It kinda is, it's still straight pipe but I had to get some slight bends put in around the silencers so I can switch it to full noise and 'silenced' but the bends have taken the edge off.
No matter where you go, there you are.

Bam,

You've changed :shock:

I agree with your sentiment.

We all would have liked a world beater but we have been given world class.

Both fine in my book.

I am getting old....

Always makes me laugh when how well it drifts forms a relevant chunk of the cars evaluation,who on earth parts with 60k and then is prepared to drift it on public roads? No one its just not relevant,ive cut my teeth in saph cozzies etc and drifting is fun but in an everyday road car i see it as a hinderance and a worry if its in the hands of less experienced.I would like to wager you would be lucky if 1 out 10 buyers of a new m3 could induce and control a slide.

We averaged 55 through the tunnel, oh how I miss that full fat 'zoorst.
Well that was a perfect run through Hindhead at approx 745 ish. Passed a load of vans, big gap to a Discovery which I caught and waited behind going under the specs cameras as my 'marker', slowed and entered the tunnel at about 40 in second, clear road, windows down obv, caught and followed the Discovery out the end, job done!

Had the S4 in for a service at crewe audi at the weekend and am pretty sure the RS4 from this vid is out on the forecourt for £52k.

The registration on Harris' video ends in LXJ, the one in the dealer ends in LXB. Very close though.

Sept registration and the combination of letters still suggests press / demo / Audi UK car.
