Lots of grins for your bucks - that's what it's all about. Good to see you got to drive a real car without all that automatic gearbox nonsense ;-) Sweet.

Perhaps you should put Herman in early retirement, bite the bullet, and blow your wad on the RS4 - in white perhaps? :) Was out in a new M3 demo the other day just for the hell of it, so have now been introduced to the world of 400 pony plus V8 saloons myself - madness! Richy's Trumpet looks very well sorted - Cadwell Park? Sweeeeet! Perhaps you should put Herman in early retirement, bite the bullet, and blow your wad on the RS4 - in white perhaps? :)

Your motah looks lovely. I think I'll paint a number on the side of Herman so I get the same experience :-/ @richy - I agree, jumping of a stick or kicking a ball is no fun at all.

With it fully off you feel the front/back going and have to react or you will be in trouble. The obstacle avoidance exercise in the RS4 made this quite apparent. On a normal road, I'd keep ESP on. Safety to others, etc. But as one of the instructors said, "real men don't use ESP." :-) @thetechobear - I found it quite hard to get into serious trouble with ESP on, but certainly not impossible.

It's a perfectly understandable, healthy and natural pastime, far more so than kicking a ball around or jumping over a stick.
