:love2: I found a few of my old movies and uploaded them to Google video.
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.

happy birthday and long life to this great site :applause:

[Leadfoot]

I think what makes this site such a success is the informative debates that make it a joy to log on.

I just wonder how many Audi dealers use this site for info on up and coming models.

P.S.

And Frederic's cheeky pictures.:hahahehe:
