Are you viewing this on a black and white monitor?

I quite like that one too. How much less of a car is the normal S6? A friend of a friend reckoned they were 90% of the capability of the RS6 at a fraction of the running cost, but I've never driven one.
Cheers,

Re: Today’s want
Did they say 'capability' or 'reliability'? I don't think even a tuned RS6 is all that impressive nowadays; it never delivers the figures its power output suggests, so an S6 won't be too exciting. Definitely worth going for the newer shape S6 instead, IMO; that's quicker out of the box, more economical, much more modern inside and the wick can be turned up fairly easily if that's your bag because it has a turbo.

@tim had a V10 S6 at one point didn't he?
Looks bogging in that colour imo.

He did. Seem to remember that he spent £25k in fuel in a year or so?

18 grand, but I did a lot of miles. Epic car though.

I saw a 20v coupe on the motorway last week. They really haven’t aged well.
Re: Today’s want
Oi!!! the 440 wasn't rubbish - my first car was a 1.8 440 Li and I loved it - Most comfortable car I've even owned.

I'm a weirdo Volvo fan and even I'll admit that 400 series ones are supremely dull .

Dull - yes. But dull can be great- if you use a weird scale of greatness...
Re: Today’s want
Ah, I didn’t know the 480 came out first. I thought they all came out at the same time

Hubba, hubba, and thrice hubba!
So reminds me of the GT5S that used to prowl the West End of Glasgow when I was at uni. The sound was immense.
