My Audi S4 Quattro Avant.

Nothing to add except that looks cracking. Congrats. Bring on the snow.

You've done the opposite of me, I went from a B5 (2.8 A4) to a S60

Looks fantastic!

It's alright I suppose, if you like that sort of thing.

Awesome--------ly brave Chris.

[djdestiny]

Why is he brave? Its no different from buying any other 2nd hand car

Looks awesome dude!

What was your T5 like? I seem to have bitten the Swedish Turbo bug and am looking at Turbo Volvos (insurance dependant).

Thank you very much

It is no secret that the 850 T5 was to date the only car I've regretted selling, I did look at buying another (looked at a few actually) but gave up due to finding shed after shed described as "mint". I loved my old T5


So far the S4 Quattro has stolen my heart in the same way the T5 did.
It's a real pleasure to drive, even on a damp greasy morning like today the grip it finds is staggering and the sound of the Twin turbo V6 on song is spine chilling

You of all people should know, how much did your engine out to replace the turbos cost you ?

You don't get that with just any second hand car, the Internet does over hype the in unreliability of these cars however I've personally seen 5 b5's bite the bullet 2 of which were standard.
There's no denying they're awesome, although there's no denying the "fast Audi tax" is somewhat scary.

Chris will this be coming along to Sunday service ?

Oh please stop, I need to stay away from this thread, I keep looking at them on the classifieds ever since buying the BMW wondering how my life would be different if I had one. Less sideways probably, but with more speed I should think.

Nice car, im suprised how far forward that engine is.

[melvster]

Very nice Chris, always loved the understated look of the B5 S4.

[Rosscow]

That looks lovely!

[CypherP]

Superb purchase Chris. These things really are a cracking drive and still practical.

I've been looking at a couple of B7 variants over the last few weeks, in preparation to swap out the trusty 3 series.

Gorgeous yellow B6 in the classifieds at the moment, within my budget...

Like it bud, identical to my mates I was trying to flog you but his is saloon/remapped.

Cheers Graham, tbh the Avant had more appeal
I wanted a estate even when I was looking at Diesels.



Thank you for the great comments everyone, I'm off out for my Birthday dinner now.

Anyway I lost the will to live looking at another diesel so bought a B5 S4 Quattro Avant instead

Good man!

Life's too short for diesel.
