That's funny you say that

Some years ago, I asked the chef in a cafe situated inside a Christian bookshop for bacon and eggs and asked if he could make sure it was halal bacon.

People behind me laughed out loud but I almost had a heartattack because I hadn't noticed how big the knife was in his hand, and how willing he was in using it.

Long and short of it, I settled for just coffee and the poor pig was saved for another mouth

that is just a hilariously fantastic story!!

So this is the real secret to why you rarely lose the drag races, the blessings of the piggie gods!!

To be honest, I race against kangaroos at 240 km/hr in the Australian outback (where there's no speed restriction). Drag races are for growth ups not me - growing old is mandatory; growing up, not so much

🤪😜

Lol people should start going there to test cars, who needs the unrestricted autobahn anymore these days when you have the same thing WITH kangaroos by your side?!!

I've hit a kangaroo at 90 km/hr and another at 190 km/hr

Guess which one did the most damage?

I’m guessing both cars were totaled?

The one I hit at 90 km/hr nearly got me killed.

The one I hit at 190, well he popped my fog light but you should have seen it do a Cirque du Soleil act doing five somersaults before hitting the ground.

Since then, I've hit 11 more but only the first one at 90 did the most damage.

Damnnn, that’s a lot of kangaroo accidents! I hope you got that extra kangaroo insurance coverage!

If you happen to have any spare M cars laying around I can take some off your hands

Believe it or not, I've only damaged three cars

If you time it perfectly well, they bounce off your front wheel and damage nothing - that's why you speed up when you see one coming; you don't want to hit them head on

As for the M cars, they are reserved for Hills driving - right now, you have the choice of the M2CS or the M4CSL 😉

They are far too expensive to risk with dumb animals on the back roads; no, not kangaroos, I'm talking about caravan drivers

Well, sounds like you are an expert in the field!

Please make sure you at least PPF all your cars, or at least full front end PPF!!

M4CSL ftw!

I agree, soccer moms are more dangerous than kangaroos! For these people a minivan and an m5 the only difference for them is the ride height!!!

Ain't that the truth

Great comparo but really the only enthusiast car you can take skiing up to the mountains with a family and all the luggage is the RS6 Avant (aside from the E63). I saw one up in VT a few weeks ago with a ski box and it was gooooorgeous. It isn’t always about the straight line acceleration!

There is one somewhere in the vast apartment complex I live in. I've seen it coming out of the garage of one of the other buildings. Its a purple one and it looks great! Love these cars.

Did you prefer the Intake JB4 or the Intake Racechip??

Yea the RS6 Avant is a gorgeous ride, and this coming from an F90 M5C driver.

The JB4 on my 2019 with same intake ran quicker times than my 2020 with racechip. Could be the difference in cars. Plus the 2020 had carbon ceramics and forged wheels. So I would give the nod to the JB4

So both had same intake and the 2020 was a bit lighter but the JB4 car ran better times? That’s interesting but what do you mean the difference in cars?

It’s more than just a bit lighter carbon brakes are 42 pounds and the OEM forged wheels another 6.6 pounds lighter per wheel. 70lbs total of less rotational mass is quite a big advantage, for it to to still be making slower times.

Jb4 changes more things, it’s more thorough than racechip. Jb4 in fact is not far off from a full proper tune while racechip is still a ways off from a full Ecu tune on an f90.

Ahh okay makes sense thank you for the insight!

Yea, and correction it’s 70lbs less rotational weight because it’s 6.6lbs lighter PER wheel.

Thanks!

The JB4 is a lot more in-depth though from installation to setup right? It’s a lot more android to iPhone if I may ? 😂

Lol yea it takes a more time. For me personally jb4 is the android and racechip is the simplicity of the iPhone, but well worth it for the extra gains.

Lol yeah that’s exactly what I was referring to as well by that.
