The scooby has gone!
My lovely WRX03 PPP has gone, for a few reasons:
1. The seats were hurting my back. 2. Every man and his dog wanted a race when I was trying to make progress. 3. The performance was never that good above 70, but combine a hot day and air-con and I'm sure a diesel Mondeo could keep up! So, I picked this up recently :) http://tinypic.com/6qa4v5.jpg http://tinypic.com/6qa6a0.jpg http://tinypic.com/6qa6ba.jpg http://tinypic.com/6qa9w5.jpg 444 BHP, 4.2 litre V8 twin turbo. One year old, Full leather electrically adjustable and heated seats, sat nav, TV, 6 CD changer with Bose sound system, electric folding/dimming mirrors, electrically adjustable steering wheel, 19" wheels... and lots of other nice touches :) WHEN it gets remapped ;) it will have a power to weight ratio the same as the 'turbo. Abt can chip it to 505 BHP AND keep the warrantee intact with Audi UK! http://tinypic.com/6qae50.jpg I miss the chuckability of the scoob, but I think this suits my holiday driving style better. Looking forward to the first long trip - South of France here we come! :D I may also remove the badges and replace them with "1.9TDi" :D :D |
I may also remove the badges and replace them with "1.9TDi" Lovely car though, my sort of performance car these days :D |
good choice, i think i may end up with an RS4 avant next too...shame :D
|
I'd love one of those, but I'm way too tight to buy one. The V8 Audi's at Le Mans this year made an ungodly sound at full chat.
|
An excellent choice of cars.
|
Id love one of these too :cool:
:D |
Is that your porsche too - Bloody rich git. Both nice cars.
|
Superb choice of car...I remeber having a tussle with one in my (then) e36 m3 evo......Ive never been so beaten before, he simply wiped the floor, and left me for dust!
Bet it cost a bit though....! |
my dads mate had one, all i can say is what a car, he's recently tested a load of cars and reckons nothing compares to the RS6, but he also had loads of people try racing him like you get in the scoob, I think a lot of people know what the RS6 is capable of so your rear view mirror will always get the odd Nova or corsa trying it on. :)
|
Good choice :)
I also have an RS6 avant. It's the best all round car I've ever owned and the perfect companion for any journey, long or short whatever the weather. Gary. |

Not bad :thumb: :freak3: Jiggerypokery (kick-down addict) If funds would permit I'd sure like one of those one day:ponder2: . I bet they sound awesome with an aftermarket exhaust system fitted - mind you saw a red one at Oulton park acting as the pace car for the BSB and that sounded fruity. Laters F |
very :cool: i want one now :D

Sorry but gotta say Audis arent great looking cars,no matter how well they perform and no matter how gyzmo-equipped they are inside.Apart from AudiUR/WR head turner and their historical performance good few yrs ago,i dont remember any Audi including toy TT:D
Apart from that,They are ridiculously overpriced for what they are.Devaluation is about 60% as Jeremy Clarkeson said last year. Still, nice car:thumb:! I wouldnt have one!Too plain looking plane:D BTW,I have 3 Audis in my household( Mine is good old "slow" scooby tho:D ) so please know i aint having a go. :D |
When you return my RS6, Jiggerypokery, can you make sure you fill the tank please?! :D Seriously mate well done, you have great taste and wealth apparently (!) Simply: my My Dream car..The best all round car there is as far as I am concerened, theres nothing that this car hasnt got that I want.
:eek2: |
Very nice mate :D Will have to take me out for a spin in that one too, still not quite recovered from the porker experience ;)
I'm surprise the Laguna didn't get in on the photo action ;) ;) |

I'm surprise the Laguna didn't get in on the photo action ;) ;) Some of your memorable quotes from the turbo blast: Accellerating down a slip road: "My ears have just popped..." Going over a small bump at full throttle: "I thought we were going to take off there!" :D :D |
LOL, its still a vivid memory :D Certainly some beautiful engineering on the drive now :) Renault aside ;)
I'm going to bookmark this thread and see how long it takes before the next upgrade comes along :D Hope you are both well, enjoy the beasts :) Speak soon, Dunk |
The Daddy of all estates :notworthy
Stunning performance, i have only ever been in one other car that was faster and that was an AMG Mercedes. Rob |
Top car mate.
Personaly, I love fast Audi's. Much better than BMW's or Merc's. My old mans getting the new RS4 in November. Can't wait. |
Perfect compromise estate car for things like tip runs ;)
You can fit plenty of PC Monitors in the back of that! :D Did you PX the Scoob, or sell it private? |
The fastest monitor mover in the east! :D
I had to throw out half of the junk in the garage to find 40cm more for this beast. I gave the scoob back to the dealer, as they gave me more than the Audi dealer was offering. The time between deciding to get the RS6 and actually getting it was quite short, so I was keen to take the easiest route when selling the scoob. |
awesome driveway!!!
