Default Audi S4 Cabriolet Photoshoot

I got in contact with this guy because he saw his 996TT on my site, unfortunately he just sold it so no chance for a photoshoot. He also owns an F355 in Singapore, and a Gransport is on the way once this Audi sells.

He was a really nice guy and even let me get behind the wheel for a bit, I know its not a hugely expensive car but its still very trusting. I have to say so far I'm fairly disappointed in the "driving pleasure" German cars give me, just not exciting enough IMO. I know it would help if it was a proper manual but as it is I prefer driving the WRX so much more.

I was suprised that the V8 made so much noise, expected it to be much quieter....thats a good thing though. Straight line performance is pretty similar to my car I'd say, obvioulsy with more go from lower revs than the turbo WRX.

Here are some pics...

You really know how to make a proper photoshoot. The pics look great, especially the 6th one. The light (is it dusk or dawn?) is yet again superb.

Nice pics the location in the marina is beautifull, and the pics in front of the building are cool too 8)

We stopped by his mates place who has an E46 M3 but the car was dirty so he didn't want it photographed. :bah: It would've been nice if I got a chance to drive that.

We had to do it in the morning or the marina would've been full with people and their oversized boats getting in the way.

I love the mornings, especially when its crispy cold.
