Hi Folks,

Just to let you know that I will be posting a full report on the B7 and Roadster S following my visit to Goodwood shortly once the photos arrive from my mate's camera (who BTW is about to order a Roadster...

...suffice to say that I met Andy Bovensiepen (the boss) and Kris Odwarka (the Operations chappy) and spent large amounts of time being an Alpina anorak with them both.

Watch this space

Charles

It's expensive for me too. I forgot to mention that Alpina have decided to build my next car - a B6 - which will have the same engine as the B7...

...now where did I put my chequebook Very Happy

The only downside I've heard is that power will be down slightly (in the B5 at least) due to restrictions in air flow Sad Even so it is a huge amount of power and maybe the 6 won't have same issue.

I have to admit I much prefer the new sixes interior to that of the five Sad. Really hate the second binnicol (or however you say it) - the one with the TV in it - really annoys me.
