400 miles in 4 weeks :shocked: you wanna get out and drive it more dude lol
You're right but it's not going to clean it self.
Joking apart it is very frustrating having to drive around all day in my Transit when the GTI is sitting at home. I could always get a ladder rack fitted I suppose but then where do I put the 650 litre water tank😀
I could get a trailer.........

Are you a self employed fireman by any chance?  :grin:

Are you a window cleaner? I know two window cleaners, one has a B6 RS4 and the other has a BMW 335d and they both have VW Transporters that I have a liking to.
I am indeed, although it says 'glass maintenance engineer' on my passport :wink:
I think the two guys you know are considerably more successful than me by the sound of it :sad:

They must do a lot of cleaning although the amount I have been charged by them I'm not so sure they need to do so many.

Too much car for me, I'll stick with the Golf.
Whatever your window cleaner is charging, it's better than attempting to do them yourself in my experience.

Nice little write up.  Good to hear you are enjoying the car, and the cleaning of the car.  :grin:

The red footwells are a great little mod, and look much less 'brothel' like in the flesh.  Blue in mine of course.  Plus get yourself the decent colour edged Premie Super Lux mats from http://www.carmats2u.co.uk//vw-golf-car-mats-mk7-2013-onwards-2486-p.asp. So much better quality than the standard mats.  Much nicer underfoot and the added heal pad is great.  I went for the two tone colour edging on mine (blue for an R) and added a logo which finishes them off nicely.

These things are small details but just lift the interior which can be a bit 'grey' otherwise.

We use a window cleaner and he does a brilliant job but he drives like a maniac!

Audi made B5, B7 & B8 variants of the RS4, never a B6.

They did make a B6 S4 with the less powerful 4.2V8.

It wouldn't surprise me if there were B6 RS4 in Solihull, but they won't have been built by Audi! ;)

Stupid me getting my B numbers mixed up. Yes I meant B7 and I wouldn't mind but I had a B6 S4 years ago.

Do you know Solihull? It sounds like you do. I used to live in a place called Dickens Heath or as I call it Dickheads Heath.

When you say you added a logo was this the genuine R logo or just a letter R as I can't see anywhere to upload one. I've been looking for some mats with the genuine GTi logo with the exact font but all I can find are horrible cheap copies, or American ones, or Mk6 ones.

B7 was almost a 6 1/2 or facelift 6 at the end of the day.

Sorry I don't know Sollihul at all, I've never been there. I try not to go north of Highgate if I can help it. :)
