I cheated on my Mini!!!

I went to a Audi event this morning and they let me drive this thing



A Audi RS4. 4.2L V8 that pumps out 420HP!!! 6 speed manual with Quattro AWD. The one thing I noticed was that the clutch was light. Lighter than in my MCS . I almost stalled it a couple of times b/c I was not expecting it to be so light. But anyways, I can't believe I got to drive a car with more than 400 horsepower.

So sexy. At least you picked a good thing to cheat on the MINI with.

I hate the Audi clutch. Faaarrr too light. Its a huge complaint I have with my 2005 A4.

Oh sure...it's all about horsepower now, isn't it?!?! And here your MINI's been so faithful, always there in good times and bad. Working it's tires to the belts, it has!!! Oh yes...it's just a MINI, but it's heart is good and true so snap back in line, laddie, and behave yourself!!! Scandalous behavior!!!!

^^ the thing about that A5 coupe in that pict is that it looks similar to
an E46...sort of (from that angle only). BMW had a great thing going,
but just screwed it up this time, imho.

Yup, me too. The new Audis may all look the same but they look very good in comparison.

Ooooo, A5 news it seems like:

"Top Audi exec confirms ‘A5,’ SUV rumors


Audi’s executive vice president in charge of Audi of America said in a published interview today that Audi is planning a sports car slotted between the Audi TT and the Audi R8, in addition to one or “possibly two” new SUVs. Johan de Nysschen did not specify when the products would arrive, but his comments almost certainly confirm the much-rumored Audi A5 (based on the Nuvolari concept - pictured), as well as the rumored ‘Q5‘ crossover. Nysschen also leaves the door open for the Q3, which would follow later. Recent reports have suggested an RS5 coupe will be offered in addition to the A5."

A man should have several lovers

We are not by nature a monogamous species, therefore you should feel no guilt by having more than one automotive lover. Many of us are afflicted by the same MINI/Audi dichotomy, faithful to both brands, yet married to neither. Some, dare say I many, harbor additional automotive fantasies. Who among us has not lusted in their heart for an Aston Martin Vanquish, Ferrari SWB California Spyder (the Ferris Bueller Ferrari), or an MG-TC?

I feel like Dr. Phil this morning. Hey, where is the good Dr.? Anyone seen his postings of late?

Owner of both a MCS and an Audi A6 Avant.

Sad but true, I talked to the AUDI dealer yesterday. All 20 RS4 that they have for that event will be crushed after the event is over.

They brought 12 RS4 and 10 Q7 preproduction cars for "Street of Tomorrow" show.
