Oh yes. Just got back. 24 hour delay after the ladies in my life both picked up a stomach bug on Friday.
First impressions are it's not as big as I thought it was going to be. In a good way. Admittedly the A11 isn't Cadwell Park, but placing the car is a lot easier than I thought it would be. The only time you remember it's over two tonnes is when you're slowing down for junctions and roundabouts. I got caught out a couple of times by that. Ooops.
It's a lot quieter and better insulated than the RS4 which is, I suppose, what left me feeling cold on the test drive last March. The interior is a lot better put together too. Lots of toys, which of course I'll come and ask you all about, rather than read the manual. I reckon the parking camera will come in useful in London.
Audi Norwich were pleasant enough to deal with, and my wife got the usual bouquet of flowers (which I tested the load area fixing kit with - I'm pleased to announce it worked).
Now where are the keys? I'm off out again.
