I can only imagine. Brings back memories of my old E30 M3. Man that thing was fun. An 02tii on steriods is what that thing was.

Happy with the GP these days.

Is it just me or are the headlights on the GP different than the xenon ones on the 06 S's?

They're not xenons. Xenons are not an option on GPs because of weight saving measures.

Those pics actually make the garage look cluttered.......clutter is not allowed in there.
This is an older pic (from when I had my Audi S4), but this is what it looks like.....

Your garage looks great! It is inspiring. I'm going out to my garage and start cleaning up right now!

BTW, the Aero grille looks great on the GP. Now, you need to put a shorter antenna on, so your rear spoiler doesn't press into the antenna when the hatch is all the way up.

Thanks for posting the pics. The GP is a special car, and I'm happy to be part of the GP owners family!

LOL.....There's not much "mountain" in the biking here. I just use it to ride to the gym and get some cardio in here and there.
