Doesn't looked like they ragged it, but they did put it in couple of snow drifts! :bash:

For future reference, any VAG car starting with the reg "OY_ _ " COULD be an old press / marketing car :mrgreen:

If its got OY/OV
Its registered by Paragon Fleet Solutions in Bicester who are a business partner with VWG UK.

That includes managing the fleet of press office cars, Audi experience, funded demonstrators, relief vehicles etc

It doesn't always mean its been ragged...but reality is, its always more reassuring buying a car owned by one person rather than one driven by many...

So that would mean the 2 of the 3 used RS4's with ramics on Audi.co.uk were the demo track cars.

Don't worry, I knew I was buying an ex-Audi car. It just amused me to find the video. :)
