I have never been beside him on a dual carriageway but have been behind him twice on backroads. The first time we were doing 60, I was a bit nervous but dropped into S and floored it, was around him with ease and don't think he reacted in time.
It was great fun but when I told me wife the reg P1EXE she said he lived around the corner and sure enough I saw him on the school run next day LOL

How did you get to your RS6?
Great thread.
I started my 4-wheel action slightly later than most with my 20's being dominated by motorbikes. I also still have all of these cars (being too soft hearted to sell any). Having the Megane and Dacia in the list really lowers the average bhp!
1) Ferrari 550 '00 (always wanted one)
2) Megane coupe '96 (main virtue was cheap and kept abroad)
3) Mitsi Evo 8 MR '04 (which then got modded to 500bhp - trackday car)
4) Dacia Estate '07 (see 2) but was able to deal with expanding family)
5) Audi RS6 Plus '04 (see 4) but used everyday)

7) Renault Laguna 2.0d
Next) Audi A3 1.8T Sport (Start of the addiction
)
9) Lotus Esprit SE Turbo in BRG (Childhood dream but being 6ft + only just fitted)
10) Classic Mini Cooper (One of the last ones and that was a jump in performance!)
11) Renault Espace (For Work)
12) Audi S8 (Fantastic car)
13) BMW E46 M3 SMG (Pheonix Yellow which looked fab in the sun but like snot otherwise)

Wish I could remember....its been in storage for the last 12 months. The main difference is set-up and handling - the delivery of power - big V12 which will happily trundle along at 30mph in 4th - is not disimilar to the torque wave of the RS - and both are consumate big-distance cars - but of course the 550 feels a lot more special to be in, especially because it is missing two noisy kids in the back (a key reason for starting to use it againBigMo wrote:quite a collection. How you figure between the Rari and the 6?
