Is the RS6 the car of choice of any celebrities?

JayKay for sure - also a few premier league footballers have had RS6s.

The ones that I know of besides Jay Kay:
Nick Mason (Pink Floyd)
That bird off Big Brother whose name I cant remember
One very well known property tycoon who occupies the same building as my office in London and parks it next to mine (he has an eclectic collection of other cars too)
Several of the footballers who live round our way have (or had) them but most of them seem to have moved onto Chrysler 300 Hemis (cool car!) and Cadillac Escalades (not quite so cool) and chrome 22" wheels now.
A load of the motor racing fraternity have them too.
And me (and a couple of people on here) of course!
I assumed that they all must get special deals with Audi through the VIP scheme but according to a mate of mine who works in Audi PR apparently its not the case - allegedly the RS6 was the only car they didnt give special discounts on...

James Nesbitt was in the Sunday Times Drivnig supplement one week purring about his 6.

That'll be Davina McCall then. Both Davina and James Nesbitt have raved about their RS6's in separate Sunday Times articles.

I believe Ross Brawn (not sure I've spelled that right) the Ferrari F1 supremo has an RS6 Avant and Jay Kay's RS6 Avant is a horrible purple colour- not likely to mistake that for anyone else if you see it on the road! I also think Perry McCarthy (Stig 1) had one for a bit, but that was probably a company car!

I see in this month's CAR that Nikolai Smolenski, the new owner of TVR has "an Audi RS estate" as his family car. His Murcielago is up for sale.

...and in this week's Autocar, in 20 Questions, Gwyndaf Evans says he would like in his £1m garage the following:
a red Ferrari, a fast 4x4 saloon like an Audi RS6 and a Focus RS for fun.
2003 RS6 Avant
Avus with silver leather
