This came up for sale near me and I just couldn't resist, B7 RS4 in misano red.
4.2 litres of 4wd V8 power should see me through the arduous incoming 4 feet of winter snow we are sure to endure down here in the south
Excuse my crappy phone camera, best couple of pics I've got of her so far.

Nice! Bet you're asking Santa for snow this Xmas!
I'd love one as a daily, better than a boring diesel sh*tbox!

Maybe...
I can't daily a boring car, did it for two and a half years and wanted to kill myself! I'm still keeping my Z but saving her for the roof down summer time

Don't be fooled by 4wheel drive on those fat wheels, I can see winter tires being required shortly.

Nice motor but agree on the tire front otherwise you will have 4 spinning wheels instead of 2

We'll see, but then again the less grip the better...4wd skids is fun too
Survived last winter in the Z on standard run flats and it doesn't get much worse than that...

Not bad for a winter hack. They're a future classic too and I'd say they'll be going up in value soon.

Nice motor for a daily OP.
I know what you mean about boring dailys - my 1500cc Mazda 323 lasted 6 months then I couldn't stand it any longer! It's only saving grace was cheap road tax, but I realised life was too short so it went!
Enjoy.

I love the B7 RS4 - desperately wanted one a few years back. Closest I got was a A4 2.0 tfsi s line special edition pushing out 220 bhp, great car that.

I've never had 4wd or vag in my life so hopefully this turns out all good
The noise is good though

Well if you must by an Audi, then that's a cracker.
