My C5 is like Prozac

Post by Condor24 » Wed Sep 03, 2014 9:32 pm

My RS6 is just shy of 60,000 miles from new. Standard specification.

I'm fortunate to drive a variety of cars, so the RS6 gets little use. This morning's drive along French country roads was sensational .. The sheer drivability, power and sound emanating from this estate car is awesome.

Driving a C5 RS6 is like a shot of Prozac when one may be feeling 'under the weather'.

Totes agree. I'm always really struck on the unique driving experience even after getting out of much more modern and up to date machinery. It's still an event to drive.

There's much love in the room. :kissmyrings:

It's very refreshing and a pleasure to read something positive on here for a change.
I keep falling in and out of love with mine.
Picking it up from the wheel refurbers tmw morning so she'll look nice and tasty again. :jump_clap:

Most people 'of a generation' with some memory, might think this was a C5

Not even. Young family, being driven by a 8 or 9 year old, MILF in tow.

Rule 1. Less of the C5, more of the MILF.
