Jees Ads, really? Don't go - who's going to be the oracle now? Without you it's just PetrolDave, IainRS and a few other old school enthusiasts. To be honest, I'd just hang around here because, as I found out to my horror, not all forums are the same - I tried seloc.org - that was a mistake!

...and you ad is excellent, you will shift this in no time - I'm going to put it on my fb page if that's OK, it's a great car!
Replaced with a proper stainless jubilee clip and it's now going nowhere (or if it does, it's taking the exhaust with it)
Honesty goes a long way!

Stick around Ads! Your posts are always much appreciated and well worth reading. You've also scared me a little - how old are your lads to have to give up the RS4? I bought it as my family car!

They are 7, 5.5, 3.5, 2.5 ;)
Being all boys the older ones are starting to get broader so room is tight. Being a saloon it's a bit compromise on space for associated crap (older kids seem to have less stuff than younger ones but it's all bigger!)

Yep, I had to remove it after a guy I showed it to flamed me - he was an idiot though and had test driven 8 of them I later found out! I'll re-list in the spring - maybe ads needs another Lotus, for the weekend, you know ;)

Glad to hear you're sticking around. And you too Arthur :)

Can't wait to hear about what you get next. Would a build your own Caterham be a bit too pedestrian for you? And as for a V8 big enough for 2+4: E63 plus bigger kid-seat-frame-thingy?? Ugly big thing but still...

Sorry to see you are selling. Having boys myself I know exactly how they grow. That must have been a tough call.

Thoroughly enjoyed your sage advice and have give me many pointers in many areas through your posts.

Hang around please!

Decided can't be done with one car - the rs4 has done a more than superb job and I don't think any other car could have been better at the job asked.
So gone for generic box people carrier for the full times and dedicated 2 seater for 'me time'.
Box arrives first and still waiting for fun car so going to have to put up with swimbo's car.
