Did you not see this???

sorry i was going to get them powder coated at a place called motorcool in thornaby,but after a long think its not worth the chew and cost .the calipers have a few chips on and the guy who is doing the datailing on the car is going to touch them up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

detailing ....just before you pull the spelling mistake

Nice car, a review of the car would be great!! Did you drive other RS6s before you bought this, compare?

p.s usually, people report back after 2 weeks of RS ownership with tales of woe.....

i owned an rs6 in 2005 so i new what they were about,i wanted something already done ie, engine ,brakes,etc so i dont have to fork out...the car wasn,t as described and i dont think the guy looked after it to be honest ...i think i should have bought the avant so i might be seeling this soon after ive minted it up

That car has been through allot to be fair to it including wiping out the right side into Adenau bridge, allbeit a few years ago. Its more a user than a show car. Still looks nice but the bonnets vents are a little disorganised bearing in mind the internal structure is removed.
Went in it when the NOs and CO2 was running..... Was LOL then! Remember following it out of Cochen going up to the ring and the owner lit up all 4 wheels...

Wasnt this car fire damaged some time back?

It had a small bonfire from a ruptured fuel NOs line.... They put plastic in FFS! It was still driven home so not major. Theres a clip on YouTube somewhere.

Yes thats right, had about 400 bottles of nitrous in the boot( artistic license)

Best bit of this car used to be opening up the boot to show it full of NOs bottles, scared the <beep> outta some bike guys at the ring who were all up for having a go before looking! Always remember that.
I thought about doing the same but the set up was silly expensive and not fitted that well IMO.

Id keep it OP as its unique and has allot of history. Il swap my one for it once the fronts been sprayed on mine.
