Hi Everyone

So I picked up my new (2014) RS4 this morning.......OH MY GOD!!! What a machine!! Town, twisty roads or long open roads this thing is amazing! Gave it to a mate of mine who used to race and was a terrified passenger but safe in the knowledge that I am well within the car's capabilities. That flappy paddle gear shift, up or down, is incredible. I've been trawling the forum for titbits and opinions while I've been waiting to pick it up and all your knowledge and advice has been appreciated (given you're reading this).

The silver wing mirrors didn't appeal to me at first but I'm getting used to them and the V Spoke alloys in my opinion are gorgeous. Loving the blue with black interior, carbon fibre finish. The photos are from my phone so apologies if they don't quite do the car justice. Might need to get some better angles as well......The SD card for music is a great idea. I don't think I have the Connect so a little disappointed with that given my love of gadgets.

Would be great to see some of your own car photos here, any upgrades, advice, etc.

Ah, man! Smiling, sighing grinning idiot here! :jump: :jump_clap: :kissmyrings: :bowdown:

Great Looking Car!!!

As for Connect; don't let that bother you too much - it's fine if you have it; but very limited compared to the new generation of connect cars i.e. A3 etc.

Traffic is probably the best bit; but I end up running Waze on my smartphone anyway - which I find has the best intelligence and traffic re-routing.

Would love a picture of the interior; black with blue stitching sounds lovely!

Enjoy; it's a car that for now will just keep giving

I think Schoolfit means blue exterior paint with a black interior rather than blue stitching!!!!

Ah, I may have been vague on the colour thing. I meant I love the blue body colour with black leather interior! Doh! I'm actually not too bothered about the connect now as smartphone integration and SD card are excellent, so you're quite right.

I have found the TomTom app very good for speed cameras. Not sure about mobile ones but if you spot one you can press a button on the App that will share the location with other App users!

Been away for two weeks and have spent the afternoon blasting around the roads enjoying the music of that V8. The silver wing mirrors have grown on me. I have a mate who's business partner does wraps and can custom wrap stuff so that was also an option as well. Would be interesting to see what design concepts could be thought up............
