Just pulled onto the drive for a Police Q7 to follow me in. 'Is this your car sir etc etc' so anyway, turns out there's a stolen blue RS4 Avant going around Slough/Heatherow area that keeps changing its number plates. Apprantly they watch the 'for sale' areas on the interweb and copy the numbers. Dont know about you guys but I always check the plate out when I see another RS4, you never know one day it might have your number on it
Needless to say they're using the stolen motor for no good

My mate had that happen in his mondeo, he was driving down the street and his thought process went like this
1) That Licence plate coming towards me looks familiar
2) Wait a minute, that's my car
3) No, No, I'm in my car
4) WTF it looks identical

I spend a lot of time in Birmingham and have never been stopped by the police or had any hassle in the year I've had mine and mine's grey.
Apparently a local main dealer chain has had a few RS4s go missing recently from their various sites.

Would a hit man drive a car that stood out amongst the crowd?
Dont think so.

IT is probably cheaper than advertising in Yellow Pages.
