well done mate sounds like a mission its in the best hands now

they have worked on the car before, i bet they have never seen it looking so good this time round!

when it comes back it will be mint! drive it properly

[dubbed_up_daz]

Still got all your receipts in the folder which ive been trying to keep up to date. It was manky by the time I got it down there as it rained all the way down and I was too shattered to wash it so it didnt look too great

[dubbed_up_daz]

Uneconomical lol

[sweegie]

Impressive! I got 400 miles out a tank once, but that was nursing it home with a dodgy thermostat... The first and only time I'll be overtaken by Peugeot 106's on the A9

[dubbed_up_daz]

An rs6 getting overtaken on gods highway??? The A9 is such a great road for a 6 running sweet though. 3 lorries and 20 cars sir? No problem sir, byeee... Not looking forward to the A.S. cameras though :'(

[Nobby]

Well done, although I'm sure we should be invoking the rules here.

And fill up your screenwash

Yeah, it was either my blood or my coolant that was going to boil, so turned the stereo up and chilled out to some relaxing classic fm! The return trip was an epic sub 20mpg

Some of those cameras are now in test mode too, so probably not long before they're active. Of course past Inverness, it's a different story, but it's not exactly unfortunate the only other route north is the A93 through Glenshee and up through the Lecht. That's a route and a half

[dubbed_up_daz]

Id came straight from the bodyshop which is why the washers were empty. If I go back up to Nigg I might consider a car with a smooth front end for the journey.....

Daz your RS is looking tip top. It looks like a show car. That paint . . . wow!!!
Shame about the seats not being up to the same standard. I hope you don't pay them anything for only doing a half decent job.

[dubbed_up_daz]

Cheers, and I won't be. It's still at unit 20 just now hence no updates. Kinda paranoid about the paint with it having to sit outside while the turbos get finished but im hoping it'll still be okay when I get her back.

[ahoooga]

update please Daz , Its been away for coming up 7 weeks now

[dubbed_up_daz]

Still waiting to get it back. The first pair of turbos that went for hybridisation had micro cracks on the hotside so were u/s and im now awaiting the second set to go returning. The milltek race downpipes were also out of stock and arrival date is expected this Friday. A health check also turned up weepy rocker gaskets and the noisy bearing thats been bugging me (it started round about change of tyres time) so nothing major. Im just hoping that the closer it gets to AITP that its going to be finished in time for a clean.

OEM wheels, have you gone mad?

[dubbed_up_daz]

I usually run OEM wheels, I am just now.... just not the 'correct' manufacturer. Probably going to put the sportecs and coils on it if thats okay lol. Its looking likely to be my sensible daily now
