Very nice!

So the plan is the CAB is a daily driver for you. DB6 for the odd splurge on a nice day and she gets a 1.9TDI A4?

The 6 was my first and still is only car. I don't really need one and when I do I like to enjoy driving, it's great fun if not totally impractical.

The RS4 is very much my wife's run around albeit it will also be the family car for going to the shops etc..

Again totally impractical but hey, you have to enjoy life.

I don't think she quite gets how fast the RS4 is.

Anyway she loves driving it other than wishing it was an automatic!
Maybe she should exercise her right foot a little... :bigblink:

Mugello Blue - great colour & IMOA one of the best for the Cab. What colour inside?

Light grey. She wanted light cream but I am fairly certain it was black or light grey only on the RS4 Cabs?

I'm not sure if using a DB6 daily is scandalous or commendable lol!

Great to see it used as intended tho :nodder:

You probably have the best combination - looks superb.

Apart from Audi exclusive, it was either Black or Silver (light grey...) with the Recaro Sports seats.

This has got to sound very strange - despite your user name - are your initials CE? There cannot be many people who had a DB6 as their first car - and still have it today.

Will get a photo done one day, car is currently with AM having some work done so need to get it back.

Initials aren't CE, I should point out that I didn't have the car from new as the car is a good few years older than me so that would have been tricky!
