I had a moment the other day, it lasted about 1 hr. I drove it again and well it was an easy decision, she stays.

Yes, she cost big money. Bit if it was red and had a prancing horse on the front you would be expecting it.

My wife says there are three in our relationship. My son, the car and then her! Oops!!!

Warranty or no warranty, they are a real ball ache to run.

My advice? Get yourself something newer !

Cheers Golf, we're trying to have a whinge and a moan and you come along with sensible suggestions, stop pissing on my chips.
If you haven't got anything negative to say...
No matter where you go, there you are.

Fekin love S6's, great understated V10 monsters.
Mental throttle response, and a zorst note that will make you cream.
Plus a few choice mods to the cabin will give you this:

And the best bit? You don't need a warranty to run them... ;)

Get yourself into the 21st century DK !!

You know your gonna miss the RS marque DK. The S6 is nice, but it'll never meet your expectations. If you do go for it, make sure you slap some RS6 20's on there and ditch the inferior badges.
Now Sold!

'03 Daytona Grey RS6 Avant.
Bilstein PSS9's - bloody amazing.
275 Vreds.
MRC custom map with TCU.
Miltek Resonated.
Hi Flow filters.
Piano inserts with natural leather.
19" 'Plus' (Grey) rims.
Pioneer Avic-D3 (to replace RNS-D) inc DVD, Nav, Ipod Movies, Bluetooth and much more.
