Requirements are estate only, automatic, minimum 2.0 litre engine. I'm really quite keen on the Audi RS4 Avant (B8 version).
I don't have an RS4 Avant. But I do have an RS6 C6 Avant, with 126k on the clock. The maintenance bills are eye-watering. I've spent just over £5k on maintenance in the last few months, and there's another £2k or so of work which will need doing in the next few months. Replacing the discs and pads all round last year cost nearly £4k, and that was with me shopping around for OEM parts. I suspect the RS4 would be similar, if not quite as bad.
It's a great car, they'll never make anything like it again, and I don't plan on ever selling it. But it does require a double holster for both of the money guns.

Yes. You can use as many Junction B connectors as you like.

He still believes tariffs are paid by foreign countries, doesn't he?

Grey or black vinyl tape. Bit of a bodge, but who's going to know?

It'll fit the frame. It won't fit the fork if it's a straight 1 1/8" fork rather than a 1 1/8" - 1 1/2" tapered fork.

Yep, I could relate to the initial slide-hammer based enthusiasm followed by the dawning realisation that it wasn't going to work.

Removing hubs can be a right swine of a job. I ended up making a dedicated hub puller out of box section steel, 5mm plate steel, and two 6 ton hydraulic bottle jacks.

Any idea if these will find their way on to my UK License?
No.

Probably. A big wobbly gutless beige Polo. With really nasty cheap plastic interior trim.
On the other hand, insurance isn't actually that bad. I pay less than £600 a year, despite my NCB taking a big hit thanks to Ms Bluebell Brazil of Canterbury and her Vauxhall Insignia in 2023.
