I just bought this for the dog

I hope the hairy bd likes it.

Hope you've got a sick bucket in the back for it!

Can't wait to see a picture of the hairy hound stuck to the rear window when you accelerate

[cayman-black]

Nice , i think the dog would have prefered the RS6 though.

... Or a Range Rover (more space). You clearly bought this for yourself, not the dog!

My dog Reilly loves his A4 Avant.

He's doing good. Two year old Border Collie / Lab cross. Spends most of his time rounding up food.

Looked long and hard at RR Sports, and even the new Discovery Sport - both excellent. In the end I went for this 28k miles 2007 RS4 B7. Future classic for sure, despite the inevitable hair and dog vomit, although I will fill the back with industrial strength boot liners and bumpers covers before he puts a paw anywhere near it.

Phil he is absolutely gorgeous best picture you have ever posted .

Eric that picture made me laugh.

Fantastic cars. Blue ones are faster

Your dog will be sick

I loved my RS6 dog transporter. You need the harness that straps him in the boot to the back of seat

You bought the wrong RS4! From a 'future classic'/investment point of view, anyway.
The original B5 RS4 is the daddy. I had one in Nogaro blue with a couple of minor mods and it was quicker than just about anything on the road. I sold it for 10.5k 18 months ago and the next owner just sold it for £15k with another 8k miles on it.

Top dog though! My dog when I was growing up was a black lab cross border collie - a very clever and handsome chap!

This sort of deviation is not permitted as Aston have a simple solution:

The worst handling car I ever ever bought. Hated it. Lovely Twin Turbo V6 (mine had a Miltech exhaust and AMD map and sounded fabulous) but a truffle hunting over tyred, over stiff, romping, badly mannered pig! Sorry - no rose tints here.

Is the cardboard dog guard a genuine extra from Aston?

Its light weave carbonfibre covered in 'Patagonian Praire' Alcantara and was £776, but they did fit it for free. The carpet protector is a painters dust sheet for £3! Ying/Yang!

OK, he's a leggy lad and too tall for the car really so we too use a German estate solution
