    took delivery yesterday, finally!

    It was even better than I hav thought. The Mugelloblau colour is fantastic in person. Too bad the roads are wet and it is raining all the time. It hasn't been clean since it left the dealer. More pics will follow. It would have been nice to have a good camera, and a tripod. As you see from the pics, the will is there but not the skills or camera equipment. The slowest shutterspeed my camera accepts is 1 sek... aaaaaaanyway, I have only done about 130km's in it, and it is great. The S-line summer tires came on 21'' S8 wheels and looked bloody insane. (pics are on my cellphone) It's not easy to write something you not already know abouty it.... the "Audi Side Assist" blindzone warning is great!, and the radar guided cruise control works like a charm. Is uses under a litre of diesel pr 100km, and it pulls those 500Nm out just as easy at any revs. The middle accelleration 30-50km/h, 60-80km/h and 90-120km/h is just incredible, constand, unstoppable and dead even. I'll try to take some video. Now, I'm gonna go outside and drive some in the woods to see how good it handles wet mud and deep sand.

    Looks nice. The wheels very similar to Porsche Cayenne. Hope for lots of continued enjoyment.
