Default I have arrived!

I am finally a C6 owner. This weekend my son and I flew to Virginia and picked up our 06 A6. We bought it from Timdaug, a forum member, who had put his heart and soul into making this the car of his dreams.The transaction was wonderful and the car is even better. We then enjoyed a 1400 mile roadtrip getting to know our car. Timdaug is one of the finest men of character I have ever met and I thank him for all he did for us.
