Yeah, I would absolutely love myself a A6 3.0T too, especially in the S-Line trim

Very nice choice.

You'd love it, I think.  The engine's responsiveness to the driver's right foot would be very appealing to you.

Thanks Till.  As I said to Lebowski, it's very responsive to the whims of my right foot..... :evildude:

I got it up to 88 mph yesterday.  Not great, but pretty good considering the level of traffic.

Nice car, congrats!

Thanks Per.  I could picture driving it around the Norwegian mountain roads.... :pullover:

:lol:  He'd be so proud of me!  I just noticed, at 103, the A6 is barely halfway to redline.  It's not even working hard at this point.  Let me know the RPM's when the speed limiter kicks in, will ya?  I need you to do that since I'm not willing to max out around here, especially with Dumpy on my tail.

Having Dumpy on your tail should only inspire you to drive faster.  :evildude:

It's okay I guess. 

Actually, that's pretty sweet Dave.  88 mph is enough for time travel so that's nothing to be ashamed of. 

Did you trade in the BMW?

Thanks Craig.  I want to do better than 88 mph but I have to wait for the right opportunity.  It's pouring rain today.  I gave the BMW to my nephew.

Still trying to learn the gizmos.  Right foot response will likely remain my favorite "gizmo" at the end of the process.  :lol:

Congratulations.  Love the color.  From the pics it kinda looks steel grey but dark blue exterior and saddle brown interior is sweet.

Cute! Loving the interior  :cheers:

Dave, make sure around town you drive with transmission in "S" mode.  It takes 500 lbs off the car and makes it a lot more fun.  On the highway, drive in "D" since in "S" it'll stay in 7th gear and cost mileage without adding much fun.  It's plenty responsive in 8th gear at highway speeds.

I'm sorry, what was that.

I thought i just heard you say "gave" and "bmw".

Interesting,

So anyway that a6 you have is getting a little long in the tooth, probably time to dump it in a few months. Feel free to give it to me when you are done.
