Fall is coming in hard in Holland, leaves are dropping and it seems like the rain never stops. But when it does stop and the leaves are dry you can shoot some incredible pictures. Mike Gilbert thought the same and shot this Audi A6 in this amazing setting. The A6 had a small makeover with a new nose that was taken from a S6 version.
I love this shot… The car has been factory fitted with an Oyster gray metallic color. Just to think that at my recent Nürburgring trips you see these cars everywhere but none of them looked this good. A ‘simple' but effective airbag system made by Bagyard was more than enough to get this car stand out from the crowd.
The centerpiece of this car are the wheels. They are made by MRR and are called HR-4 they come in size 20"x9 et38 with Falken FK452 235/30/20 tires all round.
When we take a look inside we can see it has been fitted with all the luxuries you could wish. I personally would have chosen for a different color setting with carbon touches and black or grey leather.
How much fun it would to wake up every morning and drive to work in a car like this.

So fresh and so clean
If this was black, it would make a GREAT Transporter car, haha
desktop #3?
If the car is from Holland, why is there a Washington state plate on the back
It is from WA...
one of the best a6 I've ever seen
I am now officially in love!!!!!
This is the epitome of tuck.
This is the best theme month EVER!!!!!! This car is SICK . . . AAAARRRGGGGG!!!!!
It is not clear in the story but that is Mike Gilberts own car, and the pumpkin pie guts make that car.....and the air suspension is not too 'simple'
Yeah i've seen it before... it's on the WA westside. I've heard rumors that it went to Holland for a bit with it's owner. I think that house is in Redmond, or near the sound
Those wheels are to die for, the orange interior is nice but the owner should match it with his dashboard or vise versa.
Neil, Jeroen Willemsen is from Holland, the car is from Washington.
That car is all kinds of classy.
haha its in washington.. my state. i love the car especially audi, i hope i get to see it while am drivin around WA..
Pictures definitely don't do this car justice. It's a great reflection of Mike: Subtle Awesomeness!
nice. but the pictures are too far away.
this is seriously THE GREATEST theme month ever...... ever
WALLPAPER PLEASE!
Mike is the man.. I dont know where you got holland from but Mike owns the car, its never been to holland atleast not while he has owned it, which he ownly bought it earlier this year and already it is one of my favorite cars in the PNW

OMG!!! destop of last one PLEASE!!!!!!
I love this car...its so clean....
I agree with Shazza, WE NEED DESKTOP PIX OF THIS CAR!!! ITS ORGASMIC!!!
PNW FTW!!! 360 baby

The Article doesn't say the car is from Holland... Jeroen is just talking about Fall in The Netherlands as he lives there :>
Thanks for the kind words, guys. I'm the owner- and photographer. The car has been a labor of love, and I'm honored to have a spotlight here on Speedhunters!

mike i love your car
Holy Crap, That car looks incredible!
Linbergh and Mike Gilbert are the best photogs out there!!
Desktops Please!!
Beauty of an Audi you have there, sir. Your car and all that I've seen so far this month are making me seriously consider bagging my Mustang. I'm not a hardline performance nut that needs maximum traction or stiffness, I just cruise anyway so I think it would be perfect.
clean and subtle.perfect.
nice car overall...
personally, not a fan on the interior however... looks like a pumpking threw up all over it hahah
+1 on shot 3 for desktop. Awesome car.
DOPEASSFUCK
i <3 mike gilbert.
Washington is doing it BIG. We need a Hellaflush meet up here
FIRE FIRE!
I love it, but I'd prefer an avant =)
Hey don't mean to sound creepy but where are you in WA? It would be great to see the car in person, and i would love to know the area so I can keep an eye out
Posted the desktops above.If they offered the Avant in a 4.2 V8 I would have gone that route
I'm in the Seattle area.
yeah mike, the audi is looking good, and it is waaaaaaayyyyy sicker in person. how was holland?...lol
The interior makes the car, it's absolutely stunning. Car looks awesome as always Mike, cool feature!
WOW! this car has left me speechless and daydreaming!
