How many S4s in the UK?

Post by DJG » Mon Mar 31, 2003 7:37 pm

I really don't see many other S4s around.

Around were I live I almost see more RS4s.

Surely there must be considerably more S4s around.

That many ?

I dunno, seems a lot but then they are stealthy, you can walk past one and not know it apparently [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'd say 1000 of each.

There were 2 parked at Joshie's house yesterday. And I saw a black one on the way home.

That amused me as for all of my journey the way on the M1 and most of the M25, this black S4 drove only in the right hand lane, about 10 feet from the car in front.

Whereas I was doing that horrible unforgivable action of actually moving to the left when there was no car there! [img]images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]
Worse I even moved into the left hand lane!

Yes I know that we're only supposed to use the left hand lane for a very short time when joining or leaving the motorway (at the very last instant of course), but I'm just selfish and sometimes like to cruise in the left lane sometimes. [img]images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

However by the time the black S4 left the motorway, I was actually slightly ahead of it. Just goes to show...

That's right - good to meet you at long last Dave - hope all went well in the afternoon [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]:

Your S4 Avant is one of the finest examples I have seen and so well speced too - those Recaros really make me want a pair [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Thanks.

Unfortunately the interview was a waste of time. [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

But I enjoyed the skiing - that Xscape slope is excellent. Shame I don't live in MK! Although it did cost £17 for an hour!

Cheers,
Dave

P.S. I also saw a speed trap nearby. The guy with the camera was disguised as a workman. Better be careful out there...

Was the trap in a built up area 30MPH or on the dual carriageway? First I've seen round here.

[img]images/graemlins/062802beat_prv.gif[/img] I wish I had an answer for you David. Perhaps Audi Customer services or your local dealer coud shed some light. Or maybe one of the Car magazines such as Whay Car or Evo.
