It's about to arrive

Post by jonp » Wed Mar 05, 2008 9:22 pm

Just to let you guys know that the new R8 arrives on Monday (10th) and I have to say goodbye to the RS4.

She has done 80,000 miles and been really superb, but she is going to a great home.

I am sure the R8 is going to be fantastic, however I am not sure how reliable a hand-built car will be doing 45,000 miles per year - we'll see.

There have, apparently been 15 recall's issued already....

Anyway, realy loooking forward to her arrival.

Thanks Andy, have read and posted an idea/reply there.

I am about to start negotiations on servicing - basically find the best deal (10% on parts, 20% labour) - but one of my criteria will be access to Audi Desktop to look at Audi GMBH/UK technical issues.

Over the years I have been fed up with Audi dealers not always telling the truth
