I assume english is not your first language. Does "my mistake" make it easier for you to understand?
You assume incorrectly. "My Bad" isn't english but slang first used in that amazing piece of Hollywood drama that is the 1995 film Clueless.....shall I go on ?
So then you already knew what the phrase meant! So then why act Clueless in the 1st place?

Also, if I require your english lessons sir, I will put in a request!

You seem to be under the impression I was having a pop....I wasn't. Simply interested in the use of the phrase...
As an aside, what form of the english language does "my bad" mean anything, your bad what ??????
I looked up the phrase, which still didn't make any sense. As for english lesson, I'm hardly in a position to dish them out.

You need to lighten up a little....

Just to bring this thread somewhat back on-topic...

I had a little run with an 04 plate Type-R on the way to work this morning.. coming off a roundabout on to A24, him in front of me we both punched it, fairly even up to about 80 (although he was in my way ;) ) then it was S4 all the way, CTR seemed to run out of puff after 80-90 ish and shrank rapidly in the rear-view. It was rather wet this morning tho :P

Just thought i'd throw that into the discussion arena :)

i had the 04 version..there alot faster than 80..at that sort of speed providing he's in the V-tec rev range it should ave pulled like a small train..the wet must ave been a factor that held him back..not saying your,s aint quick..but they rev up like a bike engine...

jus noticed this post but haven't read all 6 pages. this may have already been said. before my rs4 i had a s4 and b4 that i had a civic type r which i fitted a jackson racing supercharger to. it was 260bhp and it went like fook, it wud have hammered a standard s4 the big problem i had and the reason for selling it was getting the power to the road was impossibe until 3rd. why oh why do car manufactuers make "hot hatches" FWD? major wheelspin and major understeer
