I don't know why, but I am not an Audi fan. Having said that, the Audi V12 diesel prototypes which came 2nd at Le Mans the other week were interesting. They (and the Peugeot's) were almost silent as they went by at 200mph. Everything else needed ear plugs.

Neither am I - they've taken the corporate front end to its ultimate end and they all look the same - even the Q7
Only ones I wouldn't turn my nose up are the R8 and A5Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)
Got to say, the modern motors are all just up-market euro-boxes. BMW and Audi do them very well and they are becomming good at reflecting eachothers blandness.
However, when it comes to the sportier models....... The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom

There's a newish white R8 always parked up on the grass outside a house on the road going out of Chobham towards the M3.
I've always wondered why he doesn't park it inside on the drive, as it's a large enough house.
Is it an R8 owner thing, if you've got it, flaunt it?
