I remember reading an article a few years back that showed Michael Schumacher driving an Audi A6 Avant (possibly an RS6) in a ski resort.

Strange but true, Ross Brawn also had an Audi Avant RS6 (2002 reg) as a friend bought it from him about three years ago (2006?) and still has it. So Ross has an Audi for about four years whilst with Ferrari.

Makes sense really, large and powerful family estate cars that are not involved in F1.

JB was interviewed by the Telegraph earlier this year. Journo was treated to a burn out in the tunnel by him (very early morning, not a race weekend) in E60 M5.

DC sold an E46 M3 a few years ago IIRC.

I do like BMWs too! smile

I now own that very same car... paperwork and plate confirms the Mansell connection. It’s an excellent example, no short cuts taken on the extras, low mileage.
