Misano is an epic colour on the B8 shape, even more so with optics.
Totally agree, Misano is the nuts and will be rare compared to the very common Sepang.......I've only seen one other RS4 since getting mine and yes, it was Sepang (with black optics). In the Reading area....anyone on here?

OP - good choice.
I don't know who the owner of the Sepang is, but I do know that they collect their kids from school in it. My daughter (total petrol head :thumbs: ) told me the other week that one of her school friends parents had an RS4 also. Doubt there can be many more in Reading? Although I have parked up alongside a Daytona Grey one in the Oracle before...

Superb snooping Al! My word how tight those spaces are! Great plan to park on their drivers side - one would hope they'd not open their door into a fellow RS4.

I hate that carpark. Although there is one space on each floor which is larger than all others & isn't a disabled space. I normally seek these out but I had my 4yr old in the car & he was desperate for a pee!!!

Finally got around to collecting my T129-Works at the weekend. Can't wait to get some decent trails in over the summer. :thumbs:

Haha!! Well I went to a day out on Greenham Common last summer & rode a number of bikes, Orange, Whyte & Spesh.... The whyte just felt amazing over the others. A completely different ride IMO. Cracking bit of kit. I just need to get fit again now.

205 went in for mot today and has been kept in for a few bits, hence I will need to pick it up on my way home from work one day later this week when its ready. Just gave my Bianchi a once over and pumped up the tyres, it was cleaned before going away for the winter, I'll be taking clean small flat bar hybrid racer to stick in the boot rather than my fiiiiiilthy dirty Specialized XL winter hack

Oracle carpark was the culprit for my kerbed wheel whilst in Dynamic mode.

Look out for a Sepang blue/chrome pack with 5 digit numberplate...will probably be me :)

I park in the station most days but when shopping/raining it's quite a walk.

Looks like I might be deleting ceramics as apparently they have a massive lead time and could delay my car by quite a long Blimmin time :(
