Whoo-hoo, new car on the way!
Discussion
Get my new car on the 10th April, well new to me anyway.
4.2TDI A8L quattro to replace my 3.0TDI model.(Currently for sale in the Classifieds)
More toys, more power, can't wait.
As an aside whilst out on test drive had one of those Vauxhall Monaro Bathurst Edition go past me on the A45. 30 mins later salesman told me it was 3 ft shorter and buried in the back of another vehicle on the ring orad around Coventry.

Vauxhall, or rather more acuratly HSV, power is too much for some people. I'd almost litterally kill for one of those, I'd even settle for the 6.2 (430 bhp) N/A version, 500bhp superchanged bathurst model is a little OTT even for my tastes. I drove a 5.7 Monaro when they were new (2004ish), and really upset a customer in a new Jag XK8 that was overtaken, and left for dead by a Vauxhall.A8L is a very very nice car, well done that man.
I saw the new A8 the other day at MK, its got massarging seats and night vision amoung a long list of toys.

The car is a 2 year old one so miss out on the showroom tax. Have not got the funds for a brand new one, always go for a 2 year old car. Car must have been close to £80k new, under £30k 2 years later.
Anyway there is a completely new A8 in the showrooms in a month or so although the LWB version is still 12 months away. Have to wait a while for one of those though.

Picked up the beast this morning and have not stopped smiling since. I thought the 3.0TDi was good but bl**dy hell this thing has some serious power!!
MPG is atrocious today as can't help playing, even Mrs D had a big smile when she pressed the loud pedal, might have to hide the keys from her.
Lots more toys to play with as well, reversing camera is my new favourite thing.Giving it a proper clean tomorrow as well not just a showroom lick & promise.
Audi Coventry looked after me well, very pleased with their service. We'll see what happens when it comes to the servicing side.

Get some pictures posted!
I have the A6 3.0Tdi, but I'd love to feel the difference in the power between the two.
It's on my list of 'next car to buy' but that won't be for many many years yet.
P.S. How many car park spaces do you need?? the 6' is a bit tight for some, but the 8' must be massive

Whilst the 8 is physically much larger than the 6 it does not feel it on the road. Maneuvering (sp) is not too bad as the parking sensors are excellent but yes, car parks can be interesting!
My previous 8 was a chipped 3.0TDi which I thought was quick but this has really taken it to a new level. To quote Mrs D last night, "sh*tting hell this is quick!!" A phrase I have never ever heard her use before.
Just deciding whether to chip or remap soon. Quite fancy the Superchips Bluefin job. Anyone got any experience with this.
I will try and get some photos up later today whilst the weather is still good and it is newly polished.
