Nice car

I had actually agreed to buy that very car last year, pending inspection - only for the seller to change his mind at the very last possible second and sell it to a trade for less than what we had agreed pending inspection.

Allegedly it has around 530bhp and an MTM gearbox remap.

Welcome!

Car looks good. :thumbs: Best colour, too.

Couple of things hurting my eyes: Needs new RS6 badges and proper aero wiper arms and wipers. Maybe a stubby aerial.

/edit: Oh and I would get rid of the black rings. Hate black rings.

Why'd he do that?

More than likely - I was coming from Glasgow to Sheffield on the train, I think he may have been p/x'ing it for a Range Rover with the trader.

As far as I recall, it seemed a decent enough car on spec. I think I recall speaking to one of the previous owners on here about its history.
Il see if I can dig out the conversation. Very informative guy :thumbs:

Hi guys thanks for the welcome and info!! The car was Mikeyrs6 on here!! Spoke to him on the phone and he confirmed all the work carried out and the money he'd put into it :shock: The car runs great and is very very quick :shock: so your 530bhp could be true but he told me it was 575bhp when he had it dyno tested! as the engine was blueprinted and rebuilt and mapped and a full miltec exhaust straight through!! Cheers Gary
