HI guys, I am a new member from Mèxico City, and I have been watching this site for some time, and
I must say that I feel very privileged to be able to join this community, for I have seen the camaraderie,
good will and helping spirit that characterizes many of its members, as well as the vast knowledge about "the beasts" as you affectionally call your RS6s, such as DHall1, V8weight,Tozo, hahnmgh63, Ben916, BenMan, GENxer, MaxRS6, Snoopra, Speedtrapped, 4eversRS,, and many others than don`t come to mind at this time.
I bought my beast over a period of five months, which might make an interesting story some other time, taking possesion on november 2, 2010. it is a 2004 Avus grey on black with every option except solar roof and telematics, with 37,000 km. (22,995 miles) on the odometer. It looks brand new, rides and drives new, so it must have been very well preserved, as an interesting point it has a big battery and tools where the spare tire is supposed to go, said element resting now on a cover in the trunk. Former owner states that it has been flashed to 562 hp., a fact that I haven`t been able to verify technically, but it shure feels scary fast, to the point that I have felt the need to adapt my driving to this newfound power, developing a ryhtm, and making allowances for slower traffic, e:g. everybody else. In Mexico yuo can drive most of the time as fast as the conditions allow, within reason, and the cops won`t give a hard time, but it pays to be cautious and alert to other traffic, or you wont`last long. The car draws a lot of attention, even to people who doesn`t really knows what it is , but they kind of sense it is special, four door sedan body notwhitstanding, I paid for it $ 33, 600.00 Dlls., a fair price I think , given its condition. I failed to mention it also has two big amps and two JBL subwoofers, that, along with the spare, occupy must of the trunk. wife impressed, kids grinning and I couldn`t be happier with anithig else in the world. Pictures forhcoming, if I learn how to send them.
Happy new year to all the community!
