Simples!!
Which is fine unless you're on tour almost permanently, like me.
I tried keeping an S2 at home while touring with an A4 2.0 Tdi Quattro, but got really bored of that and realised how seldom I'm at home.
Hence the RS4....

My weekday run around is a 1996 Kona Cindercone mountain bike. Goes alright with two chunky thighs and a bald rear tyre :)

Of course I look forward to driving the mental wagon every time I need to exit the town I live and work in.

I can see me spending thousands of pounds this year and i'm thinking, i've had my fun, enough is enough i'm afraid.................
Victor, you've just said it yourself though, 3 years of virtually non existent spending on the car. 4 new tyres, £800; pads all round £220; brand new discs £1000 front and rear; so in reality £2k.

On a performance car that is nothing or to put in perspective a non-res valved Milltek. :wink:
