Afternoon, Guys...

Had a few tasty cars over the years, since I joined R32OC.. But after selling my 2018 RS6 Performance a couple of weeks back, I've decided to dip my toes into the world of Supercar ownership. I drove from Glasgow to Amari Supercars in Preston, last Wednesday, to look at a Vegas Yellow V10+ but turned out to be a bit of a dog, so continued south to Chester to have a look at a Dynamite Red one and i wasnt disappointed. I left a deposit and headed home. Tomorrow's the day where I take my enclosed trailer to collect the car and I'm absolutely buzzing.. 😁😁

My outgoing RS6 Perf...

And the beauty that's replacing the '6..

Thanks for looking.

Gaz.

It is a beautiful car . Audi really did get this one absolutely right . And just like the R32, there will not be any more of them .

Well this. Put us R32 owners all in the corner 😂 Great car, hope you are going to enjoy it And it's the 10, way better than 8zyl

R32 owners will never be in the corner Klemen , but might be slightly behind say, an R10 !😀😀😀😀

Really quite jealous. I was looking for one of these myself but couldnt stomach the price increases since the car shortage. My concern was if/when that gets sorted, I'd be hit with a lot depreciation.

Put a deposit down on a new Emira instead. Thinking being that I'll probably run it for a year and then take another look at either R8 or GT3 prices.

What was wrong with the yellow one at Amari?

Well guys, it wasn't a happy ownership. Dual clutch let go, taking the gearbox casing with it, resulting in a £20k repair bill. Audi wanted £40k for a brand new gearbox. Dealership were a nightmare, finance company were even worse and the Ombudsman are beyond useless.

Sold the car into the motortrade yesterday after 10 months of ownership. TBF, after having the gearbox replaced, I just kicked it's head in for the last 6 months, so I suppose it wasn't all bad haha.

Word of advice to anyone looking to dip their toes into supercar ownership, buy from a main dealer, with proper warranty. A mistake I'll live to regret and a massive learning curve.

Onto the next one. 991.1 GT3 or AMG GTR next, I think.

Oh. That was indeed an unhappy marriage . Sorry that R8 ownership was not quite as you had hoped .
