Default Goodbye to my 993TT, welcome RS6 Audi

Well, have done the deed and sold my beloved 993TT to gain some room. However, all is not lost, as I have bought a 2002 Mugello Blue RS6 Audi with all the toys! First stop will be to re-map it from it's puny 444bhp (from it's bi turbo 4.2 Liter V8) up to circa 520 bhp.
I will really miss the Porsche, but will use the Audi as my everyday car -even after December when I am buying my long awaited dream car - a red/cream 360 Ferrari for the few days a year we have nice weather in Aberdeen. Both these cars will be getting upgraded exhausts (Milltek/Tubi).

Similar position, though can't bear to be without my 996TT, so keeping it, but just added a 360 to my collection. It doesn't have the pace or cross county ability of the TT, but is more of an "event" to drive.
The 360 already has a Tubi on it

Very nice R those tubi's are lovely!

I dont think my RS is as quick cross country as the TT, but i'm having so much more fun driving it

Very jealous mate... You've got great taste in cars, IMO.

Hello mate, welcome to RS6 ownership. I've had my Mugello Blue Saloon for a year now (03 car) and love it. Tracked a few times too.

Looking forward to your pix and experience of the Stage 1 upgrade (500bhp). I'm planning this for the car in the summer - when the warranty expires.

Thanks for comments. I now have had the car since 1.30 pm and had to come straight to the office (as last day before vacation). Will report and post pix on my return. Have only driven it in pure Auto mode till I learn about tiptronic and paddle shifts etc. The Ops Manual is about the size of "Lord of the Rings" and the Sat Nav has its own manual. Lots to read on the flight to Denver tomorrow.
