Yep great prices, but it's for the wife, and I prefer my M3 to an RS4

Have you actually driven an RS4 in anger - wet or dry?  The driving dynamics of the RS4 really are a step above any M3.  The only time an M3 could better an RS4 is on a track - and only if it is bone dry.  :wink:

Thanks, Pistonheads premium advert for £7, went in 24 hours.  Put it on as a free ad, but was page 5, so upgraded to premium and was at top of list.
Had 2 e mail offers subject to seeing the car, several phone calls, plus the eventual buyer, who came over next morning to view.
Really pleased with the interest it got from the ad.
Just tried to be realistic with price against other sellers, and priced it to sell.

Well Guys and Girls, VDubb ownership ends tomorrow, when my (well the wifes) GTI will have a proud new owner, spent 2 hours clearing the snow off it today ready for the handover ceremony.

I have enjoyed the last 2 1/2 years bantering and debating away on here, I think I'll stick around as an 'outsider', as it's an enjoyable read on here, and may stick my oar in, if I think I can add value.

Drive safe all    :cool:

If you had saved up the equivalent of £20,000 to buy a GTI in Zimbabwe in Feb last year, but had held off ordering until now you would have the equivalent of 1p left in the bank.  Enough for a fruit salad or black jack.
