RS4 due in June - irst car in 10 or so years that isn't soft top and no I do not dress hairs
Currently S4 Cab
Previously:
Elise 135R
911 (996) Cab
TVR 5L Chimaera
TVR 4L Chimaera
Lotus Elan
VW Corrado
Seat Ibiza
911 to Elise was because my company was in trouble and needed the money and felt that nothing would compare with 911 so needed to change the rules to something completely different. Elise 135R was awesome but impracticle (but we all know that) but now the mighty RS4 is available and, haven driven it, it easily competes in power (more than enough) and handling with the 911 (996).

Interesting. That says it all really I always thought the B7 would appeal more to people who had never had an RS4 before. Those with a B5 are not that keen to change. They lose too much. Everyone else has everything to gain.
I thought there would be more BMW migrants though.
