Audi dealership, and two of the ‘workers’ decided to take it for a test drive. It turns out that they were actually racing another employee from the local VW dealership in a Polo TDi (last picture). He apparently knows how to use the brakes ! There were no apparent signs of skid marks or any attempt to stop by the Audi. It simply went straight through a complex wall and into a tree ! The perps. are shown in the pictures numbered 20 & 22. The two ‘gents’ in the black shirts were in the RS4 (tall one driving) and the guy with the beanie was driving the polo.

Unbelievable !

The pics...

i mean who races a polo against an Rs4, the dealers in SA currently have a bad name as this is not the first inccident not only that apprently the dealership didnt have insurance!

Incredible! On the plus side on was killed. Even with no warranty I am sure the dealer repaired/replaced the car?

Well pics where posted in Novmember when i joined the site, and Incident happened in September! And no, car was not repaired was writen off, and a replacement car was offered, but not same spec, and different colour, and because the RS4 is not made any more could not get a new one! the guy just wanted the money for the car, or what the insurane paid out! but because they had no insurance, no money was paid out!

That's testimony to Audi's build quality!

Most other cars would have ended up with that being a fatal accident! Altho it may have been one if that was my car and i'd got my hands on the driver!!!!

I'd be demanding a brand new top spec car to not go to the press!.
