New Plus Owner

Post by magpie21 » Thu May 06, 2010 10:40 pm

Well I took the plunge and bought myself an RS6+. I wasn't planning buying one so soon but saw this one and had to have it!!!

I've owned a string of quick cars but I still can't grasp just how quick this thing is in a straight line, and with so little drama. I'm amazed at the levels of grip it offers and I'm finding the sensation of speed really deceptive, I've looked down at the clocks now on more than one occasion and could have sworn I was going at least 20mph slower. I think this is the quickest I've ever fallen in love with a car!!

Anyway, before you ask.....pictures.......

Oh and seeing as we're all petrol heads on here, a pic of it's stablemate.....

This car looks familiar? Does it have natural leather?

Yes it does, how can it look familiar though? There are no additions that are out of the ordinary and surely one looks pretty much like another?

There are very few plus models out there, and very few that look that good.

Well done DK..... You get a prize..... I was just waiting to hear if it had natural leather, and you responded faster.

You have a fantastic car there, enjoy....

Very nice, well done. It looks a little high from the side or maybe I've just got used to the coilies on my Plus which are perhaps a little too low! All Plus's had the option of 10mm lower setting from new with (DRC of course)............Enjoy.

Looks good :thumbs: I would put a legal tint on the front windows to balance the effect though.
Daytona RS6 C5 Avant. Viper'd, Billies, Waggers, MTM box brain, C6 stoppers, xcarlink, R8 coolant cap (woohoo)
///M3 E46 | XC90 (V8, natch) | Passat GTE | RR Classic V8 flapper

Nice - A stealth bomber and a stealth fighter in one collection. You have a couple of awesome cars there. I agree that the front side windows could do with a bit of legal-spec tinting, but for now, I bet you're just thrilled to have it. Nice one!
