Surely towing with a non type approved car is legally dodgy? Presumably also insurers would be less than impressed?

Just invalidates the warranty apparently, presume its the same chasis as an A6 and use the same fitment?

 

[Will Gill]

Use the Q7 for towing and dog duties?

Needs two cars, one for him, one for his wife, so needs to be flexible enough to take the dog if the tank is in use

 

[Will Gill]

If it's not type approved though, surely the stipulated allowable towing weight is 0kg and thus towing anything at all is liable (albeit probably not likely) to land you in hot water?

The warranty is a separate issue really

had a quick google

Not all specs/variant of a particular model are individually type-approved for all criteria, so I suppose it will depend on:

1) Whether the RS6 is viewed/categorised as an individual model, i.e. distinct for the rest of the Audi *6 range.

2) Whether the 'towing' criteria is engine/derivative specific (as the regular A6 will have been type approved for towing)

Just because Audi won't warrant it, doesn't mean it will be illegal...

Sounds good to me, albeit probably wrong

I'll go one batter and just take a photo of him towing a boat with it (to prevent incriminating ourselves I'll ensure its within the marina or our private yard), honestly he really won't care either way and we are towing things a maximum of 1.5-2 miles anyway and the local bobby wouldn't know an rs6 from an A6

wonder if we could beat that reyland cossie at max speed caravan towing?! we have two old vans up at the yard!

 

[Will Gill]

That's just a list of requirements to force yourself into an RS6

Get a dedicated legal tow car.
Put down the dog.

Purchase Rapide .

The DB9 I rented for two weeks, broke down 4 times in the first day, the sat nav was beyond awful and the stupid handbrake positioning made me want to strangle people.

apart from that I'm a total aston fan.....

Personally my money would go on a lambo.....in yellow and a bus pass for the other two passengers

 

[Will Gill]

Well it's was just a dodgy thrashed rental car

Men don't use sat nav.

Handbrake haven't touched it since I first got in the car!

With 1800 miles on the clock!?

I was gutted, been a fan of them since I was first able to consider buying one, ended up getting a C2s instead after we sold the 360 and I was 'lumbered' with the cayenne turbo.

So glad I left that lifestyle, even typing all that made me feel pretentious

One of my ultimate cars from my child hood

 

[Will Gill]

My dad owned 2. I had the pleasure of driving one of them! It was a beast (or at least it seemed it at the time!)

They are amazing, this guy booted it and it sounded and smelt epic, lovely rich petrol turbo smell, yummy

 

[Will Gill]

wow

 

[Will Gill]

Saw a rare little number fly past me today, just managed to catch him up long enough to grab a photo or two




not my finest photography, but I hope you get the point

How does the Jag's plate work? I can't work it out

 

[Will Gill]

ahh you would think someone as old as me would remember the old style number plate configuration!!

thanks

 

[Will Gill]

If I was a policeman I would be a all over anyone with a numberplate like that
Including the GTR with the incorrect spacing!

I have incorrect spacing on mine, been tugged plenty of times and never once have they mentioned it. Not sure, but I think they care more when you try to make letters/numbers using bolts or weird fonts.

Here's mine after a detailing session and extensive waxing

 

[Will Gill]

Mine or 'The Boss'?

 

[Will Gill]

The boss on that Jag.

Definitely ruins an awesome car, whereas mine just confirms I'm gay

One last shot from VMAX200, lined up on the runway!

That awkward moment when your enzo is painfully slow :p

 

[Will Gill]

big air brake

 

[Will Gill]

Had to spend the day sanding off anti foul on our boat that we race, perk of the job, the owner (my cousin) let us use the hugely pratical rs6 'truck', looks right at home surrounded by 4x4s





and because we sadly ( ) no longer have the on the water section, here's the 'hound'!

 

[Will Gill]

That RS6

Yeah, if I was talented with words and fancy photos I'd do a write up, its just epic, all the videos I have of me driving contain endless swearing and giggling. Something that size should not be that quick, its quite simply epic
