New RS6 owner

[Tarnok]

After owning a 2001 C5 S6 - and selling it before relocating to the UAE where I am currently based, I have always had an attraction to Audi's performance line of sedans (and of course the R8). With a new addition to the family in the form of a baby girl, it quickly became apparent that my SL55 AMG and BMW 650i were not the perfect family cars and would not easily fit a baby seat.

After scouring the classifieds for some time, primarily looking at BMW M5 and Mercedes e55/63s, I stumbled across a for sale ad for a close to mint condition 2004 C5 RS6 ABT, which I have since come to know was owned by a gentleman who was active on this forum. The car is in absolutely perfect condition and has had all of the required maintenance as well as all of the big ticket items such as TC, Sensors, timing belt, coil over suspension, Milltek Non-res and RNS-E done already. When I picked up the car yesterday, it was clearly a difficult sell for the previous owner - something I can fully appreciate as it is obvious he has poured a lot of love (and cash) into making the car perfect. The car has however gone to a good home where it will be babied as it has been so far in its life. It currently has 147KM on the clock but feels as close to brand new as a 2004 car can. I look forward to participating on this forum and learning about this amazing car from other experienced owners.

FON.

So who's car was it? Any idea on the ABT goodies?

[Tarnok]

I believe his nick on here is Mik15. Great guy. It is supposed to have an ABT kit installed from the factory which I understand includes a chip to 507hp and an exhaust system which has since been changed to Milltek. I have tried to find some more info on it but have not been able to apart from a post on rs6.com making reference to it

Ahhhh, Mik15, yes, he's apparently spent a bomb on it. What's he moved on to?

[Tarnok]

Oh, and not to forget, thanks for the welcomes.

I don't go on there, it's a ghost town.
