Nope, A defender drove into me in a tunnel once though.
The perils of actually driving the cars you own.
Now stop being a huge bender and bring your RS4 out for some Need for Speed style antics

A large vessel ploughed into your tunnel is more likely the correct story.

Its been like 6 months, I should probably update this
I took the Tubi exhaust off, driving it regular was a chore, to give an idea of why, this is what it sounded like
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnmQhulLxSU
So, put it the standard exhaust back on and to my surprise the car drives instantly better, much smoother acceleration, no jerky gearchanges and I dont instantly look like a bender
Fitted a nice shiney nob off an A1 sport and changed the headunit to a Pioneer as the original unit is pre-historic
Fitted my plate, had all 4 wheels refurbed plus the spare as well as 8mm spacers upfront and 10mm on the rear but not photos of this. I didnt think it would make a difference but it certainly fills out the arches alot better.
Apart from that I've just washed it and left it sitting in the garage. Noticed yesterday the tax and MOT have expired, so in a year i've completed a grand total of just under 1500 miles
So thats it really, I dunno what I want to do with it. Probably wait till summer when I start looking at TVR's as usual....

Red looks shit imo.
This is Daytona Grey. Looks lovely.
Sepang blue is a nice colour for the RS4 too

I drove past a blue one yesterday and it did nothing for me.
Black, Grey or Red is the way to go! yours looked mint in black Ross but after my Black BMW i really cant be arsed to keep it clean. Look amazing when polished up but maintaining it is a ball ache.
Did either of you have any suspension issues?

I did. Had two shocks replaced by audi. Some people go coilovers but it's always a compromise. The RS4 DRC is fucking epic when well maintained. Once the car is on V3 DRC shocks, they wont fail. The V2's will go eventually unfortunately.
And yeah, black is a bastard to keep clean and looking nice, but when it's shiny... it's shiny!

When mine was las in Audi they commented on how fresh the DRC hoses/ pipes looked, its not had any problems in the year I've had it.
It's due a service now, I'm reluctant to bother since its only done 1800 miles since its last service but the anoraks will moan if the servie schedule is not maintained come time to sell.
It also needs the front end blown over, knowing the stone chips are there is killing my OCD.
