3.0R Spec B v Audi RS4 Avante
Posted: Mon Apr 30, 2007 5:44 pmWas bored Saturday arvo and decided to while away the time with a 'Glorious' drive near Bris, I usually take the bike but am bikeless at the moment 
Due to the lateness and the heavy cloud that looked like it could get wet, there were hardly any bikes up there which meant no one to play with Just as you start down the back of the mountain I catch up to an RS4 wagon with nice aftermarket wheels tootling along behind a slow car. Slow car turned into a lookout and Mr Audi accelerates away.... cool, someone to play with... It's a tight twisty downhill so outright power is not critical. The Audi was certainly doing it easier than the Lib but I did keep him in check all the way down... once out to the T intersection he was certainly a little 'surprised' 
by how well the Sube kept up 
I've always been impressed with the Spec B handling but this was the highlight, my only real complaint with the set up is the rack rattle through bumpy corners, and it gets a little loose when trail braking into corners (but then that could be the shagged 050's). It's made me wonder about how much difference whiteline bars will make??? I might have to talk to PHAT and then see if I can't find that Audi again
Anyone else go out for a drive on the weekend?
