Yup, nice colour, if you wanna be noticed.

He talks bollox though, because you can't order a new RS4 anymore!  :smug:

Talking of colours, howzabout this:  :shocked:

T'is an awesome car and not a thing I would change about it. Sadly out of my range at the moment, but in a few years time it will be an option.

Never know I may grow up and need the extra doors

PMSL - I actually kept the "sport" button pressed all the while, and the racket it makes on full bore, especially through all the tunnels!  I just had to keep winding the windows (double glazed on the sides!) down, slow down, and then floor it . . . .   :evil:  :evil:

I love the RS4 - but the price of the composite disks is  amazing :shocked: And the sound that the engine makes........mmmmmm :drool:

Talking of road trips in a S4 -the photos in the link are quite funny - if you like Nagaro blue (appologies to folks how saw it the last time I posted the link)

Yebut, they last 5 times as long as conventional discs.  And standard discs and pads on an RS4 will be around £1000 for the parts, and some people have reported wearing them out after 4½-5k miles!  So it is 6 of one, or half a dozen of the other, in terms of price - but that excludes the drool factor of the ceramics, and also the mind-blowing performance advantage too!  :smug:

Yup, it even scares Germans!  :shocked:

Vortex is down at the mo, but if that was where two kids taped up a black B5 S4 and drove from one side of the US to the other, yes, very funnuy and interesting.

Apparently, it is quite common for them to tape the front ends of their motors, probably a cheaper version of the "car bra" principle.

What, the garish paint job, or covering it in masking tape?

I like it...it's rather subtle isn't it :rolleyes:

The question is ....If someone gave it to you for free, but you had to keep the colour, would you have it?

Too right I'd keep it!  RS4s are more than just the colour of the paint.  :wink:  I'd have to swap those "weedy" anchors though!  :evil:

Did not have the camera. It was painted gray, and just rolling merrily outside my house. I've seen several Lambos in the city (white one with dark gray wheels looked zuper). I've seen ferraris. There are innumerable Porsches of any type everywhere. RS4s are common. S3's are even more common. I notice GTIs now, and what's funny, my girl notices them better then I.  :cool: Seen only a few Ed30s, though. One white, just like mine. One white with pescaras. One gray, one black. The black was driven by some old, ugly lady.  :shocked:
