Another newbie

[Bradders911]

Just picked up my first RS, after along list of car that just didn't quite scratch the itch. I'm hoping this one is a keeper.

Bought two missing wheel bolts (!!!) yesterday and enjoyed a quick blast between north Leeds, where I Iive and Harrogate and Wetherby.

Already spotted a fair amount of stuff that needs sorting, which is okay as it is supposed to be a bit of a project to keep me away from motorbikes !! A wheel refurb and new rubber this month, probably followed by new discs and pads next and it'll be going in to sort out some bumper scuffs. Got a few questions for you guys too !

Anyhoo, hope you like the piccies, from the dealers website. Haven't got round to taking any decent ones yet.

Cheers

Brad

FON dude, nice looking motor . Questions are always welcome and plenty of well versed people to answer them .

[Bradders911]

Cheers AJC.

I should have added that it's had one owner for the last 12 years, who spent an absolute fortune in maintenance but cosmetically it's not great, but I've got a 1" folder with every invoice, MOT certificate etc. The last service in Jan this year cost £4k........ouch.

Sounds like you've picked up a well loved car , It's always nice to see a massive chunk of invoices . Make sure itshe have plenty of love thrown at the gearbox in way of oilchanges or replacement. I'm sure your aware how temprementle they can be .

[Bradders911]

Yeah - I've been lurking here for a couple of years lol and Im hoping to gone into this with my eyes open, in anticipation of emptying my pockets pretty quickly.

Gearbox oil is on the ever expanding to do list.

[Ajc]

Oh yeah , they certainly empty the bank account quickly don't they . Just make sure you use genuine audi oils and filters where possible. Pick up a vag come cable it'll prove very useful I can assure you .

Welcome fella! She looks grand!
Don't fixate on costs too much, as it's all we seem to bang on about on here. We all know its a risk but we still buy them LOL!!!! I for one would be rather driving around in an RS6 than putting same sort of money in to a boring car per month paying it off.
I'm not far from you as only live at Micklefield and visit Wetherby a lot. I'll keep my eye out for a red blur?

FON mate! She looks lovely! As others have said don't worry about cost as it sounds well looked after but it's going to cost a bit if you keep it for a while and drive it properly! So welcome to the "I hate money club"
