Audi & The New Car Scrappage Scheme

TJH · 03-06-2009, 11:35

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 :-)

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!

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

Beast of a car, hope you enjoy it.

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

TJH · 03-06-2009, 13:40

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

Apart from that exhaust note....

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

TJH · 03-06-2009, 14:14

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

entwisi · 03-06-2009, 14:35

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!

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.

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.

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

TJH · 03-06-2009, 15:35

Track days, nothing sinister, just fun track days.

Kitkat · 03-06-2009, 15:41

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

TJH · 03-06-2009, 15:45

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.

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.
