Default new toy - Audi RS2 Avant
Picked it up on tuesday evening at the very east part of Norway. It is a 1994 Audi RS4 Avant. In mint condition and 100% stock. It has had two owners (one guy, and one dealer), and it is an absolute blast to drive. Took some time to get used to the turbo lag though, hehe. Interior is recaro seats with black leather and grey alcantara inserts. It's run 140.000kms with a complete service history at Audi or Porsche dealers. It is on winter wheels with snowtires in the pictures.

On my way to Bergen, a "normal" Audi 80 Avant pulled up next on me on the ferry, and it was the first time I ever saw these to "Dr.Jekyll & Mr.Hyde" together in person. It was very interesting, but I think the owners of the 80 thought I was some boy racer with a bodykit and ''5 exhaust........hehe, they looked awfully strange at me. They should have known..

here are some pics I took on the way. The weather was so crappy I only got a few shots before it went bad again. Yes it changes quick in the mountains.

That's a great familiy car, and they are seriously fast. I saw 2 guys in a RS2 on the Nordschleife in October 2006, they were fast!
Congrats on your new car, I wish you a lot of save km's.

they are fast indeed, a bit faster than I originally thought, and they return an amazing "smiles per miles" value

No tuning... I won't mess with what is already a great car. The only thing is a Pioneer satnav with reverse camera, and maybe I'll change to Porsche Big Brake Kit with. And new porsche summer wheels if the big brakes wont fit underneath the old stock ones. 8)

But if it would have been my car I wouldn't have done it too

you sure can, there are several RS2's running high, 600+ (2,5ltr bore) in Norway. They seme very reliable for such hp ratings as well. I spoke with a danish guy last summer who ran a 585hp kit, and he drove it like he stole it every time, and he had done 80.000kms after the upgrade without any problems
