Yeah you reckon? That’s what luxury feels like, you’ve been disillusioned by RS6’s . It's only 93mm wider and 340mm longer than the RS, thats the LWB the standard car is only 204mm longer.

Disillusioned by rs6's no way

Hmmm will be using her as the works bitch for the next week or so, therefore I will be able to make better comparisons ............I have however taken her off the comfort setting and replaced it with dynamic which suits my driving style more

She does however appear to have all the mod cons apart from my most essential ...... Fresh air hatch, that I know I am going to miss

Well went to get in her at the ungodly hour of 2.50am and after zapping her bloody hell she lit up like a bloody Christmas tree

Never ever seen that many lights in a car on at anytime!!! A real shock to start my day!


Well with work finished I decided to have a little play on the way home ........torque excellent and the use of the heavy oil stuff really really good as she has hardly used anything (I do 75 miles a day)
I am really impressed with her and think I might be a bit sad to see her go back at the end of next week.

The only downside of her disipite being a v8 is the lack of v8 grumble ness ..........she sounds ****e!!!!
