If you've only got brass clangers, not a ballistic-grade Titanium set, how about his V8 engined brother?

This one looks *almost* sensible.
Cheap tyres alert!

How cheap?

Although if i lived in London I'd probably accept a cheap tyre as there isn't any opportunities to appreciate better boots.

What else has the owner cheaped out on if they won't invest in tyres.

It could be that they were a bit low, and they've chucked on 4x cheapish tyres to get past idiots who just see mm of tread remaining?

I'd suggest the person putting cheap tyres on that is moreso the idiot...

Some serious bargain barges going through this thread.

The S63 would definitely be a safer punt - I've had a V12 Twin Turbo, and just a major service will be over £1k (24 spark plugs, which are over a tenner each!).

Plus, the 63 would definitely sound better.

But - if you want quite wafting with turbine-like acceleration, get the V12!

Not usually into Audi's but this behemoth may just be the ticket...

The name "Cherry Orchard Chariots" doesn't inspire confidence though...

I don't know, you come on here with a couple of awesome value money pits, a V8 and a V12, and some people just aren't satisfied. A V10 is what they want. rolleyes

hehe

Looks good, I wish I was about £30k richer...

If I had a 5.2L, 450HP V10 audi I would probably run it on Nankangs as well. NAAAATT

I thought these are a bit low in the torque department.

Agreed and it has Nankangs too. But if the rest of the car looks ok I can see past these foibles.

Ensure PPE is in use. Not for children under the age of 50. Perhaps most suited to the visually impaired.
