Still got it

Post by marv8 » Sun Oct 16, 2011 4:51 pm

I know the colour is not as interesting as Sid's and she is not as pristine as Amar's (yet) but just been out for a spin and really do not think there is a 7+ year old car out there that wears its age so well or still carries the same presence as a C5 RS.......

Crappy iphone pic but still spot on in my opinion

So true, think anyone can spot an rs6 in a car park but no one on the forum can spot me when I am driving.. Been checking the spotters forum for the past year and still no one has seen me!! I am always on the m20/m26/m25/m3 so was sure someone must have seen me - perhaps I drive a little too quickly! Think I may start posting my work diary on here so people can keep an eye out!

How often you in Kent Ringo?

I'm always in 2 minds whether to park in 2 spaces and risk someone keying it, or leave it in a single space and hope no one dings the door. What usually happens is that I just take a different car instead if there are likely to be carparks involved :(

My wife's cousin freely admitted to me that she cheerfully opens her doors onto the cars parked next to her. I could have throttled her.

My mrs cant understand why I've got it ad she says "you never use it" which is true never really let kids in it unless I really have to and certainly never tale it when we go shopping, just use hers instead :wink:
