      And good sir - I think you will find these two facts are inextricably linked... Especially when you had the madness of Audi UK having 'certified upgrades' on brand new cars from certain tuners in Banbury supplying the MK marketplace with hotrodded TweeT's and S3s'. And they upheld the warranty claims when things went wrong.


      Getting back on topic - I am SOOOOOOH happy that Audi have done this. I have long prattled on about my perfect Audi being one with a multivalve V8 engine, quattro drivetrain in a well sorted chassis.

      The combination of that all alloy 4.2L FSI NON-TURBO engine delivering ~100bhp per liter is about right. Then couple that to a transmission which deliver roughly 100bhp to each wheel with zip nay any turbo lag whatsoever and you have a potential monster.

      The sound was tremendous. Just delicious. This is the first time I can say I have ever really coveted an RS4.... Mmmmmmmmmm

              imagine what his time would have been if he had actually managed to take the racing line on some of the corners.

                  Bloody amazing time considering he ragged it the whole way round. Looks like he still has his getaway driving skills
