Time to bow out of the C5 fold

Hi All,
After a decade of ownership, my C5 has gone to pastures new. Has been an epic if costly journey, but worth every moment.
It is off to a new home today and was a little sad to see it purrrr off into the distance.
To replace it, we have a pair of Teslas which I know is sacrilege on this forum, but works for me right now.
I have a feeling I will be back in the guise of a C7 or similar soon enough.
Thanks to all of those over the years who have helped me out, you know who you are.
El Ringo.

I'm not sure, he has only had a few days. It is a LWB model, that I do know.

Good luck! The Tesla is one of the few machines I'd consider moving on to - enjoy!
Hoping you have Insane or Ludicrous on one of them!

Don't worry
Shop - I'm not going anywhere yet!!
Most of the Tesla's with a half decent spec are well north of £50K as a re the C7 RS6's.
My bank balance is well south of there!!

Good luck in the new venture el_ringo sting. A decade in a C5 is good going, but I like the look of the Tesla too.
