No i didnt buy the black one got the one in the advert on first post.And yes it was quick ive had a few fast cars tbh noble m12 tvr tuscan, and i still own a 600bhp cosworth which tbh is a raw machine compared and lights up all 4 if u plant it lol, so yes the audi is pretty nippy loved the ride liked the power love the alcantara etc still would prefer flappy paddles instead of the buttons on the wheel tho.Is it possible to get a flappy paddle wheel for the car?

Dam you LOL :lol:

I think I was 2nd in line for this car and had I put my offer in last Friday I may well have got it.

Looks like a good one. I was gutted for about an hour and now have an eye on another one :wink:

PS if you decide to change your mind I'll pay your deposit LOL!

Hi, sitting down with a very large drink as ive just found out my gearbox is cream crackered. Had the brakes done, major service an N75 replaced and intercoolers. I thought the car was quick enough ( I have owned a cerbera, corvette and a modified 300zx TT). it turns out the gearbox was only coping because the engine was down on boost . As soon as Grizz got the engine running properly, the box gave up the ghost- Doh!
THE UPSIDE - I cant wait to get the car back, as I thought it was quick as it was !! I still love it and hopefully (??!!) most of the big bills are behind me (for now at least-its had the drc replaced with coilovers)

Not polite to say, plus if the wife finds out she'll seperate me from my wotstits! I may have bought a lemon but there you go. Hopefully (??!) she'll be fighting fit now.

You didn't hang about did you Nige?? There's been some RS6's knocking about for ages in the classifieds and that one came and went in no time! Had my eye on it myself actually. Nice work mate.

Are there any other you have been to look at? any comments? PM me if you have been to see some and let me know the score if you don't mind - could save me some time. I have a few lined up for Saturday actually so fingers crossed I too may become an RS6 owner soon.
