As title,
How much have you done in your new b8?
Got mine in october -12.
Now done 37000km = 22990mi in mine. Totally love it!
Reflections;
The exhaust sounds hell of a lot better now (standard)
The acceleration is definiteley better bow than when new!
Totally love it. Ordered c7, in one way dont know why, the b8 is sooo freakin goood!!!!

Got mine may 13 and it's just coming up to 17k miles now
It's certainly loosened up now and feels like it has more power
I was planning on keeping it 2yrs before trading in for another daily driver. Have considered a c7, but probably just a bit too big for me, although the crushing acceleration is quite a draw. May end up with another b8 again, but also looking forward to seeing 4wd C63 estate too

Oh, and in answer to your thread heading question : 'how many mikes'
I've only known of two 'Mikes' as passengers in my car. One being the wife's cousin and the other being a tech at Swindon Audi

Got mine end May '13 and have done appx 8000 miles and have loved every minute (but no Mikes or Dave's or Pauls or Steve's). This car is in a different league to the Holden SS (Vauxhall VXR to you chaps?) I had previously. I have had a look at the new RS6 but it just doesn't excite me the way the RS4 does.

Have you driven the RS6? Makes the RS4 seem somewhat ponderous in comparison!

RS6! Blimey my experience was if you're in the RS4 and approached from the rear by a 6. Get out the way...you haven't got the power to take it on.

Indeed. You'd be but a dot in their mirror!

That engine in an RS4 with a DSG box would be an awesome package
I'm still waiting to see what the SC kits are going to be like

I admit that I have not driven the RS6, I was commenting more on the looks of the 6 compare to the 4. The 6 somehow seems overdone compared to the more classy 4 - a personal thing I guess?
