Mate, it needs a blower, you can't even pull more than a half car-length on that kid on the trike.

Despite a run of S4s and S5s this is actually your first V8?!

The V6 is no match for the outgoing V8 noise wise.

Lovely car and specification, it just needs the flat bottomed steering wheel as the current item looks too American in my humble opinion.

Enjoy it :thumbs:

Nice spec. How's the switchable miltek on its quieter setting ? Having been considering one for my B8 RS4
Suitable for daily shopping trips/school runs ?

Mmmm.....I used to have a garage door opener on my 1st vRS about 10 years ago. Funny thing was I didn't have a garage and it had a very strange & useful 'secondary' function :wink:
Lots of rubbish cars slowly progressing to a nice shiny S4
