Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

Decided to change the audi to the new model RS6 Avant. Petrol heads amoung you will know all about the RS6!!.

The car scrappage seems a good idea but i got a far better deal without it, seems car dealers are non too keen on it at the moment.

Not sure why.

Car arrives friday :-)

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

I see you are dealing with your depression teh right way.... Anyone who feels down after driving one of those needs to give it to me! :D

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

Somtimes you have to treat yourself.

I had the last model for a few years now, but this new V10 5.0 RS6 Avant should do the trick for putting a smile on my face.

You know just what i mean as a fellow Audi driver

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

Beast of a car, hope you enjoy it.:cool:

One of my favorite cars is the Audi RS, the RS4 Avant would do for me though.:D

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

thankyou i intend to enjoy it!. The build quality its far above Mercedes. Its a real Wolf in Sheeps clothing.

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

Apart from that exhaust note....



How often do you hear a sheep GROWL.........
:D

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

very true, it does have a unique Growl to it. But its still an estate car :-)

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

a Family car by all intents.......

In fact I reckon the only thing coming out its exhausts are cute bunnys and fresh flowers...

You don't have to convince me mate!

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

The noise is one of the best bits, IIRC it has a sport button that changes it from nice to Awesome.:)

It being an estate is its best bit, although i cant imagine my two dogs liking being in the back as it hits warp speed 9.:D

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

Even in normal drive mode it is a beast to handle. Pop into the 's' and you have a machine capable of taking on £150000 Italian super cars.

Audi wanted £1790 to take the 155mph limit off, crazy money considering.

The nicest feature of the car is the reversing camera which has 2 predictive lines to show you angle of approach as you turn the wheel.

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

Why would anyone want to go faster than 155 miles per hour - especially as the speed limit in England is 70

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

Track days, nothing sinister, just fun track days.

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

Why would anyone pay in the region of £50,000 for a brand new car to use on a track

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

Region of £77000 and use it on a track

My choice, not all track days are races, you can go down and simply do a 1/4 or 1/2 or mile race in a straight line.

Allows you to stretch your vehicle and see what it could / can do.

For real track days my friend and i jointly own a TVR which is cheaper and far more aggresive.

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

Im sure there are remaping companies that would remove that for a lot less.

What the average MPG on the beast in "s" mode, 5/10 miles to the gallon.:eek:

He might fancy a trip to germany on the autoban.;)

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

20mpg around town, you can get upto 28mpg from past exprience but all depends on your driving style

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

Same reason some people pay >500k on a house, just to sleep! duh...

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

I wonder if it would be worth some of us getting together and going to a track day... Some decent cars in the ownership of accywebbers these days.... Good choice TJH! Great car!

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

He aint a member of AccyWeb, but can Simon bring his Firebird? :D

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

I do believe that anything that happens to have a v8 in automatically qualifies!

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

Thought ya might say somet like that :p

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

As good as that, I used to get 15/20mpg in my old V6 Vectra.

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

Audi have done some real advances on the new 5l V10 power unit. I know on test drive i managed a 28mpg on the M65.

Its the same engine that powers the R8 V10 model. There is an R8 V8 model which has the RS4 engine in it.

A track for Accyweb would be good plan.

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

great car but i fell out of love with audis a while ago there just to sterile...bit like porsche but i must admit ive taken a fancy to the audi tt rs

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

nothing with that much power could ever be sterile!

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

Well in my experience, it is usually Audi drivers that want to go faster.

Whenever your rightfully in the outside lane on the motorway & a car comes right up behind you, bullying its way through to shove you off into the left lane where there is already other cars just because your only doing +/-80mph 99% of the time it is an audi.

When you got yours did they also supply the "drive like a t$@t coat" with it?
I believe its compulsory now. :D

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

You watch too much Top gear....


IMHE, (and speaking of someone who spends > 2 hours a day on them ) its Merc and BMW drivers who are the most inconsiderate although you can come across complete knobs in all makes and models.

why should we be allowed to own machines capable of such speeds? because there are many places to drive them that its legal, because we get our kicks from speed, because you actually become accustomed to speed so it becomes less dramatic so we look for kicks where we can.

Speed is not the issue, inconsiderate/inappropriate speed is.

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

There are an awful lot of drivers on the motorway who only think about themselves, are you one of those?

They stay in the outside lane when cars are approaching them from behind without even thinking they should be moving to the left after over taking. Then there are the ones who pull into the next lane without bothering to see if they will be causing someone in that lane to have to brake or avoid them.

I think the worse ones are possibly the middle lane hoggers. The one's who sit in the middle lane at 70 and never move into the left lane even when the road is clear. Decent drivers then have to move across 2 lanes and then back again just to pass them.

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

I was travelling back from stafford last week and a complete idiot was doing a steady 69mph in the outside lane for about 10 miles until the POLICE moved him over.

People who drive well use there common sense, there have been times when ive touched 90 + mph to safley join a motorway where people have been travelling in the inside lane where people are trying to join the motorway. Its safer to speed past them then to brake to a halt. After all, they should move over to allow me to join. But they dont.

Moderation and common sense, not the blind following of the law will keep you safe on the road.

Ive done more than 20mph through Accrington but have seen others doing 40mph.

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

lol u know what i mean, its always to much about the technology but still a great car

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

u give way on the slip road

The Road Traffic Act says you give way to people on your right. You are in the wrong thinking they should give way. Try it with a heavy goods lorry and see who wins.

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

Maybe but a good driver expects cars to be approaching on the slip road and makes every effort to allow them to join the motorway.

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

yeah of course they do but you should always treat them as if they havent seen you as as you have no right of way then it should be the person joining looking for the spaces.

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

Very true, my error.

Ill scrap the Audi and buy a little mini for £50 then ill be no threat to anyone weather it to be on the road or to there egos.

Not all rules make safe sense, i dont do things which endanger my life and stopping on a slip road would endanger my life!!.

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

lol u will be at more risk with a mini :D

get yourself an r34 skyline :D £29000 for a 580 bhp monster lol

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

Your quote Not all Traffic rules make sense.
The road traffic rules have been created from years of driving knowledge, and they are there for a reason.
I've never had to stop on a slip road, if you anticipate whats coming on your right properly and adjust your speed, then whats the problem.

Some people try to race every one else, for what purpose, you nearly always come up behind them at the next hold up, and they are usually banging their hand on the steering wheel.
Retlaw.

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

Oh RETLAW what it would be like to have a wise head on young shoulders.

I can only look forward to the day that i see the world with the clarity which you see it in.

Ill put my head back in my books and wait.

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

People that stop on the slip roads are dangerous, because others are coming up behind them trying to achieve the higher speeds that the rest of the motorway are doing.

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

I am sure if you had cut as many dead people out of cars that Walter will have you may think a little more like he does.

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

so why do they insist on putting traffic lights on them? :D

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

I really can't see the point in that.

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

they reckon its to ease congestion around busy junctions. TBH I think it does work to some degree if you are already on teh motorway but getting on them if much more of a pain.

Re: Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme
 

Right on Neil. I have had to cut a lot of people out of cars. Seen a lot of dead bodies as well, and bits and pieces all over the road, but what pleased me most was when you are cuttng them out and trying to reasure them, render first aid, all the time thinking they won't survive, and then a couple of months later you see them again, walking around town, doing their shopping and such. And they never recognised me or the rest of the lads.
One of the worst was at Rising Bridge, near whats now Winfields. Three cars and 7 people badly injured, and the road suface was covered in ice. We had a few dicey moments getting there.

Retlaw.
