Did you know that he was....
Ian Thorpe is part of a very select group of high-profile Australians known as Audi Ambassadors.
Each Ambassador represents the Audi brand through their choice of vehicle, which in Ian's case includes the high performance motoring, streamlined design, Audi RS4 - the world's fastest estate car; the Audi S4 - another of the company's stable of thoroughbred sportscars and the award-winning new Audi A4.
Audi is proud to call Ian Thorpe an Audi Ambassador.

It's a long story mate, but goes along these sorts of lines.
I was late onto the RS4 que and missed the first allocation. Audi put me on the reserve list in case people pulled out of a purchase. I was comming out of a turbo charged volvo so wasn't too bothered until I drove my mates S4. Then I got the bug for quattro and had to have one.
Anyway, to cut a long stpry short I badgered everyone.. my dealer, other dealers, audi Uk .. even went to the motorshow to kick up a fuss (and apart from a girl on the stand saying her boyfriend had one for £55K [img]images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]) there were none left in the country apparantly.. no chance of getting one.
A few days later Jay Kay is given a RS4 by Audi [img]images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] . To say I wasn't amused (not by JK) but by Audi Uk was a bit of an understatement.. of course they can find a car when it suits them.. typical of big companies etc, but no car for a common guy like me.
Anyway, I ended up in an S6 with a huge discount (20%) so I went away happy.
Cheers
Dave
