Hi
Is there anyone in the west midlands (closer to Rugby the better) that would be able to take me for a drive in their C5 RS6. I am currently in the market for one but have never ridden or been on one so would like to make sure it is the correct choice for me. (yes i know financially it is a mistake).

cheers
Dave

Think there are a couple of Lads Lem Spa area. Big thing is though, some may have Drc, some may have h&r coil overs and others bilstein coil overs. Some may have upgraded arbs. Best thing imo is go look at cars, see how they feel and if you think there may be any issues then post up what the test car was on and then put the feelers out.
Just my opinion though.
Good luck with the search. Have you got your eye on any cars?

cheers. heading over to Lem later actually, if i see anyone i will wave the, down in a team america style.
Had my eye on one up near black pool. was for sale on a website called "powerplay uk". i found out the history on that though, it had gearbox upgrade and new turbos etx, but then someone said that the car was sold originally because it started to smoke. Apparently the garage said that it was fine though. Anyway its still on my radar as price is steadily coming down.

Ref the one in Blackpool, if you're really keen on it and the seller has nothing to hide, ask if it can be sent to Unit20 for an inspection. They aren't too far away and will give it the thumbs up or thumbs down.

The topic on the powerplay one makes me chuckle.
