my 1 week old S6

[EdV10]

Just want to say hi to everyone. I was referred by Horch from Audizine to this forum. Here are a few pics of my new car.

Welcome! Lovely looking car. Hope to see you down at the Spectrum next week.

[Aronis]

Nice car. Love the color. (had a silver M3)

Just finished polishing then waxing my car, not as shiny as yours LOL.

Enjoy

Mike, you do that yourself? How long did it take?

Welcome EdV10! Beautiful S6 you have. This is Horch from Audizine, but I'm Audiphile at my home base here at rs6.com We hope to see you at the Irvine meet. It would great to see other S6 owners and their rides. We RS6(ers) are meeting early just before the Irvine Audi Anonymous meet at 1PM at the Red Robin at the Irvine Spectrum (see below):

As for those who are.... here's the address to type into your GPS/google maps/mapquest/etc for Red Robins:
83 Fortune Dr, Irvine, CA
And just to make things a bit easier, I have the below two satellite images and a bit of explanation. As Red Robins is actually within the Spectrum mall itself, you can't simply pull up and park in front. Instead, I recommend that we all park in the lot immediately in front of Barnes and Noble, marked with red arrows in the picture below.

And a bit of a close up:

Hope you can make it. Also, as per Audi Owner tradition (it's in your owner's manual), you must name your little guy. Thanks for coming to RS6.com. and welcome.

Lovely S6, congrats and welcome!

Enjoy the car! Its a great auto. I have had mine for almost 2 years now, and it has been fab. Thinking about replacing it with an '09 S6 since it looks like we are getting screwed on the new RS6 here in the States. Congrats again on the new S.

[DuckWingDuck]

There are no 6s of any kind in the '09 pricing guide....

[AuditudeA642]

Nice car! congrats.

Ya, I noticed...I think they are waiting on the facelift, but who knows, seems a little weird.

Great car. congrat's!

S6 is fantastic vehicle!

[Aronis]

Mike, you do that yourself? How long did it take?

I did it a setion at a time, still have doors and fenders to do, couple hours over all.

Was interested in the faded areas like rockerpanel and leading edge of rear fenders. Not as good as I had hoped. Had clay barred that area but not too much better.

New car is always shiny but to keep it up and wax it yourself as it aged is priceless......haha (AMEX commercial)

Lookin' good...

[DuckWingDuck]

very nice indeed. Looking forward to seeing you this weekend!

[Audiphile]

Nice Rims! I look forward to comparing my 20" rims with your new 20" rims side by side. Now, Sunday will be cool. Also, I am very curious on the details of the fitting of your rims and tires. What is OEM style of this rims and its offsite, etc? What is your tire size? I am a bit of geek when it comes to rims and tires. Just ask DuckWing (Greg).

Audiphile... my wheels are 19x9.5 with Nitto NT555 275/35-19 all the way around. Offset is 42mm. I have to special order these wheels because they were suppose to be rear wheels application. Since mine is a quattro so i ordered all 4 rear wheels. I want the Invo tires but they only have 285/35-19.....:vgrumpy:

[DuckWingDuck]

Wow, 42 offset? I'm also surprised that you only went to 275 on a 9.5 width, could've gone wider, no?

[Audiphile]

The offset is actually ok. Consider that the original S6 19" Rims have an offset of 52mm. I agree, could've gone wider. Greg see you tomorrow and everyone else.
