Gratuitous Friday Car Pics

[zappy-chops]

Had the afternoon off so got this lot out of the garage:


And here's what happened. One clean and shiny RS6. Gotta love a clean motor.








When I first changed over to these 20" wheels running winter tyres (and spacers) I really wasn't keen on the look and kept wanting to put the 21" Performance wheels back on, but now I really like them. I think they suit the car pretty well. Would look ever better lowered.

Yes those 20s are great. Look amazing when dark, spaced and lowered.

Beautiful house!!

From what I can see I agree. Cracking looking car too. It takes long enough cleaning my B7, never mind a C7

Cheers

Move to Scotland mate. Everyone get's one of these, and they only cost a tenner. Anyway, sod the house - the garage is where it's at. Previous owner built it for his Ford Model T collection. He had around 15 cars in there. Sold them all through Bonhams when he sold the house to us. He kept 1, which he said was the oldest surviving model T in Europe. Behind the garage is also a workshop where he had heavy machinery for manufacturing parts for the cars. Now the garage is full of family junk rather than cars, but I'm working on that. He had the garage set up as a museum basically, and it was rammed with the most amazing automobilia (original old metal signs, vintage lights - all that sort of thing). I still remember the disappointment the first time I walked into the garage after buying the house. I stood at the door desperately hoping he hadn't bothered to remove the signs, lights etc (that were over the walls and ceiling - literally everywhere), but of course he had. Must have cost an fortune to build an original automobilia collection like that.

Epic car, house and garage (by the sounds of it).

I call pics of the "museum" pleeeaaase.

Not a museum anymore. That was the previous owner. Now it has a couple of cars, but is generally full of <beep> - a million boxes (just in case something has to go back), old bikes that are way too small for the kids, broken trampolines, Christmas trees, manky old paint tins, paddling pools with slow punctures, baby toys the wife won't get rid of,.........

I've been busy in Devon too but can't figure out how to get the images off my phone and onto this post

Similar, but not technically anthracite. They are a standard audi grey colour (can't remember the specific name). It's the same grey that's the main colour in the Performance wheels that came with the car.

Forgot to add it's the matte version of that Audi grey.
