Be VERY little point in taking it to Audi anyway. I spent my 45.000 miles and three years, educating my local dealer on the RS4. If I was the knowledgable prospective purchaser, then I would have realised that the warranty went out the window when it was Sportec 460'd two years ago. I would much rather see a service booklet stamped from a specialist outfit such as AMD, MTM or Dialynx.

I hope to see Noggy Babe return to the fold. That car belongs here. Hope X711 BCF comes home too. So I can Flame the hell off the new owner :twisted: (Only Joking :D )

It was all right at oulton park, but after at Bruntingthorpe there seemed to be no top end, only managed 2 mph faster than me iirc. Andy and Kev were still sorting the mapping out before Kev went to Hong Kong. When he came back there car wasn't Andy's anymore. kevs code was taking a while as there aren't many rolling roads that can take 4wd Hp that high. The kept having to treck to Gforce.

You are a bit poo with dates as well matey. Bruntingthorpe VMax III was 12 October, and Oulton, where the car was running fine was nearly two months after that poor showing - 2nd December!!!! :!:

Yep your right, but I didn't ask Andy at OP. When I spoke to him prior to NB's departure it still seemed as though it wasn't perfect. But that could just easily have been Andy's very high standards. I just hope the next owner will look after it like he did. You've got to admit it's one high maintance car though!

Just want to let you guys know that one of my boys has bought the car. We know a lot of work has been put into the car and the work under gone has not been unappreciated.

The car is in safe hands and will be looked after. PM if you guys wana know anything.
