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 :P

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! :lol: I'd love one as a daily, better than a boring diesel sh*tbox!

Maybe... :D 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 :driving:

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

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

We'll see, but then again the less grip the better...4wd skids is fun too :D 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. :thumbsup:

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! :lol:

Enjoy. :driving:

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 :lol: The noise is good though
