Anyone driven past another RS6 C6? (ex garage forecourts)

Post by alphamail » Tue Apr 13, 2010 8:49 am

.


I went past a gun metal RS6 Avant yesterday and I know it is totally uncool to wave or flash, the other driver held the same view, so we were ships in the day.

I suppose exclusivity is part of the illusion, I mean package, so I had mixed emotions of sad feck excitement and the stark reality that I'm not the onlly RS C6 in the village.

Anyone else had an encounter?

Maybe we could create an RS246 greeting sign like the Vulcans in Star Trek.

Likewise... the nod T, not the coolness :wink: :lol:

I also ride bikes (not as much now I have the C6) but it's a given to acknowledge your fellows :thumbs:

I've always put it down to a London thing. Like avoiding eye contact on the tube and not saying hello to strangers in the street, it seems no-one ever waves, flashes or returns smiles in this <beep>-hole of a city.

Whether that's because flash cars are more common down here and you'd never stop waving or as you suggest, no-one likes being reminded that they aren't the only one with a bit of cash, I don't know.

You said gun metal RS6 Avant.
It wasn't me, was it?

Gav, if it was you,
1 Why didn't you wave?
2. Why didn't you pop in for a beer?
3. Who was that 20 year old babe in the passenger seat?

The last twenty year old I got in my car was a bottle of whisky.

Difficult to shake an ankle at a fellow RS6 driver, especially when it's planted to the floor.

I'll be the one nodding, or even saluting.

At least a thumbs up.
