Looking forward to your pics. It'll be the first one with a similar external spec to my order.
I've not seen Dayotna with black optics and roof rails.
Roll on October when mine is due! :-(

Yes, get some pics up but also a good write up of your initial thoughts.

Haven't really had much of a chance to get a good blast but I'm loving it.

The best things so far are the brakes, bucket seats and the noise of the engine / exhaust.

Haven't had a chance to push the engine yet and will want to run it in a bit but the first thing you notice compared to the rs6 is the lack of grunt at low revs.

This is because in D it will be in 4th gear at around 20 mph and so without activating kick down you wont get a quick response if you press down on the loud pedal.

However in manual mode it is awesome. I think manual and the S button on will be my mode of choice over the weekend.

Without the S pressed you'd hardly hear the exhaust. The noise from outside is even better :-)

The buckets are just awesome and the brakes would put you through the windscreen!!

The car is so dirty already - nightmare weather to pick it up in.

I'll try and get a few better pics over the weekend.
