My one issue with the RS4 is that it has rendered the sixty-plus grand I spent on an S4 droptop six months ago obsolescent. I have a paltry 340hp. Even that frigging Chrysler beats me on horsepower. <sigh>

Still, nice to know that the spiritual successor is good, I guess.

Hmm... definitly looks like her thats for sure. You've got one hell of an eye there. It's not that wierd that she is there at the same episode, I mean after all the climber guys were in the audience... I wouldn't be surprised if they let Ian Wright stick around.

I've since put personalised Veteran's plates on it. Afforded on a military pay cheque, maybe it'll convince more people to join.

^Nice. I really like the cabrio. But for a daily driver, I don't think I'll buy one. (Not an S4, obviously, because we have to pay for our fuel images/smilies/tongue.gif)

I only need 3 or 4 clicks, tops, to have it fully pulled. Never hitted the arm rest, in my previous B5 A4, or my C5 A6.

Default Which part of france was the Audi in?

Does anyone know which part of France Jeremy was driving the Audi around in? (The bit where he races the climbers)

I've managed to get a screenshot of the map he's pointing at but it's not exactly clear if he's in the pyrenees or the alps and my map of france isn't helping especially...

Hmm, can't get this url markup to work, the image is here: http://www.sigmaworks.com/pics/Top Gear - [07x02] - 2005.11.20.avi - 00001.PNG

Cheers,
Rob

That's exactly the opposite of what it does.
Check back with your sources. When they're sober.
A Limited Slip Differential (LSD) is a modified or derived type of differential gear arrangement that allows for some difference in rotational velocity of the output shafts, but does not allow the difference in speed to increase beyond a preset amount. In a car or automobile, such limited slip differentials are sometimes used in place of a standard differential, where they convey certain dynamic advantages, at the expense of greater complexity.

but you bought the convertible. the normal S4 sedan costs atleast $15K less than the base RS4.

Does any one have any idea how they filmed the shots of the climbers?
They zoomed in right on their fingers grabbing rock
I think they had the climbers mount small cameras somehow
