Some of you may not have seen this, so I thought it worth posting. Clarkson picks the RS 6 over the Benzo, BMW and Jaguar. It got a damn good review, I also remember the C5 RS 6 plus getting a 5 star rating from Evo. There was such a buzz when this car came out, I was in school - and remember it. Enjoy...

That has been cut. It was Nick Mason from Pink floyd he spoke to for directions.Shoppinit wrote:Has that been shortened? In the original didn't he stop and ask directions from Keith Moon?

Re: C5 RS 6 Top Gear Review vs E55, M5, S Type R
Dunno, think all that was filmed right by Nick Masons house. He used to lend Top Gear his cars for testing/filming, pretty sure he owned an RS6 aswell.

The car looks a bit high at the back. Surely the DRC couldn't have been broken already.

Yeah, it did 1:33 (very wet). That's right, there is a longer episode, it won't be too hard to find, I didn't realise I'd linked to the shorter one.
Mav, find them other episodes please!
