Looks great with the blackened chrome. Are those wheels the latest 'anthracite' ones? They finish the look off nicely - very 'RS6+!.

Don't fret Jonny, better than sending them to the government training camps called "public schools". That private school education will pay off in the long term, just in the mean time its a crippled pocket.

Eddy,
I'm currently looking at B5 RS4's, but an S3 would be an alternative.

Interested to hear why you're considering going from RS4 to S3?

S3 plus's are:
- Fuel
- Reliability (newer car)
- Cost of Running

RS4 would be:
- Practicality (4 door + avant) - for kids
- Image
- Lack of depreciation
- Pace

Good to hear your thoughts having lived with an RS4.
