So this spring we may see some change in the local fleet in Whitchurch.
I hate the RS6 Performance that I bought in a moment of weakness.
Maria's lovely Mini Cooper S is sitting there doing little milage and she loves classic Porsche 911.
Our twins (S2 and Coupe) do not get enough mileage to feel loved.
And so the difficult tumble of our pension fund, daily drives and smiles/miles.
Damn I hate having purchased the Audi. Everything was great until the damn thing came into the mix. The previous Mercedes was a wonderful car.
At 5000 miles the alloys started to wobble.
At 6000 miles the front (steel) discs warped and needed replacing.
At 7000 miles the alloys became so eccentric the car shook at 50 mph.
At 9000 miles Audi "repaired" three of the four alloys but it still shakes the steering wheel.
At 10,000 miles the car is still shaking. If you put a supermarket cardboard wine carton with 6 bottles in the boot they rattle like a demon all the time.
Ask yourself is a "repaired" alloy wheel that began to fail within 5 months and 7000 miles going to make 3 years and 60,000 miles in a car with 605bhp weighing 2100kgs ? I am not alone in suffering this, a lot of other RS6 owners are reporting poor response from Audi under the same situation.
Morgan at least have the excuse of low volumes to build program changes over, this RS6 is a git. Some of the other things that have occurred around the RS6 C7 should embarrass Audi to hell. Dampers that rattle all the time, huge number of brakes warping,
It is not my intent to be flash, I work VERY hard, don't have other hobbies, don't take extravagant holidays and have petrol running through my veins. I also have the luck of a patient and petrol loving wife.
At the end of the day our choice of where our money is spent is part of how we are identified. We chose to buy Morgans because the factory, staff, cars and other people on the board represent birds-of-a-feather in most cases.
As we flip the cars to new (or older) cars it will be interesting to see if (which)one or both of the Mogs remain with us.
