No,just brave ! Nice to see a bit of bravery,really nice car though.
Not as brave as you might expect. They are a tough car and considerably less borkish than the RS6. Don't expect a rip-snorting racer though, they are a pretty refined drive and need a Milltek or similar if you want them to souns at all rude. Very complete car though.

Get thee in the right thread edo my man!Visited the £13k S6 v10 today, didn't even drive it? Turns out the pictures in the add are 18 months old and it doesn't appeared to have been loved since. Unwashed inside and out, appeard to have had some paint but couldn't properly examine as it was dirty, may have also have spent its life going through car washes from all I could tell.
Boot motor had failed dropping the corner of the boot on to the roof, taking the paint off and denting it, this hasn't been touched in and was rusting, the boot hadn't been recentred.
Seller couldn't find all the paperwork, whilst services had been carried out by audi, additional works had been completed by the "local lads".
Passenger bolster was badly worn and the whole interior looked pretty shabby, not helped by the rubberised coverings wearing off some switches and the quality of the leather being pretty average.
Rear tyres were illegal, one had a chunk missing out of the sidewall, disks worn, all pads almost dead and drop links wobbly.
My e39 which is 4 years older and has another 20 k miles on it felt significantly fresher.
All in all it didn't feel "right".
Now looking at cayennes.

t ones this week, the s6 and the 550i manual. Astounding how poorly people treat their own cars. probably needs a few quid spent on it but as a old relative of mine said
you can't get a piss on the railway for £350 these days

I've seen the other but just can't get excited about it. In fact I found the audi interior a big disappointment after my e39. I think I've been spoilt.
