I was at this today with my son, great day & quite a few pics! Got to look at quite a few ED30 models as I plan my purcsse early next year, however the RS4 boys did lead me astray as the avant could easily take the wife's wheelchair - though that might be stretching the requirement a bit far :grin:. Ended taking my 9 year old on the track fir the kids laps. Fantastic timeas we'd never done anything like that before - I did feel slightly red faced as I was the only non- audi/VW make of car on the track. I did however get the best view of the audi sport in action! :notworthy:

Regards, Kevin.

I did not Robin though purely my choice.  My wife suffers from a chronic illness so the boy & I don't have much male time & I wanted to give my full attention to him for that day - though I did see you & your four piper  :wink:. He had a ball on the kids lap as we 'chased' the audi sport in our diesel bmw on the corners - mr audi got a wagging finger from the marshalls but what a show to be following it for the 4 laps.

Regards, Kevin.

^^^^
Sorry to hear of your wife's suffering - A tough one but hats off to your efforts to get the most out of life in spite of adversity. I've been there myself with a son, but enough said.

And thanks for introducing yourself here anyway :happy2:

My 'four-piper' is quite famous! The VW05 RED plate helps.
