Finally ! A new RS6 Owner !

[bbigman2000]

After weeks of trying to find the right car, I finally picked up my Mugello Blue saloon with 30,000 miles in Surrey Yesterday.
The Car has had the entire suspension and valve replaced, it has the drilled discs all round, all brand new, and it has every option !!
its on and 03 plate and was sold new from northampton audi.
Very very pleased with it and gave it a good 580 mile run yesterday, fuel consumption I felt was good costing only £150 to travel 580 miles and that was using V-max only.
One fault, the passenger side indicator doesnt work, but I have an extended warranty so next week it will be booked in for that.
Its getting a full detail tmrw by extreme valet, so Il get some pics up asap.
If anyone is looking for an Rs6, feel free to give me an email or PM as I have been round the country driving these cars, and I have discovered a lot about them.
regards Glen

[bbigman2000]

heh, hopefully they will be cheaper by then, but I wouldnt hold your breath ! I think they have done all there depreciating now.

[Phantom_A4]

Nice to see the RS club is growing and a nice number of 6's!!!

Another 10 years for me to hit the 30's and i damn well hope these have depreciated a wee bit more lol :P

[bbigman2000]

lol, I wouldnt bank on it mate !! I think the rs6 will hold value very wel now.

[Just Plain Old]

Arhhhh............ So this is where the 'mutual admiration' society hang out!!

[bbigman2000]

lmfao, how are ya mate

All good hear, the guys are looking after me, now if you dont mind, scuttle off back to the sub 400bhp page PMSL

[Prince Ace]

Sorry chaps .. I seemed to have missed this 'critical' thread. Just got back from a nice relaxing (sometimes spine chilling) drive around some of our quieter roads :-) .. All safe and legal ofcourse !!! ...

Now can I say, someone told me today that Avants were 10 times more popular (maybe a pop at my saloon, marred with part envy?) and I wanted to say well they are 10 times more available perhaps ... but popular I'm not sure ... as I personally can't stand them ... I've never been a hearse ..oops .. estate man myself (sorry estate lovers I mean no disrespect, just my opinion).

So indeed, Saloon for me ... any day of the week. Now as regards age ... I feel old with two little monsters (boys) in my life that keep their father busy with their mother of course ! Age .... 33 and counting only in one direction ! and thats upwards..

Tonight I created this little video which captured a part of the Audi RS6 that you are all familiar with but I'm too shy to post. Maybe I'll email it to one of you lot for a preview and to get an opinion.
Or if you guys promise not to take the 'piss', I might post it here ...

[marmite]

you got to post it now mate!!!

[bbigman2000]

ah man, thats not fair I need to see it, anything RS6 saloon related I want to view it bud !!

Info@moraysecurity.com

[Prince Ace]

Chaps,

I couldn't post it here so I quickly knocked up a webpage on one of my redundant domains so it could be viewed.

It's nothing special ... just something I've been trying to explain to my mates (something that you are guys are well aware of) and capture it in some way. I thought this may do the job .. esp those that think my description is tinted with a tad bit of exaggeration (this is for them!)


Better to right click on the short clip (Where it says Video) and save it to your hard drive before viewing it as on some laptops it may jump as it buffers).

There is a small gallery too.

As you'll see I'm no David Bailey or Steven Spielberg for that matter ... just trying to capture a moment ;-)

Let me know what you think

And REMEMBER to have your volume HIGH !

[bbigman2000]

heh heh awesome mate, superb

Love the pics aswell super heres mine

[Prince Ace]

Thats a beautiful car !! I'm loving the colour ....

[bbigman2000]

Thanks Prince appreciated.

[Prince Ace]

I've posted another video (same site), one of a 0-60 test that wife and I carried out on a safe track. Do take a look if you get the chance. Getting mid 4's I think (depending on reaction time).



Let me know what you think.

[bbigman2000]

heh heh awesome mate love it.

[Just Plain Old]

lmfao, how are ya mate

All good hear, the guys are looking after me, now if you dont mind, scuttle off back to the sub 400bhp page PMSL

Well you guessed right......... I'm down 15 BHP at 395 according to the RR day at the weekend!!

Nate and Marmite were within a couple of each other.

[bbigman2000]

lmfao, still awesome mate, change the oil and you'll get your 15bhp back !!

What did nate and marmite''s cars make ?

[marmite]

I was 455.7 and Nat was 452 !!!
I took the trophy home with me this time.

[Just Plain Old]

THeres your answer BB

OK, dumb question time...........What difference does the oil make?? Or are you winding me up???

[bbigman2000]

new oil mate, less friction.

[fasteddie]

Just thought I'd check this part of the Forum out as my mate has just bought himself an RS6 and I have pointed him in this direction. He should fit in nicely as he has a Saloon too. He hasn't quite got it in his hands yet but it will be soon and I am sure he'll be on the site shortly, no pressuring him in to an AMD remap etc I'm sure 455 BHP is quite enough,

[bbigman2000]

heh heh yeh excellent he will be right at home here !!

Id give him 6 weeks before he starts researching the remap !!

[DIPS_A4]

fantastic lookin rs6 guys. pure power!

[marmite]

Id give him 6 weeks before he starts researching the remap !!

TOO TRUE!!!
Get used to the power far too quickly..!!
Nice thing is I have been driving my Mini about and my Wifes car so the RS feels good again!
Driving the mini has made me relise how lucky I am to own the RS (sounds really bad I know) but I miss all the toys, comfort and POWER when not driving the beast!!! BUT The mini just makes you smile and smile and smile and relise what the road feels like!!!!!!

Be good to have another RS6 owner, need an Avant on here soon...When I worked for Audi all we saw was Avants never a saloon.

[bbigman2000]

thanks dipsA4

I know what your sayin marmite, ive been running mine for 2 days now, but tonight im off to visit some of the clubs I run and I cant risk leaving it outside so im goin to have to take the mondeo gutted

[marmite]

Thats better...! half a tank and a smile on my face!!
