I thought it would a lovely idea to spend the day waiting around on a roadside for this to happen......nuts




Clutch pedal went to the floor, just one week after I get the car back from it's electrical issue paperbag

At least the car will be cleaned before I get her back spinbounce

I expected a "Spotted" post from PHer AWG454, as we crossed paths in Drayton/Taverham, as the Audi was being recovered on the flat bed.

Sorry about that Darren, someone left a skip like that in front of my house once as well.
That also took quite a few hours before someone removed it. ?£^$%^%&**()())_

fly tipping is just getting everywhere ?????????????

What we need is a day out somewhere to get over it !!

Baked Bean - I know about the the usual RS4 issues, and my particular car has been very reliable. The electrical issue was due to a mis-wired Road Angel draining the battery and the clutch is just wear and tear smile

Simpo - I saw that post. The was alot of damage! Can't believe the amount to the AM vs. the other car eek

el ringo - MORE power?! nutshehe

Pb3 - The gearbox was fine back then. The Porsche had a slipping clutch rotate

gadgit - Yer, the RACcouncil really aren't that good are removing large chuncks of aluminum, steel and leather hehe

extremekiter - redfaceshoottongue outwinkhehe


Any finally an update.....The car should be back with me on Friday with a brand new clutch AND flywheel bouncedriving

Unfortunately I won't be on the track day. Dad's expressed an interest in doing one later in the year, so I've told him I'll wait until then biggrin
