I will still stay connected to this community. This was one of the best car forums I was a part of. A lot of knowledge in the group here and everyone willing to help and provide insight
I do want to get back into a twin turbo V8 platform...so may be back soon in the guise of an S8 Plus. Keep doing what you guys do and keep this forum alive!
Will be popping in now and then.
Chandra
Sad news. Hope the new owner takes care of it.
Thanks, and good luck!
Thanks Erik...Will keep engaging on the forum, perhaps the new owner will pop inQuote:

Sorry to see it go, such a prime example, but sounds like it should be well cared for... :rs6kiss:
Yes it's going to a good home and to someone who appreciates what this car is.Quote:

We can just turn it into a 911 meet instead.Quote:

Just looked up detailing dynamics. Damn I wish we had places like that up here in the hills. Couple body shops do pretty decent jobs but nobody takes it as serious as the big city guys. After photos when you get the car back please.
The RS6 is gone today sadly. I meant my 911 is at Detailing DynamicsQuote:

It's always a sad day to see an icon such as the Rs6 leave one's hands. I've had 2 , and still miss having one in my garage . FWIW, I currently own a Cayman GT4, a Cayenne S as well as an E63S AMG ...and I still miss having an RS6 around. Speaks volumes of how good it is.
I believe we actually met many moons ago at EPL . Tony was tuning your white C6 A6 at the same time he was sorting my Stg3 B5 S4.
Nice stable btw...yes I remember meeting you!...I had a white C5 2.7T, Tony tuned it to 427 whp with Aquamist W/M injectionQuote:

Funny how my new car will be coming across the Atlantic while I am going in the opposite direction for 3 week trip to The Azores.
Congrats Nene!Quote:

Always an occasion when I take it out for a drive.
@Nene- congrats on the Taycan ! I'm eventually going to get a full plug-in as well, just don't know which one yet.

Very nice GT4...The interior is Carrera Red on the 997.2
Nice job on the detailing. Did you do the whole ceramic coating etc?
Yes the entire car is coated along with the wheels and calipers.Quote:

I look forward to your future thread of picking up a replacement RS6 :jlol::addict:
Went on a short road trip with my recent addition to add to the Porsche material..hahahahahaha

Nice 996 TT Max! I assume you still have the old girl?
Yes sir- The RS6 shares the garage space. I used it the other day to transport me/clubs to the golf course. The clubs don't fit in the 996 frunk- hahahaha. The RS6 is here to stay as we have too many shared experiences (good and bad) to see it go.Quote:

Update- ABS is all good after wiring to a front speed sensor repaired. It is put back together! A lil paint touch up and clean up remains. I'll be out at MSRC for a day of testing/tune in a couple of weeks. Then it is off to meet some friends at NCM mid September.

Damn you guys and your fancy VW's :lovl:
Really nice selection of cars, and I can see why you would move to a more nimble drive, plus they look outstanding.
Maybe it's time for me to get one LOL. Each of my neighbors has a Porsche now, I feel left out. The old guy next to me has one from the 60's-70's, not sure on the model. My other neighbor just got a white with red trim 911 S from the late 80's I would say.
^Do it! The 996TT prices are still good. If you have not driven one- do yourself a favor and find one to test drive. However; be prepared to convert funds into metal :) It is a dang fun car to drive.Quote:
