hows your boring golf.  you have no character  :laugh:

No character but also I don't have a low rent interior  :laugh:

Depends what your comparing it to  :wink:

I read this as well and did chuckle, i cant see how its faster than an RS4, never mind a tuned EVO. Even abuser wasnt hugely quicker than the RS4 at stage 2+ were you mate?


Stage one with Milly at the time mate. Stage 2+ would of made a mess of the RS4..  :wink:

Was the RS4 in question a new Model i.e a B7 4.2 V8 or was it a B5 2.7 Bi-Turbo?

B7 4.2 V8 mate.. Nice car, but not all that quick TBH. I've driven 2 now and really don't like the power delivery and thought it felt quite slow to be fair (well slow for 414bhp obviously). Was left very underwhelmed..  :confused:
