Dipping out for a bit

Post by Silverfox42 » Sat Feb 12, 2022 11:21 pm

Moved on a Merc C63s convertible as its the only 4 seat performance cab 'upgrade' I fancy at the moment. The RS5 doesn't do it for me and never owned a Benz.
So far, its immense. Totally different to the RS4, but the drama level is higher and IMO more aggressive than the '5.

I am sure I will be back though!!

For now...

P.S. My RS4 is for sale here

And less than a year later, I am back into the RS fold...
RS6 C7 PE just arrived.
Bit of DRC pipe work sorted and she's on the drive.

First impressions: refined, spacious and FAST.

My daily is 400HP Polestar 2, but liner power with no drama. The '6 is an event!!

You are right, allegedly there was a Fast Charger at one of the motorway services charging 85p per KWn which was the equivalent of filling up a 1.6 Audi A3!!
