Wack Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I had one at 10 years old in 2005 N565TNT , I loved that car The biggest issue is keeping a clean licence, that double glazing insulates you from the outside world , you drive along wondering why everybody is going so slow then you look down to find you're doing 95mph GrumpiusMaximus and SRi05 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRi05 Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 I had one at 10 years old in 2005 N565TNT , I loved that car The biggest issue is keeping a clean licence, that double glazing insulates you from the outside world , you drive along wondering why everybody is going so slow then you look down to find you're doing 125mph FTFY. I took this a drive this afternoon with all 4 windows down just to listen to the soundtrack, I reckon a SPROTS exhaust setup would sound amazing on this, but wouldn't keep up with it's gentlemanly image. Going to give it a proper clean tomorrow since I'm off and the weather is going to be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flat4alfa Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I'd keep it looking completely stock Apart from a set of headers poking straight up through the bonnet. House prices will plummet.

Schaefft Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 My S8 was awesome but had to go because of gearbox issues. Changing the ATF is an absolute must with these. Audi's sealed for lifetime is absolute bs, call ZF and see what they'll tell you about their gearbox. This one is low mileage enough that it might not cause any issues when it's serviced properly, if you just ignore it you can scrap it in the not too distant future.

brownnova Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I’m not surprised this didn’t hang around. One of the only modern-ish Audis I would ever contemplate. Well bought whoever you are! Ohdearme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Earrings Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Right.. Some Pirelli tyres fitted, and I've fully balanced the wheels all round. Discs and pads for the front are on order too. This will probably be up for sale. We are looking at buying a home around Derbyshire, and that commute is a ridiculous long term prospect that I won't sadly be able to sustain that cost. £1400 is what takes it. Will come with discs and pads, you can fit them yourself. Jazoli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Earrings Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Still, no regrets though, definitely wanted this V8 in my life, even if fleeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
