Dunc. Your rs6 is up for sale.
Fancy a reunion?
I couldn't own it again after someone else has had it Steve.
Dunc.... aka 'Ross"
Red RS6 .....aka 'Rachael'

'Ross' just keep telling yourself... 'We were on a break!' :biggrin3:

And everyone always wanted Ross and Rachael to get back together :redrs4: :kissmyrings:

Yes Nick made a huge difference to the appearance. I had spent time going over the caliper to correct any small imperfections and the decal made the final difference. Had not actually noticed how much it had faded until I replaced it.

Help much appreciated in making it look more back to how she should!!

Must get round to fitting the carbon intakes...... Just not enough time so far!!!

So... this may well be the last little job I do on the old girl...

Control unit from the old Parrot phone system had left a scratch on the dash vent trim (and a bit of glue), which really bugged me.

Bought a replacement years ago, but never got around to fitting it until today.
Had to spend a few hours tearing my garage apart to try and find where I'd hidden it, first, but at least the garage got a long overdue tidy as a byproduct!!

Anyhow, much better now, IMO.
Finally complete (minus the carbon air intakes, of course!)

Hope the next owner cherishes it also.

Much better.

How come you’re selling? Thought you were a lifer.

Yeah, me too Ben. Several 'personal circumstances' changes. The R8 will be the really tricky one, though, as so niche.
The 6 is going on SOR, so I guess there's a chance it may stay a bit longer. I'll obviously never be able to find another like it again, though!
