Nice. Are both of them new to you or just the RS4?

I got peed off with not getting anywhere with the DRC problem and needed a bit more space and found this one with no DRC or that god awful dynamic steering. I wanted to get rid of it anyway as it had absolutely zero feel, a great big heavy barge that just under steered. The RS4 feels light and agile by comparison and reminds me of my old B7 RS4.

It's sunny in the RS4 photo and overcast in the RS5 photo. That's probably all :)

Pleased you like the RS4! Disappointed that you didn't get anywhere with your DRC issues on the RS5 though. I kicked off and got mine resolved - eventually!
