Default another newbie!

Been lurking here for sometime and picked up my new ride last week. An 02 triple black A4...already ordered a bunch of mods because of this place! I could see gettin' in trouble around here is easy!

No link is complete without pics, so I've attached a link (had to upload the photo's this weekend).

Haven't been able to really take her out and open her up because of all the rain, but there will come a time! Great ride, this one is going to be some fun!
