Bit tight with the foam! I can't see mine when it gets snowed, it had two rounds yesterday, she was minging.

Red with optics is nice. But it's marmite and I'm not sure it'll age well.

It's actually the snow foam dispenser, it's a karcher one that plugs into my pressure washer lance but is not adjustable, I keep meaning to go into polished bliss to get a proper one.

On another note that's the order placed and spec confirmed, I am a very happy camper and now the wait begins. But I have already been looking at some bits and bobs for it and have my eyes on a set of MTM floor mats and boot mat and maybe a pair of drop in MTM air filters :bigblink:

Saw a 13 plate RS6 in red. It looked awesome. I would seriously consider it if I were to get a B8.

Yeah red was never on the cards till I seen it in the flesh, plus sepang seems to be the colour of choice up here in Aberdeen , the rs6 in aberdeens showroom is misano and looks simply stunning, mrs said yes in two to three years time so time which shocked me :jump:

Funnily enough (and this isn't tongue in cheek in mind of my RivBlue) I've always maintained that red will draw too much attention with the Politzi.

I had an RS6 on test a few weeks ago; in red/black optics and it looked the biz'....Sod the fuzz I def' would.

Also, wish they did the H.U.D in the B8RS that was super cool.

Yeah the car certainly was drawing a lot of attention in the showroom, it looks like a big car but once your inside you quickly loose that feeling..... Love the diamond quilted leather

HYFR, is that your red RS4 in Christchurch? I saw it at Archibalds when browsing and it really sold me on the B8. I ended up with Ibis white as the red was gone when I went back to buy.
