Not many of us.

Post by Maximo » Fri Jun 03, 2011 11:33 am

I was suprised to find out that there are just over 950 RS6's on the roads in the UK. Although from the information I have the peak was only just under 1100. Saying that the C6 is an even rarer (is that even a word?) beast with 14 on the road in the year of it's launch and just over 370 now.

It's nice to be in an exclusive club, I can't say I've seen a single Avant on the road since I've had mine! :beerchug:

Where did that figure come from?
Daytona RS6 C5 Avant. Viper'd, Billies, Waggers, MTM box brain, C6 stoppers, xcarlink, R8 coolant cap (woohoo)
///M3 E46 | XC90 (V8, natch) | Passat GTE | RR Classic V8 flapper

I can't say where the figures come from but let's just say, each of those cars is Taxed, MOT'd and Insured. :thumbs:

It's all here folks. Being DVLA, there are a few errors.
This is a big xls file with all makes and models.

There is one maybe two C5's around me plus of course MO's Plus.

However, there are about 6 x C6 that I know of and most of them are Misano :-)

I have only ever seen 1 x B5 RS4 locally, but loads and loads and loads and loads of B7's
