Mixed them with pictures and old articles from the RS6.com history book.
We've been online since September 2002, over 4 years now.

Thanks for contributing, we wouldn't be here without our members (now over 3,000.) :addict:


It's (supposed) to be winter :snow: now so I'll start on a frosen lake with the Audi quattro Driving Experience in Idre, nothern Sweden.

We had a lot of fun at the Nürburgring as well. We actually over took the BMW M5 E39 Ring Taxi, driven by a race driver.
However the driver accidentaly unplugged the videocam, that would have been a great movie.
It is probably one of the largest mistakes in the RS6.com history :rotflmao:

All the bulletcam shots are from a stock RS6 Avant. Overtaking the GT3 is something I'll never forget.

[Leadfoot]

Though I was only officially a member from March '06, I have been checking in on the site for over 2 1/2yrs and there is no site out there that even come close to equaling this. Great work from Erik and the boys.

Here's another cool video I just uploaded.

From when the GT3 RS was brand new. One careful driver with me as a passenger. I just wish he would have revved the engine more.

We have an RS6 Avant with in-car cam behind the GT3 RS. One not so careful driver :D

Havent seen that for a while. It remind me of when we filmed it. Well i had just driven my RS6 avant to the tier explosion the day befor at the ring. As it was blewn just the first days down it fellt bad. So i just did put on my street tiers BBS CH and Erik and i came upp whit the ide, well i could try to drift the porker at Hatzenbach and Erik could film it(as its easy to walk to and film in Hatzenbach, other areas on the ring are great drift areas but hardet to walk to)

Any way it was raining slightly and i well rememberd my tier explosin the day before:hihi: , as well it had left me whit a RS6 whit out ABS(the cabel was cut)


Well, well i had to have some speed and bee kind of agressive to make the porker slide as it do(it was only rain just very, very small drops). Anyway it reminds me of how much fun we had even the tier blew and ripped some bodywork on my porker. Best part we came back in one pice.:bye:

[jonas_dg]

congratulations on this awesome board Erik!
Hope someday I'll be a "real" member ;)
