This looks awesome to me!
50% of the ones I have seen have been red, rest is Suzuka which just doesn't pop for me and then sepang which is niiiice but....

I think imola will look hot too

If you have the cash and patience, how about this ABT red off their RS5-R

Looks great with optics
From what I understand, the ABT car is Granatrot red metallic, which audi offer as exclusive on the RS6 and a cheaper standard colour on other models. It's a lovely colour

Question, can Audi guarantee delivery with exclusive paint in the required time scale?

Ah, so how's that going to work? Can't see dealer wanting to be left with an Imola or Java car! Asking for extra deposit?

Think in terms of several months for exclusive; mine took 7 and it was an Audi colour.

Blimey, that's a long time
I'd have changed my mind at least half a dozen times in 7 months

I chose Nogaro more because I'm intending on keeping it for a long time,
but if I was like you Dave and was only going to keep it for the duration of the finance term and then give it back, i would have had it in either
Java green to be totally different or Samoa Orange but i also think Imola yellow would look the nuts, gotta have the black optics too.
Whatever you choose i think it'll look awesome.

Clearly you cannot read, no surprises though.

Not sure on java, reckon that would be a nightmare to sell on, looking forward to seeing yours, what spec you gone for ?

That seems optimistic even with standard paint. I reckon you'd be looking at June.

Could be but not that worried about when I get it, I just want it right.

Any news Dave on what you have decided?

Need a clear head
Keep going back and forth between Imola and Misano, and then thinking I'll get a boggo white one then think feck it get a sorted B7 then think don't get anything drive the £51k Jag then think get an R8 then back round to the start

All the while I have a V10 R8 Spyder sitting outside my house

For all you Noggy lovers I was in my stealers today and this was in the showroom

It's up for sale as a stock car but have no details on price other than it's got a good spec. They wouldn't do a deal on with me for a couple of months until the RS6 arrives. They also told me that they have got an S3 in Rivera Blue on order as well for stock and well as something in Java Green, not an RS4 I might add.
