In the words of BALDRICK - You Lucky Lucky .........................

Sounds great Kam - I just dare not go anywhere near an Audi dealership ( esp Listers ) in fear of temptation and my wife is itching to go in and order herself the new TT - but when we do go over I will make sure it's in the RRS - simply to show why I left the marque.

maybe I can persuade my wife to order the RS4 but then I'll never get her out of those seats that hug & grip you firmly when cornering

New TT, whens that out then, u got any spy pics?

My brother in law has also ordered the RS4 for the same delivery time, and has just placed an order for the M3 as well for next year. We reckon we will be looking for M5's after that, but im thinking more along the lines of an RRS s'charged or the DV8 by then hopefully. Don't go into a dealership anytime soon mate.. apparently Audi are knocking out dealer show pieces for the RS4 right now and they are set to be arriving soon, so you will definitely be more then tempted when you see it im guessing.

I think this is it. I had a TT before the RRS - a bit dated now so a new model is long overdue. I doubt I'll buy one though with my ever expanding family.

Congrats Kam - looks a blinder mate! I take it the Daytona Grey you've ordered is one of the cars in that line up in the rs6.com video? I'd have to wait for the Avant personally, but the saloon looks a hoot and sounds amazing!!

Wow that TT looks good.. better then that hathback thingy the press were exclaiming to be the next TT!!

Thanks Schmoogle, yeah im 90% sure its that colour in the lineup of the first clip, went off the blue from that clip, and red although it looks great especially on the RS/S audi cars, is too loud for me (and where i work!! its a proper hood!) . It has to be that Grey because they are only doing the one grey. Plus i think the black trim for the grill and chrome work will look best on that grey.

Cant find a pic I saw recently of the new instument binacle that had a great sat-nav screen between speedo/rev counter - it was in 3D and had a pic of mini TT on the road

Nice one Kam.
I had an RS6 in Daytona Grey, but I went for the Silver Grey interior. Looked stunning.
I also had an RS4 in black with Silver Grey leather and that also had the Balck Optic Pack....very stealth
I think you might lose the alloy mirrors if you have the Optic Pack, I certainly did on my RS4. They were body coloured i.e. Black.
I hope you've got a clean licence, you're going to need it You can clock up points very, very quickly.

They obviously haven't messed with it too much. The new Audi front grille and a smoother roofline by the looks of things... that front-quarter shot makes it look like a Merc CL...

oh and the other thing which is crap for the RS4 is, if you want to keep the racing RS4 bucket seats with the electric air side bolsters, the choice is black valcona leather or cloth. No other colour combos, if you choose another colour, silver nappa for example, the seats are downgraded to the normal S4 seats, which are nice don't get me wrong but you lose the air bolsters which is a unique feature to the Rs4 (and M5 where they have ripped the idea off from).

Looks like he needs a smart car.  2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Too right, especially if you're going to go from the RS4 to the new M3! My M3 got me from 0 to 6 points in a very short time! That's one of the reasons why the RRS is good for me - it's not going to get me disqualified any time soon (well, unless I get snapped on major A roads or motorways when it's difficult to keep to 70). If I keep it for a couple of years, my license will nearly be clean again. Then I can go and buy an M5 (or maybe the RS4 Avant, who knows?) and build up another set

Paul B, you've got me worried now..
Ive emailed Audi customer services demanding an answer, have told my salesman that he better be careful what he is saying and to make sure and have posted on rs246.com as well to make sure..
Buying an S /RS car and paying all that dough for the privilege in my opinion, and getting a car without the hallmark trim will be as it it has come without the engine! i will really go mad and am getting quite heated thinking about it now..

Sorry Kam, didn't mean to get you heated.
I initally felt the same as you and I didn't notice until a little while later that the morrors weren't alloy. But once I'd got used to it, I actually preferred them in black. When I saw other RS4's, I felt they looks just a little bit tacky.
But you need to satisfy yourself that you'll still have them with the Optic Pack.

am getting a little annoyed with the audi salesman and audi in general as the speccing brochure is so stupid for the RS4, so many things are there to catch you out.

Just some examples:
If you have GSM car kit in armrest, u loose the lambo steering wheel.
If you choose any colour but black, you loose the RS4 seats and the Air bolster things.
If you choose Optics pack, you loose mirrors???

although all changes are noted in the brochure, it doesn't say anything about loosing mirrors in any literature. Even Audi themselves don't seem to know.. come on how hard is it!? either they are or they aren't.. i am running out of time my order can be changed, and i have a feeling Audi might tell me to stick it up my arse when the car comes and i demand the alloy mirrors. How much did they cost to replace MDP again on your old S4? £600 was it!?
