New to the S4 Avant, my old 2004 A4 1.9tdi sold to it's new owner yesterday so first time out on a frosty morning in the S4. Very disappointed to discover the door mirrors aren't heated. Was standard on the old 1.9tdi sport but remained frosted up on the new car. Cheapskates Audi, why aren't my...

Any other recommendations to save me wading through my own list of insurers ?
There is a fashion in Japan to print English writing on loads of stuff. It almost doesn't matter what it says, as long as it's English. (I guess we have a similar thing here with Chinese character tattoos!).
I saw this slogan on the side of a Japanese coach and wondered whether the driver was...

My first bike at 16 was an NSU Quickly moped which cost me £10 in 1974.

Audi and I go back a long way!!
