Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Stock wheels are back on th vw, just put the rs4 reps on to see if is like the way they look. I actually only have 3 of them, and they're rattle canned black, then when I buy a 4 th one I'm gonna have all 4 powder coated. Still unsure on color, but I got a buddy who owes me a favor, so he said he'd blast and coat all 4 for the cost of powder. I'm shopping suspension set ups now, still not sure if I want to go konis+springs or full coil, but it will be static, and wheels won't be installed until the stock suspension is gone.

Nice rides 91, I want a tdi wagon for my next vdub, such useful vehicles!

So I'm on the elevator at work today and really, REALLY good looking woman gets on. She works in the building. I've parked next to her.

Me: Hey. How's the S4 convertible?
Her: The R-S4 is awesome as always [sexy grin]

Haha, awesome! I saw a girl in a s13 coupe the other day, she had the fart can, stickers covering half the windshield, and the spare drift tires riding shotgun...I asked her to marry me but her windows were up. Someday, i'll find a nice girl that loves cars, someday... :/

Big, heavy, plenty of torque. Not nimble but still fun off road. Expecting to get a lot of miles out of it.

Here's a better example:

Sorry Mate! Audi does NOT make a 2 door S4 coupe at least they dont sell it state side! It can still be a cabrio if the hard top comes off!
I think your looking at the A5 family of cars



This is a A4 Cabrio.....with a hardtop! Take off the hardtop and what are you left with? A Carbrio. Show me a real S4 Coupe please...

My Schwinn 7-speed cruiser is pretty much like a '65 Pontiac Star Chief. 389 power, comfortable, but a Bonneville or GTO is ain't!
