Aberdeen - RS City!

Post by Cabar Feidh » Thu Apr 10, 2014 4:36 pm

Seems to be an abundance of new RS4 and RS5s in Aberdeen at the moment - didnt see any for ages but in the last few weeks have seen loads, some older ones as well.

Yesterday lunchtime - Black B8 RS4 with an 06 Mugello B7 RS saloon (mines identical but an 07) parked next to it in W******fords in Altens, Red RS5 Hareness road 5 mins later.

Last few weeks - at least 4 or 5 different Sepang B8 RS4, 2 red B8 RS4, 2 white B8 RS4, 1 black B8 RS4 although could be same one as yesterday. 2 Sepang RS5, 1 red RS5, 1 white RS5, also I think I saw a black one as well but not sure. Guy from work also just ordered a Sepang RS4 for last build slot in May. Black B7 RS4 saloon, Altens a couple of times recently.

If I can find myself another job that doesnt have same company car issues (see my other current topic) I may have to order one myself!

Yeah I've noticed that myself, if I go pick up my kid from school then drive home again in that period of time I would on average see atleast 6 , just RS models, I'm now seeing a lot of RS6 too.. Other day driving along queens rd was new rs4 and following right behind was RS6, it totally enhanced the arches on the 6..

mikers4 - nope didnt have a private plate, standard 07 plate thay ended in Z. I did spot another black B7 RS4 saloon on Friday parked at the Scania place in Blackness Road - it had a private plate but unless your real name is George it wouldnt have been yours either! A mate of mine works there and says the owner also works there - he doesnt take it in very often though he said. I think I have seen another one in Altens a while back with a different private plate - 3 letter, 4 number combo if I recall?

Also on Friday - white A4 2.0 TDi - same number plate as my old mate who had a Sepang B8 RS4. Spotted him at a nearby burger van - "where's the RS?" I asked - "put it back before I killed masel or lost my licence!" he replied.

B&Q today - Sepang B8 RS4
Malcolm Road yesterday - another red RS5
Westhill yesterday - Daytona RS3

I'm rarely down that part - work up in top of Altens and come in from Cove side.

More spots yesterday:

Peterculter - Sepang RS5 just after a Maserati soft top, what a noise, the Maserati that is! He gave it a wee bit wellie to overtake a cyclist in the middle of the village - nice!!
Bridge of Dee - about 2pm, Daytona RS5.
Beach Boulevard - just after 2pm, B7 RS4 Avant in Mugello with black optics. Sounded quite tame though!
Bridge of Dee - about 5pm, B8 RS4 in Sepang, black optics and debadged with I think black rings on front. Wow, had to do a double take on that one - looked mean as f(){k!! Pity it didn't have rotors as they would have finished it off nicely.

Today - B8 RS4 in Red with expensive private plate 8 xxx, Peterculter.

Can't say I've noticed an increase in spotted B7 RS4s, but there are certainly more B8 RS4s/RS5s, C7 RS6s and R8s than I remember going about.
