Well, after a long week last week, and lots of harrasing my dealer, finally took delivery of the S4 (1 week after ordering....it was their showroom car so technically a used car, with 200 miles on it, but as a bonus I got a good discount and it qualifies for 2 years free servicing woohoo)

Spec/Extras:

Brilliant Red, S-Tronic, sports diff, Silk Nappa leather, DVD nav incl MMI, 19" 7 arm double spoke wheels, S Sports seats, elec seats with memory, voice control, storage package, DAB radio, damping control, dynamic steering, lane assist, radar cruise/braking, Bose sound, multi CD/radio, parking system incl reversing camera.

Im sure there is stuff I havent remembered.

Photography certainly isnt my forte, but here goes...





















(no idea why Photobucket keeps turning some of the photos on their side, but hey ho)

That is serioulsy nice. Do you think it will need a decent exhaust? A lot of the reviews are saying its too quiet.

Lovely car, very similar to the showroom car that Audi Swindon had in.

It is a beauty, and really dig the rear lights.

But can you rev that box at a stand still to let some of the v6 growl be heard by the innocent by standers...? It is the holligan in me, but after 2 consecutive diesels I am looking forward to letting the engine howl... assuming I have the right gear box!

Thank you chaps.

Today I attended a photo shoot with 2 of PH's snappers (cheers lads thumbup) so will have some photos to show the car off in all it's glory smile

But as they say, with something sweet, you have to swallow something bitter? Returning from the shoot I got rear ended by a granny in her Fiesta mad I was staionary in traffic and she hit me at what must have been approaching 40mph yikes. Considering that, these Audi's really do stand up well in such moments.

So, my car is off to intensive care, while her's is off to the mortuary.

Fab picture. Look forward to seeing the others. Will try to get in touch with your photographer when mine arrives as really does do the car justice.

Sincere commiserations on the bad fortune. Hope they have your s4 back in a jiffy.

Would you believe they paid £20k for it?

Great to meet you Fubar, such a bummer the day ended the way it did- hope your logistics improved after I'd left you. Check out DSC_7918 on the disk and give me the nod if you're happy me to post it smile

Other than that, here's a couple from me:





Hmmm, looking at them saturation and clarity seem to have been affected by the watermarking procedure, only matters on these web versions tho.
