You have to add B&O to that list, in fairness most do have it.

Ok, so the sycamore tree where I park has gone insane and within 1 week you can see the results of the effect on my car!

So glad I got her all spruced up today. Had to park down a bit but it's not my space Hopefully I can park there til summer is over haha. Loving this exhaust mod more and more every day.

Nice setup, is that the man cave?

It's the front room cave haha. It's the whole wall. Channel 4 app (as it always was) is dreadful on the PS4 so had to hdmi it across from the mac live. Quality not as good but needs must. Slightly boring race considering the weather haha. But great to see Ferrari back up there!

Have any of you recent owners experienced the issues being discussed in the below thread? I'm right at the verge of placing an order for a new S4 Avant, but the thread below is putting me off somewhat. Wouldnt want to shell out for a 50k car and then be disappointed with how it picks up from a standing/rolling start at junctions, roundabouts etc. Already have that joy with my current company car which is a 2015 plate Merc A180d.

We've all talked about this. I've had one incident where something slipped early in the life of it and not since. My opinion is that, it depends on what gearbox mode you stick it in. At junctions and roundabouts, if I need to get out fast or just have fun, slip it back into sport. Simple

Only issue it that knowing their prices the exhaust and tube would likely be like €6,000 or something mental!

Sounds good though.

Nice one bro. At first, I was gonna go lunar silver interior but that magma (especially with carbon) compliments perfectly.

Yes I saw an S5 in my local dealers with magma and carbon and swayed me.

Morning homies.

Just had rear left tyre changed due to slow puncture. Just got a cheapie as I'm changing to all weathers/winters next month.

I asked the lads what my wheel tolerances were for tyre size as I really want the Michelin Cross-climates and I'm struggling to find them for the S4.

I've seen some 19" sizes for say...an SUV or alike but these 245s are weird.

Anybody know just how much wider, lower profile etc you can go with these V spoke 19s?

Funny, one arrived 10 mins ago. No fancy S4 graphics - just generic one. 3 yrs.. AA.

Cracking drive today in Washburn Valley. Such a good set of roads. Nokian winters doing a fantastic job. Bags of grip.

Oh yeah, I was the naive one that spent £300 on a bit of red paint! Hahaha

Doesn't work well with many colours but Daytona needs a bit of flare so I think it's well spent mate. Good call

So. Coming up to first service. Going to hold off until after the mad season.

But Audi have cheekily put the first oil change a few hundred miles before the major service. Tut. It'll be grand doing both at same time yeah? How much leeway you got for after the 19000? And yes I know...should be on the dot but this is real life. Not paying £450 service at Christmas when it could wait two weeks haha.
