I shouldn't be left alone with a Mac and a credit card...

Post by JW1000M » Thu Mar 05, 2015 10:15 pm

Well it was all going rather well and I was happily using my 911 as my everyday car - well Mon to Fri and then the Home Counties 4 x 4 was used with the children and I thought well I might as well go and test drive the RS4 - It won't be any good but heyho nothing much on today....

48 hours later the deal was done and just before Xmas I picked up my Phantom Black RS4 - and what a stunning car it is. I am amazed at what this thing does and how it does it - it might be able to carry a dog in the back but by heck there is no way I would want to be that dog!!

So this my hello message - will try and remember to use the search facility before asking stupid questions but if I forget I will expect a proper tirade of FON coming back at me..

Hello NJM,

Jeez that's one hell of a spot - yes you are right it did come from Shrewsbury Audi. It wasn't the one I test drove but I found this one online after the test drive and bought it. That plate has now gone a private plate has gone on it.

Thanks for the FON!

Thanks for the FON Tile Diver!

Yes I am!! It is my first Audi and I it really is stunning. I was fortunate enough to have the choice of a Maserati GranSport, another 911, another Merc AMG or this.

I chose well!!

I had it detailed by Xtreme Detailing (Bucks / Herts) with Gtechnic Crystal Serum Black and it has has transformed the paintwork - well after they spent 15 ours removing the swirls put in by the dealer!

Best way to go with black, I used to get my old b7 done once a year, it always looked mint, nothing else shines like black

You are right RIV - but the effort they have put in certainly makes washing it damn easier!!

They are based in Long Marston, Nr Tring in Herts DSM - really know their stuff and has made a huge difference to the state of the paintwork that the dealer was happy to present to me!

Wouldn't touch any dealers AutoGlym Life Shine (damn good product but put on by incompetent, useless, vile, oxygen thieves (IMHO!!!)
