Does Anyone Recognise This Car?

Post by Digger » Sat Sep 28, 2013 6:02 pm

A member of a well known Internet forum is claiming this newly purchased RS6 is his car, and it may well be true, but he has form shall we say.

In the meantime just wondering if anyone recognises or has seen this photo before. . .

Any idea for posing a question that may catch him out?

Looks like an Audi RS6 avant, any Audi RS6 avant.
You got nothing else? How about info on who it is meant to be? Someone may know him which will make this quicker.

As it's vaguely entertaining, although I wouldn't normally do this . . .

Can't someone who is an IT boffin just interrogate the photo properties to see if the photo was even taken today.

I don't have an iPhone, which he alleges to have taken the pic with, but is there a simple menu option to View Details on individual images that he could then screenshot to prove authenticity?

Thread? Ah the pistonheads one, can't be arsed to read through that. Why doesn't someone just say they will meet up with him or tell him to go to ADI.
