Got and S6 once as a curtiousy car

Post by johneroberts » Wed Jan 15, 2003 7:07 pm

Took the car in for a service a while back, and was given one for the day as a curtiousy car, didnt have the power , but it was a very relaxed and had an aire of refinement.

Totally agree John,

hasn't got the urgency of RS cars.. but quick and refined.. Now I have the RS I can see that the S6 it a powerful, smooth and quick car....but not quite aimed at RS drivers

I’m reading this trying to think of the film with Sean Bean in it where they request “something fast…like an S6” and there is great footage of an S6 being flogged and broadsided through the streets of Paris. [img]images/graemlins/clap.gif[/img]

Anyone remember the film?

And John, its courtesy………….get a frikkin’ dictionary for f**ks sake!!

Great film, and it was an S8 with modified injectors and ECU I recall [img]images/graemlins/1syellow1.gif[/img]

Yes some great pursuits indeed.
But the car that the S8 was hopelessly trying to kick out of the road above the French Riviera was a Peugeot 605.

Do I have a disconnect somewhere ? [img]images/graemlins/3flypigs.gif[/img]

Here's the English Trailer
You'll see the S8 (for like a second or two) among tons of other cars.
