Top man. Plenty of research in front of me on k04 options then! (I almost enjoy the learning as much as the driving..)

Yeah I must admit I do enjoy a good research session, gets quite exciting when you know you're nearly ready to pull the trigger on a nice purchase

On his third run he was only 0.1 of a second behind my best time but I was having to hold back as the car is still a bit wounded. Definitely wasn't an easy win :signLOL:, these two cars are very well matched and Jay has more to come soon so I need to up my game a bit .

If Jay gets the improved injection he's looking for, you'll have to strip your GTI or up your power to win next time. :grin:

Yeah that Scirocco is becoming a real pain :signLOL:
Hopefully with the K04 engine and my back seats out I can stay ahead :driver:

So today was the Boosted UK meet at the Akemann Inn Aylesbury, a nice little meet (although its getting quite big now) in the carpark of a really nice pub. Spent yesterday cleaning my car and the supercharged RS4 ready to meet up with a convoy at Beaconsfield services, cars were 2x 440ish bhp EVO X's, Hamman M4, R34 GTR 680bhp, E30 M3, E63 wagon then me and the 620bhp RS4. I know mine isnt doing great ATM and knew there was a genuine chance it might die on me trying to keep up with this bunch of butters.
So we left Beaconsfield and on the slip road to the M40 had a good pull getting all the way up to 70mph!!, then hit some traffic and again off we went at full blast back up to 70 :rolleye:. Then a car died.
BUT IT WASNT ME!! :signLOL:
So literally a mile into our pretty awesome convoy the fuel pump on the RS4 shat itself and decided it was having a day off so put an end to that pretty quickly.
But the RAC were rapid and we still made it to the show in mine even though about 15 minutes later most people left, still had a nice chat with some people then a good lunch followed by giving the car a good spanking down some B roads on the way back.
All in all not a bad day as the RS4 could have been far worse and weather was excellent.
