4th Audi... This time I went a bit silly...

[ScaredJimmy]

Greetings all,

Thought I had better sign up after lurking for some time.

Just bought my latest, and probably a "keeper" for some time. 2013 S8

Before I have had...
2010 D4 A8 4.2Tdi - 7k-78k miles. Phantom Black.. never missed a beat.
2006 S6 V10 - 5k-38k miles - Aurora Blue - Never missed a beat, but cost me a ****** fortune!
2005 A6 V6 3.0Tdi - 6k-55k miles - Aurora Blue - the car that hooked me on the 4 rings...!

I'll put some pics up of the monster in the A8/S8 section.
But for now...

Cheers

Jim

PS If anyone knows ScaredJimmy from the MLR (Evo Forum) Yup, same idiot

Hi and welcome ScaredJimmy :sign_welcome:
Wow that is a beast of a car!
If you don't mind just one question on your previous cars..
You say the S6 V10 Never missed a beat, but cost you a fortune?? Care to elaborate? Just curious!
Going to check the S8 thread now..

Cheers
Ben

The S6.. ahhhh.
Reasons for much £££ spendiness were as follows:-
1) I was a quite "spirited driver" with it so munched through tyres.
2) 2 sets of disks and pads required at the front, one set at the rear.
3) Trip to the 'ring destroyed one set of front disks and pads and a resulting brake fire ****** the lacquer on the front rims
4) It NEEDED (honest) a MillTek exhaust system to make the V10 sing.
5) Petrol... lots and lots of it

Ah I see nuff said - I did wonder
Well it will be good to see how you get on with the S8! But these bigger engines are there to be enjoyed so hey ho!

All the best
Ben
