After selling my FFRR a few months ago (and regretting it ever since ). I've not been able to find another at the right spec / condition / price

Then yesterday went out in my friends V10 RS6 ..........

So thought is now, maybe buy a D2 round £5k for off road / dirty work, and something quicker for road for round £10k.

Any good suggestions ?

Needs to have 4 usable seats, and ideally be 450 - 500 bhp I'm thinking at the moment, something along lines of E55

I will be a small sense of reason here....

A STANDARD unmolested Fiat Coupe 20vt has 4 usable seats and boot big enough for 3 bat sets and then something like an Isuzu Trooper for offroad and crud lugging as they are strong machines with the older IDI engines (iirc the 3.1td) and can take a lot of fuels being thrown in them.

If the coop doesn't float your boat as it is very rapid... Then how about an S8? now that has 4 MASSIVE seats and the same enginess at the same ages as the RS6's.... FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
Mantec Sump Guard, Rigid Load liner, MY10 BT upgrade.

Can certainly recommend the S8...awesome bit of kit!!!

Or RS4...

I had a Mercedes C55 AMG estate before I had the RR.

A great drive and a little more subtle than the RS Audis or M series BMWs.

You could pick one of those up for £10k.

E55 AMG is a superb car with one of the best engines ever IMHO!

We own an E55 estate and love it to bits.  Si. <This is my name.

A man ain't truly been insulted until he stands buck naked in front of a woman and she didn't even notice. Or care.

Got to say, I'm leaning towards the E55 Supercharged - I like the understated look

The RS4 and V10 M5 are both harsh drives. The AMG's are great cruisers and have the best sound and pre owned are great value for money? Current MY2020

I thought the S8 was the same engine as the S6 not the RS6

I love the looks of the CL, but I've been in the back of one, and did find it a bit cramped

One of my workmates took me for a drive in his A8 V10. That was quite a pleasant surprise to see how comfort and speed can be combined. Still, wouldn't want to trade it for my SC in a million years  MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!
