We picked this bad boy up last night. Not many fewer miles than the Saturn it replaced, but certainly more smiles... (sorry, I had to)

1995.5 Audi S6. 2.2 liter 20 Valve Turbo inline 5. Quattro all wheel drive. It's like an Ur Quattro, but with less power and more weight.

This particular car has a Stop Tech BBK on the front, and some form of ECU chip (unknown brand, but dynos around 275 horsepower). Interior is immaculate, but it could still use some love on the exterior.

So, we've rid ourselves of the Saturn (a great car, but slowly falling apart). We now have the low miles Mazda, the Rowdy Audi, and the slow, but endearing 944.

I have already described the sweetness on FB, so over here I will only express the jealousy.

Just do something with those wheels, man. (says the guy who thinks the Panasports on the GRM Focus project car looks cool. )

Nice car, and Im glad youre happy, but Ive always felt those had a little too much nose for my taste.

...turbo inline 5 sounds like a lot of fun though!

More power, not less.

You may regret this decision when you start chasing VW electrical issues, but I hope that you don't have to!

Don't get me wrong, I loved the Saturn. It was, however, uncomfortable, boring, and had a terribly unmatched powertrain (that auto box was not meant to mate to a twincam).

Alright, so here are a few additional photos of the new car meeting it's old pal.

So, plates? I'm thinking FUNFZYL for the Audi, and either 16TIL10 or CMXLIV for the Porsche. Thoughts?

Since you ask, I think 16TIL10 is brilliant for the Porsche. Then if you get a Turbo you can call it NINE210.
