Oh, forgot the technical guru-meister .... Ferrari's Ross Brawn uses one for his daily commute!

If its good enough for him, good enough for me :notworthy:

Davina may have had one, but when she was on Top Gear said she had just bought a Range Rover.

Spoke to Mr Kay last summer at a Polo match, he said he had both, and loved them.

Harry, you're right, I don't understand Keane. I don't understand how such a low-life hooligan should deserve 50k a week :knob:

Footballers - stick to your Bentley's and gold taps.

I bet Roy Keane has one so he has the power to pull his caravan when the flat back transit is out of action!

Keane had (not sure if he still has it) a RS6 saloon.

Davina did have an RS6

Nick Mason had one of the "original RSs" (i.e. a 2) before the 4. He actually said he found the 4 a dissapointment after the 2.

I don't get it, Ross owned it 11 years a go, where's the value in that?! In fact, in that state, I can't see the value in that car even if Tyler Burden was the current owner.

...and don't get me started on the front badge.
No matter where you go, there you are.

If "the guy who owns this car is not short of a bob or two", then what a wanker who let's a lovely car like this decay in such a way. Then tries to sell it as something special.
