What can I say, amazing scenery, even more amazing roads, .......

all we get here is nothing but wall to wall speed cameras and radar equipped police cars and ridiculously low speed limits.

you can be surrounded by nothing but empty country and you can't go over 100km/h !

Stunning. Absolutely stunning. Do you have it in a higher resolution for me to use as a wallpaper please?
 





Love those Wheels!!! Are they after-market or an option in Switzerland?

Pics are stunning!  As another poster are they available in high res, as they'd make awesome wallpapers.

Great pics. What a drive that must be on the roads, so picturesque.

The Audi rep wheels look great on the blue car and I kind of like the red lip on the black car  :embarassed:

The 296 hp result from the ABT Power Upgrade. ABT claims 260 hp, but the result on the rolling road was 296 hp. It's insane how this thing goes. The driver of the R was very upset about the R's performace, he's getting an ABT upgrade this week, the result will be around 330 hp.
There will be another trip like this next year, maybe some of you guys will join us? :cool:

I have ABT as well but did not measure,  it does feel quicker than the JD upgrade (my friend has)...both on paper 260 BHP...did your friend do the DOB only ????
I guess he measured it on the rolling bank...you make me suddenly very curiuos to measure my performance... :I overtook once an Scirocco "R" like he wasn't even there......(but you always wonder if your competitor gives it all)   cool:

^^^^^^^
Half the time when some muppet in a gti or similar comes tearing up behind me, I'll pull over and let him go. I'm not interested. Nothing to prove.

Now I'll have a go at a porsche just to see if there's a difference, but he probably thinks I'm the muppet!!!
