Amazing cars! Congrats. As a fairly new owner myself, always interested to know what sort of work has been done on it already and what mileage it is on etc?

C5 RS6+ No 315 in Metallic Silver (gone but never to be forgotten)
S8 V10 awesome engine but taxi-like gearbox - had to get back to RS motoring

Ha ha, fair do's I'll get a photo up asap . It's a little high on the milage at 140k . But that being said I have over 25k worth of invoices from unit 20 and audi for service work and gearbox work . It's an 04 plate silver leather with carbon trims . Fairly standard apart from Bilsteins, Hotchkis arb's and the shiny new non resonated Miltek that was fitted yesterday. Cheers Al

Like you hate it, not like you are moderately indifferent to it.
