Well, not sure how I feel. :boohoo:

Just seen the RS4 drive off with its new owner.

Over 5 years, and 55,000 miles of great enjoyment, and beautiful V8 soundtrack to boot.

Hope the new owner enjoys it as much as I have, and 'm sure I'll be back :bigblink:

Sad moment. Why did you get rid of it?

It the moment the garage is empty, and I have an itch to go shopping!

The replacement was orderd in January, and is now built currently on its way from Germany.

As I am returning to a company car, I have chosen an A6 Avant Bi-turbo quattro, as a (semi) tax efficient motor that still does 60 in 5 seconds and limited to 155.

Havent decided what to do the the proceeds from the RS4 yet though.....

Funny you should say that...

My Caterham is my longest serving car. Had the current one 9 years come september, and it still puts a huge grin on my face every time I drive it!

Had an Elise a few years back and loved that as well.

Since I've opted back for a new company car, my current thinking is another toy, maybe of Stutgart or Modena origins.
