Very very nice....have you get the ceramic brakes on the RS4...and aswell you live in london with so many cars...must be loaded  :laugh:

Thanks Manu, it doesn't have the ceramics although for track work that would be nice.  They are quite a rarely specced option as you can imagine at around £4k!!  For regular road use, the standard brakes are more than adequate.  I believe TT has the ceramics on his RS4.

Not loaded though compared to some people near where I live.  My weakness is resisting the temptation of buying a car I like  :embarassed:.

I like the RS4 and M400. Very nice.  :cool:

Mind you neither are as fast as my Golf  :tongue: :tongue:

Thanks TagnuT.  Very nice Ed30 you have there  :cool:.  I think you're right, in central London, your Ed30 would paste the M400 which crashes and jumps over the potholes hopelessly.  The golf really is an all-round weapon.

Aww thanks (If you didn't know I was only joking.......) Shame that you have these great sports cars in central London..... Here in the wilds of Yorkshire and the Peak District we can let them run free   :wink:

I'm still here thanks  :rolleyes:  Just been very busy.  My wife has got me to sort the mess I created in the house while she was away studying Arabic in Jordan for 5 months.  I have been coming in quickly and reading the comments though.  I just can't keep up with the likes if Hurdy though!  I think he averages 600 posts a day or something like that - I reckon he's got a whole cohort of people working for him, posting night and day  :grin: :grin: :grin:

Ooooooooops   :embarassed:   I had left my account logged in last night and my wife left the message to embaress me!  I was going to edit it but forgot all about it.  I'm not leaving the forum but I find myself having less and less time to post because I have been so busy over the past month.  I am probably going to Duabi for a job but have already looked at Mk5 GTI's over there - £13000 for a FULLY LOADED 8 month old example with 1700 miles on the clock.  I've heard brand new R32's cost £16000!!!  :shocked:  Its VW heaven over there.  My Ed30 is going into storage after a service this week.  I'm still wondering whether to get a Mk5 over there or be sensible and buy a 2001 Mk4 V6 4-Motion for £3000  :tongue:. I'll probably get a Mk4 first and then upgrade to a Mk5 after 2-3 months when I know I'll be staying for a while.
