orly? I was such a jerk in that video. oops. He did great. He killed me in the slow stuff, but on the fast stuff, my stupidity was faster.
The most embarassing thing I say in the video is, "the RS4 has 3 LSDs". Moral of the story is... I need an exhaust so that my voice doesn't get picked up on camera. Last edited by satakal; 04-21-2009 at 01:31 PM.. |

horrible case of thread-jacking here. Thanks S4! You know what they say about "audi guys". Someone brougut up the classic BMW joke and I kinda have to agree. You know... the difference between a bmw and a porcupine.
EDIT: dude, mcgyver did really good. We compliment him on video. It's just that he didn't want to fly though the fast part which is fine. That section of track after the bus stop can get hairy with cars as fast as ours. It sucks not driving your car home from a track day. |

Well..I was an Audi guy for about 10 years...maybe still am an Audi guy...but I have owned four BMWs too. I guess I have bad and good habits from all kinds of places.
I wish I coulda come out for that event..but work wouldnt allow it..nor my wallet. No problem on the comments...they were funny...especially about the LSD one.
