Thanks, its been around 10 years since I had a car I cared about so I need to refine my washing technique again.

Scary thought actually thinking I sold my Monaro around 10 years ago!

Remember you posting the Monaro crazy that's 10 years ago!

Is there no car wash local to use the pressure wash?

Or take a look at the battery power washers. Get a large bucket/container and you can feed the washer from that.
 
Coming up to 3 years ownership and still very happy with the car. Occasionally I consider what I’d replace this with but decide that the cost to get something that feels a lot better than this is not worth it. 0-60 in 5.8s is also plenty on today’s roads.

Wife still wants to buy the latest MX5 in the next 12-18 months after she has opened her hair salon. Makes sense since she is a hairdresser.

Finger over the lens :mad: :p


Is that the 2L 252ps petrol? :)

Looking at that engine and working out if the upgrade to the S4 is worth it.

Yea the 252ps TFSI Quattro, it’s very capable and plenty quick. The S4 has a V6 so I’d go for that if budget gets you a nice one. My A4 is really well specced being an Audi press car.

Budget would allow but it’s a fair difference in cost - just need to work out if it’s worth it.

I’m addition, the avant is fairly rare in S4 format, pushing the price further - I would much prefer the avant given how practical estates are.

Like you, I can see it being one of those cars that’s enough for everything, making you question if you ever need any more.

Absolutely. When I’m out with my family I drive quite sedately so extra power would make no difference. Occasionally I’ll use the full power but it’s not often enough that I crave for more, legal speeds disappear quick enough.

I assume you’ll be test driving both?

Yeah I will if I can find both for an extended test drive - that’s my biggest issue.

I’d like to do the commute I have to work and back to see whether the extra power would make much of a difference, and to compare a 3 series to the A4 on the journey from a driving dynamics perspective.

In addition, I’d like to take it up to Petersfield from where I am in Chichester to test it on some of the backroads.

However it can be tricky finding a car to borrow for more than 20 mins :( Hence I’ve not bothered looking yet.

If it matters, the S4 will likely be priced higher but depreciate slower. Especially if you're putting few miles on it. I went from a 250ps Jaguar XE thinking it was my end game for power and comfort but I'm so glad I have the 400hp E43 now. Famous last words but there's no way I'll need more than 400...250 was fun but just left you wanting a tad more.

I do love the attempt at showing a front number plate on the Orange Lambo :D Doubt (legally) there's much difference between that and not having one at all haha

I'd be interested to know tbh.

The fine is the same for missing/obscured/mis-sized/otherwise illegal though. But I guess they could argue it isn't obscured... Maybe...

I got to spend a few hours driving my dads E89 30i - the 6 cylinder NA version. “Only” 250 HP but man it was rapid.

More than anything though, the sound of the engine was stunning. Much nicer drive than his diesel daily.
