Nuvolari looks naughty.

Does that mean the have cross-bred the Nuvolari project into a TT facelift type of thingy and given us the shooting break concept as recompence?

Oh yes there will.......

My Dealer Principal has just come back from Tenerife, where he was shown the finished articles of:

RS4 Avant
RS4 Cabriolet
Audi TT -- and he says it looks better than current picture floating around
Audi S3
Audi Allroad

He also got to drive the Q7(3.0 & 4.2) and the S8

Apparently they had to spot weld the manhole covers down on the route for the S8 -- the speeds they were doing were flipping the covers!!!

Had e-mail from my local dealer, not about this but he listed new models and when they had been told to expect them - RS4 Cab end July -- so that's probably towards the end of the year !
