I've never been spotted either :(

I think the vast majority of the newer ones are leased/company cars/not too bothered how to fix them etc., well the ones you see at commuter time when I am out in mine!

I am a member of a couple of forums and have never been spotted in any of the cars I have owned. However, I must admit that I dont bother posting spots that I have made up so this could also be the case for a lot of other forum users.

I think we should also have a RS246 hand signal to give to other members whilst on the look out. :assflash: maybe!

Ummmm .... ok: I spotted a red S3 with private plate somewhere between MK and Bedford at 8.30 ... or it could've been 5.45 ... not sure.

P.S. I've never been spotted either ...

Lt's not forget that our cars are quite rare....and sadly not every S/RS owner belongs to this forum (they don't know what they are missing) and I would imagine that some members don't even look in the spotters section anyway.

I'm quite happy spotting. If I get spotted thats a bonus. It's the ownership and driving of these luvverly cars that is really the thing.

My theory is that we probably all cruise at the same speed, so we never meet. I've spotted a few RS4s on the motorway, but usually coming the opposite way.... Well I think I have, with combined speeds of around 140 mph it's difficult to tell.

I dont post spotting B7 RS4's and RS^'s - mainly cause these forums are pretty quiet and certainly with the B7 RS4 they are getting to be a regular thing on the roads. I do flash and wave and sometimes I get a nod back... some probably thing what the hell is that yellow thing want lol.

Upset I have not been spotted.. bright yellow, noisy, chrome mirrors - CMON SPOT ME!! I have been seen by someone over on Audi-Sport. Spotted me round town once... then someone else spotted me, then the first guy who spotted me visited my neighbour and parked next to me lol. Small world, but not many people from the South on RS246... certainly not exeter. *sigh*
