Lol, best advert ever! i sure hope he isnt selling it from his own or with his own number, can you imagine the bunch of loons who will be harassing him for a test drive?

Also interesting about the 3 gearboxes and the fact the tune has come off now.....

That's is cheap for milage I think. However I feel it may have been a hard 75000 miles.

Now that's how you advertise a car. Thing is, I bet he gets more than that for it now.

Why would he get more? First guy who wants to buy it will put their money down, done deal at that price, innit?

There's always some idiot (dealer?) willing to pay extra for a 'celeb' car hoping to tidy it up and make a fast buck.

Can the S tronic box in the S4 comfortably handle these power upgrades?

Chris makes a point in stating that the last gearbox has not handled any more than standard power and it seems fine now.

There seem to be a lot of people with maps (stage 1 & 2) who haven't had any issues though?
