Default Out with the RS6 and in with a new RS4 !!

In a moment of boredom a couple of days ago, I called my local Audi Main dealer and asked if they had access to any RS4 Saloons.
As chance would have it , due to the potential owner just having lost his licence, they had a brand new Mugello Blue saloon with nearly all the extras coming in a fortnight.
Within 10 minutes the deal was done and I will trade in my (also Mugello Blue) RS 6 Saloon against it. Only reason for the change is that the size of the RS4 suits me better these days.
So am looking forward to getting it and will post some shots of it once I physically have it.
With that and the 360 Modena in December, I will have a right pair of high revving V8's.

you should take the ferrari engine out of the 360 and put a RS4 engine in to replace it!

I love the new M5, but in real terms in Aberdeen weather in winter the RS4 was a better choice for me.

My Old man loves his new RS4. Such a nice car.

Piece of advise though. Keep the sport button off around town. The throttle is a bit snappy to drive smoothly at low speeds.
You can't throw the RS around like you can an Impreza, as you can deffo feel the extra weight, but I know which one I'd prefer to own.

Feel good factor is certainly there with the RS4.

Good choice in car Dave. They do look best in Black though
I'll take a couple of pics of my Old mans, and post them up.

Dave,

Did you have to bend over 'badly' when you traded the RS6 ?
