Interesting point about the seats - I javen't noticed it TBH. And i drove a LONG way to pick the car up.

In comparison to my old Classic's seats, the reear/back was MUCH better in the Scoob.

But I couldn't wait to get out of my Classic after just 200-odd miles - my a$$ was soooooo painful.

The drive back in the Audi was wonderful!!!

Each to their own though

Hi everyone,i've had the same tussle with an RS6 and thought in my slightly modded UK Turbo i'd have a play,i floored it from the roundabout along a 1 mile straight dual carriage-way with a big grin thinking,i'll show this german rubbish,only to be greeted with a bigger grinning person staring at me in my rear view mirror,was rather humblering experiance to pull over and watch those twin oval pipes disappear into the distance.

There is one very nice RS6 I've seen in and around Hertford too - if it's the same one (and let's face it, you don't see many of them), it also has an MTM conversion which makes them even quicker

Awesome cars

If anyone off the board is in the Aberdeen area and wants a short run ( me driving) in the re-mapped RS6 I will be happy to oblige if I am around. (Travel a lot on business).
Just pm me.
