Well just got an update via text message from the distributor here in New Zealand and my RS4 is being built in Germany in the last week of January and the boat is expected to dock here in Auckland in the first week of April.

That means 12 weeks and counting: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:

Klint - Getting the Daytona Gray with Brushed Aluminium interior, Bose sound system and electric sunroof. It comes standard here with the cool steering wheel and Recaro seats etc so those are not options. :)

When it gets here am getting windows tinted, carphone kit installed and also the latest Beltronics radar detector and a set of blinders.

Ned,

Bet you can't wait.

Sounds great, seems like your going for a proper Q-Car appeal with Daytona Grey. :D

Ned, is the RRP only $160K in NZ?, I think Audi Australia were saying ~ $165K Australia, so cheaper in NZ!!!

Great news Ned, you will be getting excited, by the way how much is the premium unleaded in NZ these days?

Look forward to your review on the beast.

Ned will also be interested in how the Daytona looks, I was keen on that colour but changed to Phantom Black.

Will shoot some on Saturday as by then the windows will be tinted, will have the radar detectors and blinders installed and the phone kit with aerial etc on it, so should look good.
