I didn't half miss me TVRs

[pistnskint]

NOT
2 Chimearas, a Griff and a Tamora - all abs brilliant, but got tired of continual maintenance. Went to Audi, an S3 then a 3.2 TT Roadster, but no soul.
Just been on EVO triangle in my RS4 cabriolet and fantastic - the noise and power is back. I'll never mourn my TVRs now, tho I still love the make.
If ever you get fed up get an RS4
414 BHP- tremendous. Press the sport button and it all goes ballistic.

Try that much power in a Chim... It will once again re-define the meaning of ballistic Much more fun than that German stuff

[T_Pot]

Audi RS4 is a damned nice car and getting down to bargain prices now for 2006 models. Sound nice too.
BUT - they just don't have that 'something' a TVR has. I'd love one but for sheer fun the TVR is hard to beat!

Both cars coincidentally back from the menders today. V new RS6 and v old Chim. Guess which one I drove first - clue - not made in Germany.

[Bluebottle]

Roll reversal, I give up a 6 yr love affair with Audi when I bought my first tiv, my last being an S6...If i could afford to I'd have an RS4 in a heart beat - but only as a second car

[MoreSteam]

I've got an Audi as my everyday car, which is a great car, although a bit under powered. I'm working on the better half to get it changed to an RS4 . No luck yet, but I haven't given up.

Do you have a bumper sticker that reads 'I Love Understeer'?

[Chris71]

Edited because I failed to read the NOT bit.

Have to say I've found most of the other cars I've driven rather souless in comparison - particularly the German ones - but whatever floats ya boat.

That said, I'd quite like an RS6 Avante as a daily driver to partner something a bit rawer for the weekends...

I have an old RS6 Avant and am very impressed by how well it performs (and sounds). Soul by the boat load and as many admiring glances from JP as in most TVRs.

I collect it from my dealer on Friday after a full service and new KW V3 supension upgrade and must admit, I'm looking forward to getting it back.

At least the V8 means its got something in common with the Chim and Griff. You seem to be working your way through all the performance Audi's,Ian. Will it be an R8 next?
