Saw a LHD G55 (05 plate) parked in town center outside the church in Cirencester at about 18.00 on 29th, July. My friend told me that it lives locally, however I have never seen it around before. Photos will come later...

The K reg green 463 was spotted in London, waiting for the green light at the junction between Kensington Park Road and Bayswater Road at around 11.15. I was in my newly bought A6 waiting for the lights, too.

After driving the A6 on the motorway yesterday... I have come to a conclusion that the A6 is nowhere as enjoyable to drive as the G, although it has all those fun gadgets...

Just seen it again earlier this evening in Cirencester...

+ i think I saw it the M4 this morning. The first 4 figures of the number plate is the same as this one, but i am not totally about the rest.

why an A6 yes they are well built probably better than Mercedes but the ride and handling is close to the worst out there?

errrrrrr, mainly because it was so stupidly cheap... £1516 with auction fee. F-Audi-SH. Leather interior e.t.c. I bought it just for the summer. Plus the A6 is not bad to handle at all...

Re: G55 in and LHD K reg green 463

A bargain, but Audi A4's and A6's have a north south engine in front wheel drive layout a bit like a 911 in reverse and where the 911 gives oversteer an Audi gives understeer. I can't think of a single other manufacturer that uses this lay out. Saab did with the 99/900 series cars but wised up and went transverse with the 9000. But if your happy with it, ok
