flew down to chch today, shook hands, will be coming up by rail next week.

2000, silver, no boot spoiler (yay), 101kms, bose package, esp.
few paint chips on the spoiler, but otherwise very tidy.

certainly notice the extra 70 odd hp than my A4.

i'll have to take photos of them side by side when it arrives.
i reckon my A4 will look meaner ... but pretty hard to tell when it's a little dot in a rearview mirrow.

Good man. Having ESP means its the full facelift which is all good.

Book some suspension work in, and you'll have the perfect ride (other than the RS4 of course !!).

cheers, yeah. it should be here friday.

quite weird how it's so similar to the A4, but at the same time completely different.
the clutch play is a lot shorter, take a while to get used to it i think.

The problem with appartments is your essesntially just buying air, the style and physical appartment will go out of date and you'll just loose money.

Atleast with a house you get the property which SHOULD keep on going up value wise I reckon.

Anyway, nice find on the a4, dont want this to go to "off topic" do we!

It's arrived!

yay.

I was looking through the service history and apparently it's been chipped. 225kw upgrade.
the guy i bought it off thought it was standard.

but on the down side, the display in the instrument cluster is poked. doesn't display out side temp or mileage etc. and when it does show stuff like doors open etc there are a few dead pixels.  not a big issue really, but bit of a sh'itter.
anyone have an idea how much a cluster would cost?

oh, it drives real nice.
