RS6 in France?

[Pattex]

Last Wednesday (maybe Tuesday, don't remember very well actually) I saw a gray RS6 on the motorway between Calais and Dunkerque, France.

Know for sure it had British reg.

Very nice car, although it was on the other side of the road and only saw a glimpse of it.

Was the first time I saw one for real. I Want one...

Maybe someone from this forum?

As a lorrydriver, I come to Britain often, and I wonder how so many people seem to manage having such cars in a country where everything costs almost 50% more than in Belgium.
I don't believe you will find 5 RS6's in Belgium.
RS4 ditto. Only S3 seems to be known...by me.

I hope to have an excuse to drive mine over to Antwerp sometime soon!

Wasn't me...but I have driven through France/Belgium/Netherlands in mine, and I'm off to the continent again in July!

As to affordability in the UK, we have enjoyed a pretty strong economy for some years now and I think for instance the area inside the M25 is the richest in the whole of the EU. But people also seem willing to spend more than is strictly necessary on cars here. My (Dutch) wife reckons British people are a lot more bling with their cars than they are in Holland where people would typically choose something more mundane and practical.

Taking mine to the Alps end of June! Can't wait...
