Very nice! But why is it standing still? :confused:

Good you got the dark interior, the white looks a little bit fragile.

PS. Why does your wife look so angry ;)

Could the answer to the question about your wife be, that she got the worst kind of competition ;)

So how was the first drive? :D

Regards /Niklas

So which one came up on top? Can't believe a Passat W8 is put into this specific mix, or the IS300 wagon as well.

Dave that looks a big car m8:D I bet the dealers glad you took it off the forecourt, he can get 4-5 motors in its place:p
No joking aside thats a nice looker, though i do agree there, the missus looks a bit miffed.
Cheers

But the car cost like 4-5 motors as well so it kind of evens out :)

Dave, do you have this type of interior?

Dave
October 29th, 2002, 15:51
No mate.. The interior is similar but I have black alcantara...I don't have the sunroof option either :D. I never see the point with climate :D

I'm away from home at the moment .. back at weekend.. will post some pic of the interior then

Cheers
Dave

In short...remember these are comments from race drivers after a track day:

It is heavy but feels light and handles nice in bends.
The suspension is soft but it moves sideways easily.
The brakes are a little weak considering the performance.
The feeling is a top and is very quick out from the curves.
Understeer if you're going to fast but once you get it going sideways just step on it to the exit of the curve!
Much quicker than all the other cars in the test.
Needs aggressive driving to come to it's right. (read that Dave?)
With slicks this will be a real racer...

The MB C32 AMG was quite popular too but noone mentioned the 540i Touring.

:D :D :D

I ordered the solar sunroof on mine. I thought it would be nice to have the aircon running when I was away from the car. I only later found out it doesn't actually run the aircon, it just runs the fans to blow the air around a bit!

Rob,

what are you doing with that beast of an RS4 you've got ??..

You'll find that the RS6 sounds very similar.. maybe just not as loud as your RS4.. although exhausts are being worked on by MTM :D
Cheers

Hi Dave!

Your car looks great btw! Not sure what I'm going to do with my cars since I am banned for another 11.5 months :(

I think I'll wait and see what the RS4 turns out like when it comes back from APR before I decide whether to keep it or not. I'm certainly missing it, especially the noise.

Banned??????... bloody hell!!!!.. when did that happen?

Must have missed that... shit.. what a bummer:(
Sorry to hear that mate.. hope you've got someone to drive you round

Cheers

Yes, 'fraid so. Was in court a couple of weeks ago. It's not been as bad as I imagined really, plus think of all the petrol money I'll save!

Have a look in S-club for the full low-down.
