As of Friday....

Post by 55JWB » Wed May 28, 2008 3:57 pm

I will be an S5 driver.... :roll:

different to the RS4 as we all know, but not a horrible daily drive... It certainly beats my Wife's Grand Cherokee that I have been driving around in!

There is a bit of an echo in here, but I may as well post my thoughts as and when I have any, I have not even driven one yet! :shock:

the S5 is a different car to the RS4 but I am sure wont be a horrible daily drive compared to the fantastic RS4 which I miss so much... better?;)

Glad you are getting another Audi Jason, shame its not another RS4, but you have good reason not to go there again! I'm sure the S5 will be great, I really like the look of them. Bring on the RS5.....

Edited to say - your plate will look good on that as well :thumbs:

Nice car, I have a 3.0 TDI on order,

On a humorous note rather a lot of pics of your knob do you not think?

What can I say, I am a bit of an exhibitionist ;)

Also when I took the pics people were asking for some decent pics of the carbon trim as not many around just yet....;)
