Golf was off like a shot, then I was all over it...ended up in the centre of Dunfermline too quickly though so gave whoever it was a thumbs up and that was that...

Don't think it was me. I do remember seeing a blue rs4 on the cairneyhill roundabout a few weeks back when I was in the rs4 (I'm colourblind so it could have been Novato or sepang)

Looks lovely, Daytona with black optics really works well. Similar to others who have made the move, I find the B8 better in all repects except for steering feel. This you just adapt to and doesn't effect how you place the car on the road.

Nice any clues? I really fancied the C7 RS6 standard 20's and did a little photoshop mockup:

To be fair I've done over 2k miles and had a 'squeak' from the drivers side for a couple weeks, which I put down to brake dust.. grinding started on Monday with no warning at all, pad wear sensor is on passenger side which had more meat
