Can't wait.

Re: Picking up the S4 Avant tomorrow

Sweeeet purchase.  Welcome to the world of //S-car-dom.

Only problem of having a noice car.  You're scared to park it anywhere near anyone.  And the bigger the car, the worse it becomes. I'm bad enough with the Saabaru, but the //S6...?  Instead of trying to score the near parking, I'm trying to score the corner spot, the wide spot, etc.  I learned to drop the ladies off at the destination, then park.

Re: Picking up the S4 Avant tomorrow

Great purchase! Is that still considered Nogaro blue?

That V8 can sound incredible with cutouts. Electric is the way to go so you can have raunchy German V8 when you want it, stock when you don't.

Yes, that is Nagaro Blue.   And +1 on the cut-outs. The Audi V8 is (as well as the Ford and Nissan) is one of the most awesome sounding commonly heard V8's out there. I'm guessing the sound has something to do with the firing order, but don't know if all three share the same firing order.  And, no, I'm not counting exotic V8's on sound, they're just not common enough for everyone to have heard.

Nice.

Nope.  Keeping the Corolla S for her.  The Corolla S is the daily driver.  The 92x and S4 are the weekend cars.  I'm just glad I can park the S4 in the garage, the 92x in the driveway and the Corolla S on the street.

Yup.  The paint is Nogaro Blue.

Nope, no future mods planned.  The stock V-8 is fast enough for me.  I might put on the 19" wheels later (that is also included)

Not bad for $16,000.

The wheel is definitely a Flik Justice. Those are the current shoes I have on my //S6, although in 17's. Don't see the point of oversized (and weight) wheels. Which is a  facepalm  when we realize that Flik Justice's aren't the lightest wheels out there.  Then again, neither are B5 + Audi Avus wheels.

They are a sweet Sportec replica no doubt. Especially at the prices edgeracing.com was offering these for a few years ago.

I also think they resemble the TT Celebration wheels pretty well.

They are NLA.  And, as I said, on the heavy side (I think my 17 x 8's are 21 lbs). Probably to make up for their less than awesome mfg.  Which explains the NLA part.  And EdgeRacing is gone, too.   I ended up with them because they:  were hubcentric,  I needed to replace my at that point square thanks to NYS DOT Borbet T's (I miss them), they look good on VAG products, and the available tire choices at Edge were decent since at the time Kumho MX's were sold out.   Never got NY to pay for the damaged wheels and shock, they claimed the pavement break shouldn't have damaged the wheels (it was unmarked and in the dark).  Hate local DOT's.

My C4 Avus' were so chewed up (came that way with the car) that they are regulated to winter rims. They're fugly (even when new) anyway.

Still envious of the //S4 Avant. 'Tis a sweet ride.  And yeah, V8 envy.  I like my I-5, but LOVE the V8!!!

Yes, those are 19" Flik Justice wheels.
