D2 in a drag race??
 
If my nearest opponent was 20 years younger and fitter I would expect to get beaten too! :ROFL:

Doesn't tell us anything we didn't know, but confirms just how good and long-lasting the D2 is. And why put an S3 in the mix? :Confused:
Maybe with MJs brake block support it would have done better in the final challenge?

Also, a very familiar numberplate. :tuttut:

And a DSG gearbox?

Whats the story with the numberplate HP? This part of AUDI UK's collection?

Isn't that D2 S8 part of the Audi Heritage collection

Yeah. Why they chose that worn-out no-spec example for their 'heritage collection' I have no idea. They could at least have got one of the low mileage ones, or Ian's pre-FE.

I wonder what Audi UK will do when it breaks a spring, or when they need an air filter for it? :ROFL:

Tell themselves we don’t support models over 20 years old and perhaps to try and see if the aftermarket can help? Because that’s always fun to hear when you need replacement bolts...... :ROFL::ROFL::ROFL:

How often do you find yourself in a drag race?
How often do you find yourself looking at your car?
The D2 still looks the bollocks and for me that's what matters +++

Well said Nick +++

Quite right, our Leon Cupra R is miles quicker than the S8 but it does not have the same prescence, character nor V8 noise!

:ROFL: +++
And, also, how many times do you find SOMEONE ELSE looking at your car?
