Washing her for the last time...good bye RS6

RS6 goes on a transporter to its new owner in the morning :?

Been a fantastic car, not without some lows, but much more highs.

Am sad to see it go, but my requirements have changed and my wife is buying a big car so I have the opportunity to change for something with better track credentials.

My trip to the Nurburgring nailed it for me. The car was absolutely awesome, especially in the wet. But too much of what you do as a driver is controlled by the car. Basically what you put in isn't necessarily what comes out.

I resolved to get a rwd car so I could continue to develop my driving/track skills.

So I have purchased a M3 CSL. Picking it up on Friday and driving from South to North Wales on A roads to get to know the car.

Thanks for being so helpful guys and I hope I helped some of you with your RS6 experience.

Will lurk around and pop up every now and again.

Best

Damon

Let me know how the CSL feels and what you miss. I am toying with getting the CSL after August for a year as a bit of fun after years of big saloons and estates.

You'll enjoy the CSL.

congrats Damon. I've done the same thing in purchasing a CSL - picked it up 2 weeks ago, and have loved every minute.

Is yours Black, or Silver grey?

Mine's filthy dirty at the minute, so no photos of my own yet, the ones the dealer took are here:

Is it running Cups? Doesn't look like it. They are amazing, cornering on rails.
