Sticking The Boot In. (Pics Chris Wallbank) If the RS6 in standard trim simply isn’t enough for you, then supercar tuner Litchfield has the perfect riposte.

Although my 328 has the kind of history that even Simon Sharma would find impressive, and has just been fully serviced, I’ve only gone and given it an oil change.
