Thanks Steve, paintwork came out perfect, I am delighted with the final result. In Ireland these cars literally do not exist, I took it to different car meets here and all ppl said the same thing "I've never seen one before". This is why at first glance they think its an AliExpress beefed up A6 :o The car is out only at weekends and special occasions - all weather permitting so, it makes it even more unique experience each time. True head turner in it's currently shape :D


It's great to see another one of these in Ireland and you seem to be taking good care of it too! :kissmyrings:

Anything bigger than a 2L and people get excited/confused. Anything bigger than a 3L and most insurance companies won't touch it!

Correct, Ireland is a difficult place to own a nice car. On top of 2k road tax, RS6 is impossible to insure but once over 20yo, no bother - classic insurance for peanuts :o

Yeah, I am an Audi man, the C5 RS6 was always my dream car! Will be well look after :kissmyrings:

Yeah, I was thinking of bam's itching teeth, but I was too diplomatic to put the knife in. Nice job subbing for bam_bam. :)
Thanks, only getting used to banter here :beerchug:
