The C5 is now based at my house in France & the C6 on UK roads, and without meaning to appear brash, I'm now looking to add a 5th car to my collection.
Can't fault you at all!! oh how this could start a "practical dream garage" debate, but that would be off-topic as such.

I used to think a C5 RS6 and 996 manual turbo was 'practical dream garage'.

Then the issue became having a "practical dream house".

And that's where the car problem started ....

Wonderful! Your C5 is just like mine.

Don't you find it a handicap having a RHD in France?
