New to C5 RS6 Plus

Post by jds67 » Fri Jan 13, 2017 10:24 pm

Wanted one of these for a while and finally picked this up yesterday. After a long drive down the m6 last night it needed its first clean today. Hasn't come up too bad. Needs a few little jobs which I will get done over the coming weeks. Hope you like it.

I still think the 355 is one of the, if not the most amazing sounding engine ever built. An orgasm in aluminium

Hi mate
Well it's interesting to say the least.
Digger has confirmed to me that he has got all the original paperwork, but after several attempts hasn't responded to my pm's ? I honestly don't know why as I have explained I am just a genuine car enthusiast that just wants to put the history back where it belongs.
It seems that Digger has had a bad experience with the car and has somehow lost ownership, which seemed to be out of his control. I don't know how as he won't speak to me.
All I know is that I have had every check on the car and it's completely legit. It has done a genuine 56k and is really in excellent condition.

Fingers crossed he'll pass the info on to you.

Are you going to keep the car as stock as possible? If not, I'd slap some different wheels on with some nice concave :thumbs:

Yeah fingers crossed. I'm planning on keeping stock tbh. I've got a well modded B5. Mind you I am one for changing my mind and I do like a nice set of wheels so you never know.

Where am I looking? Parked to the right of the Ferrari? Black rear spoiler looks like a Capri?
