      Your right @louisbosco - I meant RS4 Avant, and more specifically Avants in general. We don't get any performance versions sadly 😞 . Not that my Audi experiences have been positive enough for me to drop coin on one, though…

        @Appfaff:
        Considering that it was in the shop for 2 months, I bet you are well below your mileage, so you might get out ahead 🙂

        Mileage is a bit different on this lease. My wife’s company is owned by the Volkswagen Group. She can lease up to four Audi’s or VW’s at a time for the family at 1% of MSRP with absolutely no drive off  or associated fees and they even cover insurance ( why it had to be repaired at shop that they contract with ) The car has to be kept a minimum of 8 months and no longer than a year, It can be turned in early if you reach 8000 miles. One heck of a perk. A friend of mine is driving a seven at almost 3 times what I pay for mine

        Cheers

                    This or that…

                    I have a 1984 Toyota FJ45 in factory 464 Beige color.  I'm in the market for a soft top I'm trying to decide between the classic tan or the black.  Any opinions?

                    FJ Company's $200K FJ45 restore.  It's not mine obviously, but same color and wheel base.


                    Here's a FJ43 (2ft shorter) in beige with a black top

                        For a motor that will never leave the showroom that light colour will look lovely, in real life however, the black for me 🙂

                          I think the black looks better. I would pick the beige only for temperature convenience, if I were to use the FJ45 in a sunny, hot place.

                          The journey is the objective.

Love his work, truly great stuff. Working on a gold bracelet for FJ trade out of him now!

                                @Clint_D @FormulaPfaff and I saw an Icon Bronco in Austin while we were there in November and it was a thing of true beauty.

                                I visit their website almost weekly…

                                Maybe one day They will start taking 100-Series for the ICON  treatment so I can send mine off 🙂

                                  It's very odd to see an SUV that looks like a Phantom, same case with the Bentayga (that looks like a bastard Conti. GT). RR (or BMW) and Bentley (VW) should've designed them with more unique characteristics instead of simply putting a well-known front on an SUV chassis.

                                    I usually like BMW products but the rolls suv feels like it’s late to the party.

                                    Plus it’s hideous

                                      As sedan sales are declining every luxurious/super sports car manufacturer is jumping on the SUV bandwagon (no pun intended): Bentley, RR, Lambo, Ferrari, Aston Martin etc.

                                        I'd have preferred Bentley or Rolls Royce to have built a hybrid SUV / saloon, along the lines of Nick Ashley's Strange Rover.

                                            i do feel the need for an SUV on roads like this and on coilovers…  😢 😢 😢

                                            but nonetheless, i thoroughly enjoyed the driving. a little pain worth enduring..
