time between build week and delivery

[V8RS6]

I have had a similar experience, having owned in the last few years an M3, M5 and XFR, I scared myself shitless when one damp afternoon earlier this year in the XFR....with all the nanny controls on, I barely managed to control a fishtail under hard acceleration. My mates told me to take out a Quattro.....but I'd never given Audi a second look, thinking they were bland in the extreme and hadn't got an ounce of passion in them. Boy was I in for a surprise! My local dealer just happened to have a new RS6 in the showroom which he plated up and took me for a test drive. The acceleration was like nothing I had ever experienced...it truly reminded me of my bike days, and it was relentless, in fact a bit scary that such a big car could build up such a speed in such a short time. Then the real fun...going round a roundabout at speeds I truly thought were impossible on 4 wheels.....all this accompanied by a fantastic barking of the exhaust every time I lifted off. I placed my order straight away, was quoted 12 weeks and it was delivered almost to the day. I was lucky though because in order to fast track 'the slow bit' from Tilbury to Dealership, my dealer sent out a private transporter to collect it so it didn't spend weeks in mothballs and going hallway round the country.
Alas, after just a month driving my new MY 2014 RS I realised that in my haste to get the car quickly, my dealer and I hadn't spec'd it to the exact requirements I would have liked. Although I added the Panam roof, HUD sports exhaust, side assist and a few other bits and bobs, I had not included the 21 inch wheels, LED headlights and the top view parking display and having driven another RS6 with these on IMO its a far better car. The LED lights and 21 inch wheels transform this car beyond belief and the top view park assist is a must for protecting the precious alloys.
So this weekend I bit the bullet and part ex'd it for another RS6 with these extras on...I'm quoted end of October spec, can't wait already!

Audi are turning these cars around except where there's ceramics or exclusive stuff. It's annoying.

Yep, I know, I wanted an exclusive leather job...was quoted 6 months!

I had red belts from the exclusive range - that sounds like why mine was so late from the build week then
