finally picked up the RS6 this afternoon and what a car. Only had a quick drive previously and after spending this afternoon in it its better than I remember.
It's the perfect all round car for me. I can fit everything in it that goes with a young family and a dog and still have the enjoyment of driving it. It drives around town and short journeys like a dream. But open up the taps and it's a total different beast.
I'm trying to refrain from stamping on the loud peddle to hard until it's run in. It's a battle of will power.

Sorry about the quality of the picture. I will try and get some better ones tomorrow. If I can stop driving it long enough to take some.

Looks fantastic, love the black alloys with Sepang (well actually I like black alloys with just about every colour).. However it does look like Sepang is the new Daytona Grey

Very nice, congratulations bamf.

Cheers lads. It is an awesome bit of kit.

I think your right about sepang being the new daytona. It looks like there will be a few more out on the road.

Big congrats, your second one correct?
Im also waiting for my second one!
Enjoy the beast!

Congrats Bamf, welcome to the Sepang club

Cheers Lewy it's a good club to be in.
Still no better pictures of the car to post yet.

Had a good drive out through North Wales in it today. What a machine. My only niggling doubt when I spec'd the car was if I'd made the right choice sticking with the air suspension. I put it through its paces today . In comfort mode it is just unreal how it provides such a smooth ride and can still control the considerable weight of the car through twisty B roads. And when in dynamic mode it really firms the ride up and controls the body roll well.

The car I test drove was on steel springs and I agree that option coupled with the ceramics makes the car feel sharper especially when being driven at the limit on a track. But as my daily driver I'm now glad I spec'd the air suspension as it gives me an excellent all round package . Plus it's handy being able to raise the car to help with ground clearance when needed. (The lane to my mums house is like a stage of rally GB).

Anyway the car is awesome. I feel guilty when someone Comes over to the car and admires it and pays compliment as most who do haven't experienced the shear fun and thrill of driving it.

Finally got some better pictures of the car.

Looks , what are the gloss black mirror caps like quality wise?

I always figured if I ordered the black pack, I'd still buy carbon mirrors but they look alright there.

That looks epic

That looks brilliant. Congratulations.

Simply stunning! That is a perfect colour combo!

They're pretty good quality. I had the same thought but they look good.

You copycat

Welcome to the Sepang club, must be up to six or seven of us on here now.

I like the way all of the cars have different specs. Just proves we all see things differently

P.S. Black mirror housings are good quality, washed the car 4 times now and they come up well, no swirls.

The sepang club has a nice ring to it

Its definitely the popular colour for 2015.
