Anyway, got back on the motorway home and to my surprise the car was driving like I was still on a forest stage not the M53. Massive shaking through the seat and wheel. Got home gave the car a thorough wash thinking it must be mud on the alloys.
Following morning still there, I must have throw a couple of weights while on the rally. Into the tyre shop I go, the guy said where have you been in this? Why, what do you mean, I said? He then pointed at the alloy and said have you seen this. I said seen what, there was nothing there!
To my shock he then picked up a scraper thingy and started chipping off what looked like part of my alloy, but which turned out to be approx 5mm of polished clay welded to the inner side of the alloy around the complete circumference. Honestly, if you had seen it, you would have been amazed at how much like the alloy it looked. 30 mins with a plastic scraper - car runs great again.
While I was on the rally I couldn't help thinking that if Audi still rallied then I am sure they would be running an RS4 - what an awesome machine that would be.
Can't wait for Ireland next month - fast, slippy tarmac, great!
