Just spotted this in ASDA car park in Aberdeen.

Shame as it is a nice car (3.0 supercharged) but come on, they didn't even make a V10 in that shape!



It had the V10 badges on the front wings as well.
Yes they did, one in the classifieds...

Am I due a whoosh? Thought the pictured car was an A8? I'd be so embarrassed when I took it for a service, you've got a nice car and pretend it's something it isn't. Bizarre.

My mistake, I was sure the one I saw was one of the new C7 ones paperbag

My Audi identifying knowledge has clearly slipped a bit!

ETA it appears I am not the only one who thinks the similarity between models is a bit much laugh

Well I thought it was an A4paperbag

Must be annoying spending all that money on a legit car & people on the internet think it's a 2 litre diesellaugh

Saw a reverse Partridge today. Second generation Vectra with one of these on the back:



Also had a V6, 2.8, and turbo badges as well but due to the age and small wheels not sure they were telling the truth.
Why would it not be telling the truth?

or plod: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231114363762
Neither of those are a second-gen Vectra though.

I saw a 5 Series, I think it was a 53 reg, it had quite a few //M badges and an M5 badge but it had tiny wheels and no bodykit, I don't think the e60 M5 even existed as a 53 reg.

Golf GT 2.0TDI GT

Fair enough. But if you are trying to persuade us that your VAG turbo-diesel is a rampaging "GT" (x2) you should maybe have removed the "Bluemotion" badge...

The point was that it wasn't a GT...he'd added the badges himself!

Saw a VW Passat Motorsport the other day but couldn't get a picture. I did manage to spot this E500 Turbo in Elegance trim and get a photo, pretty sure it's a misbadging and had some spotty oik driving it.
