Hey from Oz

Post by njp » Sat Mar 03, 2012 10:29 am

Hey, just joined after picking up a 2011 i owner RS5 in Daytona Grey, awesome car, particularly coming from a VW R36 Sedan.

No modding plans to speak of yet, minister for war and finance has banned me for a while, and as they say, happy wife happy life

Took a little longer than hoped, but been busy as hell since picking the car up and this weekend was the first real opportunity I've had to take a few quick happy snaps.

Suffice to say, this is the best car I've ever owned, and it makes my 100km daily commute a great time of the day. Now if only all those other cars would stay at home and give me the roads to myself..... :wink:

Like the way you colour coded the drive AND gates for additional stealth :sekret:

Bit OTT but good work.

lol house is new as well.... not colour coded either lol

funny getting comments on a house on a car forum, lol

I also had the opportunity to be a passenger in a few hot laps of a track here in Sydney recently, wow is all I can say, they were pushing the car to about 60-70% dancing two cars around the track, if I could ever drive my RS5 at 60% of what they were doing I'd be having the time of my life.
