RS6 C5 - 234,567 - milestone

Thought you might like to see this shot of my dashboard yesterday . I did make certain to stop to take it. (not like the muppet last week who got jailed for videoing his at 192mph!)

Done a few miles now and thanks to the team at UNIT20 in providing the servicing and care to keep my RS6 going. Original engine, turbos & gearbox. Its a great car, one day a Ferrari bashing supercar, next day full of junk for the tip as an estate which can also take 5 adults and the Jack Russels.

Onwards now to 250,000 miles.......

Awesome. :)

That's almost enough miles to drive to the moon.

I was more focused on the 20.1 MPG, clearly your not trying hard enough. :D

Well done on the mileage, good going.

Maybe there's a correlation...

He's already beat that -

"At its closest point (known as perigee) the Moon is only 225,622 miles away and at its most distant point (called apogee) the Moon is a distance of 252,088 miles"

The wheels are my summer set. Dymag 19" Carbon Fibre and they only weigh 8kg which is half the normal alloy.
Best performance upgrade I've fitted.

Does look like you can now get new ones here as they have started making them again. Mine have the magnesium centres

Looks good! That's an impressive weight saving, my uprated front discs are a couple of kilos lighter than stock and i felt the difference in the suspension feel straight away. I bet that made a huge difference!

I'm liking the no window tints, might remove mine at some point.

Were those Grizz's old wheels? Shame they cannot be bough anymorez. I do love those wheels, I had a chance to buy a set for £3200 back in '09, I kinda regret that.

Shop - They're not the same design any more and they don't look as good.
