Don't have an Avant (yet) but I can match you a Polar Silver C4S and Black FJ to your black C4S and Silver FJ



The FJ is up for sale as I really don't need off road and I never tow my boat with as orginally planned and I plan to replace it with an older:
A6 Avant or
A6 All Road or
M-B E class wagon w 4matic or
BMW 3 or 5 xit

No no no, it's not spelled "Avant," it's spelled "Touring."

BTW, AW's E55 estate is my wagon grail! Nice!!!

Thanks Darin/Gonzilla!

That E55 Estate was a beast.

C4S is getting a few additional bits and hope to put up some photos soon.

Who needs an SUV when you have these beauties available. Handling and performance wise there is really no choice and the dog can come along for the ride.
Nice comparo by Top Gear

Ginch (sorry I don't know your real name). We have almost identical cars. You have great taste! I was wondering if you could let me know where you got your exhaust tips. They look great. And how difficult they were to install. Thanks.

Don't apologize! My name is Derek. The tips are wide ovals i got from Darin when I bought my Fister stg III exhaust. They do fit very nice. I didn'ty install them as the shop that installed the exhaust also put on the tips but I'm pretty sure its a piece of cake to install should you want to do it yourself!

Nice car BTW!!!

Avant......


No comment on the Avant................. yet, but the Subie LL Beanie serves for now.

Derek, sweet S4, is it Nogaro or Sprint Blue?

FYI there is an 08 S4 Avant currently FS on Autotrader in the San Francisco area. Dark Blue over black and Niello of Sacramento just sold a similar one.

Never owned an Audi (yet), but the wife and I are big wagon / touring / avant / estate fans.

Couple pics of her old e39 5 series and her current e46 3 series:
