My ride for the weekend

Although the RS4 is fantastic in so many ways, I have always been underwhelmed with the power / speed. Hopefully the 6 will address this, at present I haven't had the time / opportunity to open the 6 up yet but you sure can feel those twin turbos ready to explode
I plan to stretch its legs on Sunday

if I get chance I will let you know my view.

You're gonna need a bigger garage as that doesn't look like it's going in there

I loved the rs6 loan car I had a couple of times, but it was just too big for my life
Does that demo have the sports exhaust ?

It should fit in the new garage though

(when the solicitors get around to doing what I'm paying them for)
It does have the sports exhaust which sounds great banging / popping away. With regard to the size it was a bit intimidating at first but within a few miles it soon shrank around me. I'm on "ferrying the kids around" duties today which includes a trip to a multi storey so that could be interesting

That was my main issue. I was so close to pressing the button, but my day to day life includes working on my laptop in Costa, going to mountainbike centers or taking wife/kids to town multi storey car parks, and it just didn't fit in the spaces. Or it did, and I then had to be a contortionist to get out or would be nervous it'd be Doored by the person in the next space
Rs4 is the perfect size for my life, but rs6 is perfect engine

Oh wow. Is that Mug blue with the Alu pack? That is purposefully menacing. I love it.

Awesome
So much more a proper RS than a N/A B7 or B8 IMO.
My next car after my C6....once they drop into my price range.
Congrats

What constitutes a "proper RS"?

Yeah that too. All adds up to a proper RS.
