Welshbeef finally buys his replacement car

[Welshbeef]

Well its time to say good bye to the E90 330d you have been a great car utterly reliable and truely a great all round car.


So..... I've been a little silly and decided I needed petrol power this time after two diesels....
My new pride and joy is a C5 RS6 estate, saw it loved its looks its incredible noise the very amusing rate of acceleration.

Never thought I'd do it but finally pushed the button.


Grinning ear to ear now that I own a car I've always admired.

Wife likes it too as its a practical family car and safe with 4x4 in the winter and snow .




Not looking forward to the mpg....

Any pics?

[NadiR]

This is only going to go well. My evening entertainment is now sorted.

[PIGINAWIG]

Oh my.......

[Welshbeef]

How do I post pics from iPhone to here?

[PIGINAWIG]

Oh my.......

[FamilyDub]

Nice, enjoy.

Just don't ruin it all by starting 327 threads about its mpg vs the E90, or its 0-100mph time, eh?




pics or GTFO

[PIGINAWIG]

Back to petrol power with a lovely sound and my first ever v8.

[Welshbeef]

And no honestly this time it is not a big porkie pie

I've bought it without even getting an insurance quote - totally out of character for me

FFS don't worry about the mpg, assuming of course, you don't do intergalactic mileages?

Popped your V8 cherry, well done

[FamilyDub]

So, you're also fully up to speed on the C5's potential gearbox & DRC issues, right?

Eddie Cain has a good C5 blog in his profile, had one a few years ago before the E61 M5.

Beefy, click on the address bar and remove the mobile. part and then you'll be taken to the full website version where you can click to upload an image.

And we'll done. We just waved our C5 4.2 V8 off to a new home this afternoon. I can only imagine how satisfying the RS feels to drive.

Take a photo on your phone, then select the upload photo option when you're typing out your post.
