I went on a drive around Manhattan and Brooklyn today with I think 12 RS4 in total.
Started out in front of the American Museum of Natural History on 200 Central Park West.
We had like 11 cars parked end to end in a spot that said no parking Saturday NYC police and all of a sudden 2 cop vans, 2 motorcycle cops and some other cop cars pull up and it looked like the motorcycle cops were starting to write tickets. One guy went and talked with the lead cop and got friendly with him and he thought it was pretty neat. He ended up having one of the motorcycle cops stop traffic on the street to let us do a u turn and go right into central park instead of having to go around the block.
Parked on the sidewalk, RS4 all the way back to the bus.

An older model RS4 decided to join in.

Parking signs in NYC are mere suggestions, we were parked here for 30 minutes with no trouble at Washington Square park.

Lost the main group going through Greenwich Village so went over the Brooklyn Bridge with no RS4 in front.
