    Perhaps not Vegas, but I am in Corby tonight and Haydock tomorrow.....

    Interesting, an A6 decided to park right next to the S6 in an otherwise empty hotel car park!

    Duh! I don't know why I didn't think of it when I wrote this - it turns out that the new Continental has the Porsche PDK 'box, which is easily up to the job of a 650bhp+ engine. I was guessing -wrongly - that VAG had beefed up the S-tronic.

    Probably hoping that some of the "life force" from the S6 would rub off on it.

    Most likely thinking if a car was gonna get stolen/vandalised it would be the s6 and not the standard A6 😄

    Good point!

    Saying that, nothing has yet happened so all good and hanky dory.

    Funny thing happened today as I pulled into the car park at a customer. One of the ladies, who I dont deal with, started talking to me re the S6, loving the color etc. she said she’s a real petrol head and knew all about the S6 at another customer, the MD drives an RS6....he still looked as I got back into mine (his is a normal dark blue metallic)

    Since I got my S6 in March I have now done just under 11k mls and it continues to impress me. Fuel consumption is nowhere near as bad as one would think and its extremely refined and smooth, or a beast if one wants to. Best mpg so far has been 35mpg on a nice and easy run from UK back to Cologne. Worst? Hehe....dont mention it!

    The 4-cylinder mode works even at 115mph!

    However, one weird issue is that its currently with my dealer to replace the rear screen as the heater elements have given up! A very rare issue indeed! Replacement? A Q2 1.6 Tdi with 116bhp.....no oomph at all and the manual gearbox is a notchy, clunk-clunk things! Hate it! Cant wait to get my own back!
