    Hello Jas

    I trust Santa was good to you over the Xmas period !!

    I'm good for the third or fourth weekend in Feb.

    I understand Gazzab knows a few more RS4 owners and I'm sure I can chase up some eager starters.

    How about the Great Ocean Road to Apollo Bay for lunch and then back through Deans Marsh on the way home........... : ..lots of corners and fast straights.Very few roundabouts though ..

    Greetings to the Melbournian RS4s,

    Last Wed 24th Jan, I received a confirmation from my dealer that my RS4 was IN production and should be delivered in 6 weeks....that would be roughly the 7th of March...allowing a few days or a week of "unforeseen" delay. That means I won't be able to make it for the upcoming trip until late March as I initially suggested.

    Gentlemen, I would have loved to join you all but mine is still in the factory!!! . I guess even though my order went in on the 10th Nov and the production only started last week...all these times was just in a queue? Does that sound right to you all? - 18 weeks altogether from order to delivery.

    If all is well, I'm definitely heading down there for the weekend 23rd-25th March so please keep your Sunday 25th free for another "RS4 DRIVE".

    Are you sure about that as i thought you said that your RS4 was arriving in February?

    So does that mean that if you ordered your car right at the end of December you would get it delievered at the same time as your November order if it got scheduled for that build period

    surely that doesnt seem right

    hi RS4some,
    My order paperwork was in on the 10th Nov and it said Jan/Feb delivery and NOW I'm told first-second week of March. I heard average is 14 weeks but mine will take 18 weeks! Someone on the forum said the factory takes about 7-8 days to complete an order, that leaves 4 weeks for the car to get to Sydney and a week for pre-delivery check...arrghh I hate waiting!

    When you signed the MTAA sale sheets from your dealer it should have stated on there when the car was to arrive, if you are getting stuffed around like that i would threaten to pull the sale and then see what happens

    Also get your salesman to check as they are able to see exactly to the date when you car is being built by audi as they have it on their system in the salesroom

    Yep - count me in

    Hi Guys,

    I've got all sorts of functions over the next few weeks. I'm clear for either Saturday 17th or Sunday 18th. Sorry can't do 24th but Sunday 25th is ok.

    Yarra Valley or Great ocean Road ?? I'm easy.

    Hi Guys,

    I am free any weekend in February apart from the 5th/6th, so it looks like the weekend of 17th, how about Sunday the 18th.

    OK lets lock it in for the 25th February, next step is where, Great Ocean Rd vs Yarra Valley.

    Then lunch venue.

    I have a colleague, who has a PB RS4, I will invite him as well.

    Done. My recollection was that Bryan recommended Yarra Valley & knew the area pretty well. I think that may be the way to go. This will give our babies a good run on some winding roads and taht way we won't be too silly about speeding!!
