Yeah, it's my car. Just went to see it today. Luckily the interior, and body (mostly) are fine, so it's just the mechanicals that need repairing / replacing. It will certainly need a new motor, I need to talk to the insurance company to find out what happens next.

It's a great feature in the mag though, especially the tunnel shots :-)

Tried Borders, for the issue they're still sitting on Dec. 2008 issues. Tried calling Books A Million as they are all the way across town. The kid I spoke with never heard of the magazine. The quest continues...

Got it today and it's a very nice feature, although I spotted one minor and one major mistake (Stating the S4 has 330bhp and explaining that the Weissach rear axle produces toe-out if you lift off) Unless it's me who's got it backwards, it's preventing just that, making the wheel toe-in instead.

Oh, and I'd like to see them wrap the 16" tyres around the 17" wheels of the GTS

Still, they have only nice things to say about our cars, so I guess a couple of slip-ups can be forgiven

Cheers,
Erling

At least three different cars, right? I wonder why?

Certainly can't find the issue in my small town.
