Jay Kay and his RS4 Avant in Mail on Sunday

Post by Jezzer » Sun Nov 05, 2006 8:53 pm

Just looked through the 'Live' magazine that comes with the Mail on Sunday and there is an article on Jay Kay of Jamiroquai. It talks briefly about his Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT, Ferrari Enzo and 575 Super America. However it also shows a picture of him standing by his new RS4 Avant in Avus Silver to which he quotes the following:
'This is the second generation of Audi RS4 estate and its my every day car. The build quality is expectional, as is the performance, and there's space in the back for the dogs. It's understated, yet has enough of an air of aggression that I like. And it handles on rails. From a safety point of view, in terms of the power to get out of situations and the braking capability, it's unsurpassed. If I could only have one car, this would be it.'

Isn't it great to read something positive about the RS4 for a change instead of looking at threads on this site about depreciation and Audi getting it wrong and what a white elephant it's turned out to be.

Is there any chance of getting Jay Kay to come along on one of the meets, according to the article he lives in a very large manor in Bucks.

Isn't it amazing what Audi 'sponsorship' does.... He's had the B5 RS4, RS6, and now the B7 RS4.... Wonder how long until he's singing (no pun intended) the praises of the R8 ;)

But he's also a car nut, and known to not be good at "corporate speak"!

The guy is a total car nut that is a good recommendation from someone who has owned enough cars to make a judgement. The comment he made was just how I would sum one up " its my every day car. The build quality is exceptional, as is the performance, and there's space in the back for the dogs. It's understated"

The guy does have a healthy petrol habit for sure. Must be difficult knowing how to spend your next million. :wink:

Does he still have that B5 RS4

could'nt agree with you more. :D I still laugh out loud when I press the S button. Some people seem to take it all a bit too seriously. Just enjoy it, be grateful you can afford it, have a laugh - the days of such cars may be numbered.
