Hi Sevy,

I was amazed by how it picks up speed, totally different to the RS4.
It properly made my heart skip a beat coming up M25 slip road earlier. 100 yard gap to car in front, gave it beans and couldn't believe how fast I was past him.

Some may mock that its just a hairdressers car, I say drive one and prepare to change your mind.

Look forward to ownership.

Jay.

I agree Jay - the acceleration in any gear is so impressive and feels effortless. I've had mine 2 months now and still look forward to every single drive in it... :D

Hope you enjoy yours as much as I'm enjoying mine so far. Will look forward to those pics after it's been detailed - have seen examples of Russ's work before so am sure it will look absolutely stunning...

Why do you think balaclavas were made ! I'm gonna buy a white one to match the car.

I just sold an R32 V6, made a great noise but massive lack of enjoyment.

Having a problem with the MMI and my iPhone 5, won't connect music. I have purchased a 27-9 pin adapter but it won't recognise it. Do you have any suggestions please.

Regards,
Jason.

Whereabouts are you based 535dboy?

If you're anywhere near Berkshire/Hampshire any time then I'd be happy for you to have a drive in my TTRS...as long as I could give your new RS4 a try! :thumbs:

Can't get a detail unto mid April with Russ.
A few photos as requested Sevy.

Thanks to Kris Gowry at Whetstone Audi, he has been really good. Not your usual dealership salesman, really really helpful and a nice guy to boot.

That looks great Jay - Suzuka really suits the TT in my opinion. Stunning... :D

How you finding the ride on the 20's so far?

TBH it drives and feels perfect, I was expecting worse. Sheffield's roads are known for being totally crap, I have avoided every pothole so far. Road noise is quite bad, not sure if this would improve with a different tyre.

Steering feels very light at low speed, not sure if this is normal or not.
