Bob - I  drove one around brands hatch a couple of weeks ago and was very impressed - much nicer than those twin turbo ones that Mjim and PVR have!

Ironically I was torn between new RS4 and the X5. It was the wait till summer 2013 at the earliest and a desire for a change( S4 and B7 RS4 last 2 cars) that swung it

Both brilliant cars. RS4 sounds fruity!

That was the one thing that impressed me with the Q5. Oh and the heating / cooling cup holder. That reminds me for the light side.

Just how many BMWs and Audis do you have to buy before you get invited on all these freebie track days ??!!  Or is it down to your charm?!    :))

I'm going wrong somewhere clearly ...

Well my BMW is four years old and I've only bought one Audi from this dealer so it is not because I am lucrative customer!!

Nor can it be because of charm and personality, so I guess it must be something else  :))
