In the UK yesterday I saw a nice Coupe badged as above. Matt black with matt black wheels and hideous yellow calipers...why do they do it I asked myself, until searching I came across an Audi photo of one with red calipers, so maybe this is how they come? Any Audiphiles know?

Not sure about Audi's, but in Porsche-speak, where there's some tuning cross-over sometimes, you have 3 caliper colours:

Big Black - std
Big Red - usually an upgrade
Yellow - usually denotes carbon discs. Doubt it on an Audi though, but you never know.

Ode To The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
