    how many beasts have you seen on the road?

    Up until this week, I'd only seen one RS6 on the road (plenty of S8s though). The past three days, I'm three for three. Monday night coming home from work on the 110 south, a black RS6 was right next to me. On the way to work yesterday morning, a very nice red RS6 was driving down Venice Blvd in the opposite direction of me. And today at lunch I saw a nice silver one in Culver City.


    I knew there were a handful in the Los Angeles area, but I find it funny and interesting I've run across one each day this entire week. Wonder if I'll see another tomorrow...haha

    Last week my wife and I were heading up Pico, stopped at the light at Beverly. Another dayton gray exactly like mine pulled up beside us. Unfortunately, he was turning left so we weren't able to make a nice run.

    With only about 1,000 cars in the US that's quite an achievement in car spotting.

    I've seen a few S8s and RS6s, seen a couple new S6s too. In Swizzyland it's not hard, mind.

    During my 2006 2 week trip from Sweden to Italy and back, through Denmark, Germany and Switzerland I saw only 2 RS6 and both in Switzerland.

    My hometown has population of 400 000 and we have here appr. 5-6 RS6 cars. In average, once a month I'm able to spot another despite mine.

    Not including my own, I've seen 3 on the road in my lifetime (plus 1 for sale at a dealership). According to my local dealer, there are about 20 in the Northern Utah area.
    If you never exceed the limits, how do you know where they are?

    Live on Long Island, haven't seen one in the area in about a year. Used to have twin in same village, but he must have sold it. It's starting to feel a bit lonely out here.

    P.S. - only 2 RS4's spotted

    BLITZEN!!!! Go Goodwood Green!!!!!

    I've had my car for 18 months, driven cross country twice and put on just shy of 40k miles. Until I moved to the Minneapolis area I had NEVER seen another on the road. I see them regularly here and there are almost always one or two at Carousel Audi when I bring mine in for service.
    Sorry for the crummy phone pic.

    Cheers,

    Ya' mon! It is the color of envy. Any idea of how many Goodwood's there are in The States? I know of yours, Dark Night's, mine (which used to be owned by jmhm1967 in Chicago), and have seen one on AutoTrader with silver interior. That's 4 unless the autotrader car was Dark Night's. Do you know of any more?

    Your GG is the first I've seen outside of mine.

    Where was the photo for your avatar taken?
    Mine was Crater Lake in Oregon on one of my cross country jaunts. I've got one from Utah as well.

    My avatar was taken at the saddle of East Canyon, just east of Salt Lake. The road is the original path taken by the Mormon Pioneers to reach Salt Lake and runs from I-80 (about half-way between Salt Lake and Park City) and cuts over the Wasatch Mountains to I-84.

    Joe, I'm PM you so we don't continue hijacking this thread.
