Saw a sweet C6 S6 in black with 20" HRE's at my place of work in Sunnyvale today...

**Number54** · 02-22-2010 06:38 PM

You're my twin:) I heard the exhaust rip, looked for a second, and saw a clean Santorin S4 with someone giving a quick wave.

Exhaust was not stock, but I didn't see much as I was taking a left turn.

Was that a hello to me, or a FU to someone else?

Anyone?

Edit: My bad, not on 92W, on 84W. Seems I can't edit the title:(

**splatt** · 02-22-2010 07:59 PM

Silver B5 S4 turning right off Mission St in Santa Cruz around 6:35 tonight, looked basically stock. I was turning left onto Mission in a stock black B5 s4 sedan w/my fogs on.

**dbtong** · 02-22-2010 08:31 PM

Someone was getting some work done to their black B5. 18" B5 RS4 reps and exhaust. Saw the car doing a couple of acceleration runs up the street around 11:30 AM.

The company I work for is HQ'd in Sonoma...on the other side of the Big-O that is next to Kovacs. I walk by it when I go to grab some lunch from across the street.

To keep this thread on track, additional sightings around the area...

Driving out via highway 12, spotted a blue B5 with gold/bronze wheels coming the other direction (something funky going on with the headlights that I couldn't figure out) and a B7(?) avant with wheels. I know I'm missing one other but I always see a few modded Audis in and around Sonoma.

Wow Steph, you post as fast as you drive.... saw you 4 cars back coming fast behind me. Sweet TT BTW

**a4darkness** · 02-25-2010 10:47 AM

Maybe he did the Vag mod enabling forum posts from steering wheel controls. Saw it on a German Audi forum site once, totally true.

hahaha i think first thing he did before work was post the sighting. Still the TT's got a little storm trooper look (intentional / unintentional Steph?)

That's a factory sticker for all 100, 200, V8 quattro. Love that stuff! The European version of C4 100 and B3 80 in Europe had this...

Really? It ONLY said quattro, nothing else. I haven't seen it before, maybe all those other people just removed theirs then?

Also, silver C6 S6 spotted waiting at the Mission+Chestnut intersection in santa cruz around 12:15 today.

Saw a black, tinted B5 A4 w/a white Audi rings OOOO sticker on the rear window turning onto HWY 12 E from Fulton Rd. around 9:45am.

Just now ~3:30pm saw a black, tinted B6 A4 USP 3.0 turn from 116 on to Guernville Rd. heading East.

I tried to snap a pic of each but neither worked. Damn camera phone.

I was in the gray, tinted B6 A4.

**Justin:NorCal** · 02-25-2010 04:47 PM

R8 spotted turning into The Shops off Tassajara and Dublin Blvd.

No, everything is right, it suppose to say only quattro. C4(like mine) and B3's had what I posted on the pic, NOT a quattro sticker.

For the first time ever spotted in downtown San Jose a C4 with this kind of body kit, never I have seem something like this running in States. Must of paid good money for that shipping or maybe the whole car is from Germany, who knows...

Saw a couple different people who might be on here while driving around this morning:

Meteor grey b8 s4 on El Camino at Menlo Ave in Menlo Park around noon.
