Great pictures Marc. I'd say it was a great trip.

The RS6 with the "smoking" problem had a bit of a whoopsie daisy...

Yeah, it was a great trip. A great drive down through Wales again - only got to take in the Llanberis Pass and Evo Triangle on this trip though as I was heading east to meet some people before the trip down.

I didn't see what happened the TT. It was just coming off track as we arrived. Looked to be rather a large ding in the driver's rear and the tail light was broken too.

update from the RS6 owner:

Quote:
Hi Guy.

Car is ok i think. its at Audi getting looked at.

it wont hold coolant so so seems as tho a pipe burst, on monday the light came on so i topped the water level up and it tool over 1ltr of water so something was going on, i didnt think nothing of it which is why i tracked it.

i thought the coolent leaked out once i hit the grass but once i was off the track it seems as tho thats what has caused me to spin out. i didnt even see it steaming as i was concentrating on taking the bend but it took me, no controlling that once it went.

Car still works, boosts fine, no knocking or loss of power. just the coolent loss issue which i will will try and get under the warranty as its not general wear and tear, on a car of its calibre it shouldnt burst regardless how its been driven, to be fair if it didnt happen there it would of happened while on the road.


Quote:
just had a call from audi, the part is £75 but there is 6hours labour involved to try and change it and its not covered due to it been the cooling system, only the waterpump is covered.

looks like the wheel refurb will now be on hold.

and they confirmed there is no other damage done to the car.

Apparently he hit a tyre wall and the rear suspension is also damaged.
