Cool Audi A/S8 Owners & their Work!

Hi everyone,

The title has brought you this far probably out of curiosity more than anything and it's something that I did on a previous car forum that proved to be invaluable to it members. This thread was reminded to me after the "Flappy Paddles!" thread where it reminded me in times gone by when the Evo owners wanted a harness bar better than the existing manufactured ones, and the changes made to suit us the users, the only way to do it would be to make it ourselves and this of course was easy as we simply referred to the Traders thread and found all of the members who added themselves to the thread as Fabricators or welders, or metal merchants, and using a combination of it's members the club managed to supply a harness bar that not only was perfect in design, but cost wise it beat everything on the market and more over it created work for it's few members that got involved... This worked for everything from car electrics to some of the female members using decorators in the area, all of this from using a "What is you trade!" type thread. So knowing how good it was I thought that I would start one here, which is for the sake of listing purposes, your Username, the area of where you work (as apposed to live) and the type of work that you do with a brief explanation.

So I'll Start and allow others to follow.

LordHefner / Transporter / England and Wales.
I drive various enveloped contracts/Bunches of Keys for estate agents, A collection of serviced watches from high end jewelers, Solicitors often use me for envelopes, I also move about managing directors of three companies in Cornwall, as well as vulnerable Children from safe house, to social rehabilitation programs or crown courts. Airport collection and Today I drove to Bristol Airport and back.

So if anyone needs to move anything the size of my boot between two places that is too valuable or time specific to trust to the regular couriers then I'm your man.

Regards, Mark.

Model: MY 2008 08 3.0TDI Quattro Sport, Black on Black (Transporter Edition) Lowered 60mm on drop link bars. Alloys swapped out to RS6 style 20" x 9.5". It's got full tints on all windows, and has the black leather interior. Remapped by Elite Automotive in Cornwall, giving an increase output to 290bhp/450lbs.

Options: Keyless Entry & Start, Bluetooth Hands Free, Quad Zone Climate, 3 Spoke Sports Tiptronic Multi Function Steering Wheel, Black Leather Comfort Seats, AMI, Drivers & Passenger Electric Memory Seats, Auto Dimming Mirrors, Bi-Xenons.

Future Plans:
Selling my current Audi A8 Quattro Sport and replace is with a newer D4 Audi A8L with the 4.2V8 Twin Turbo setup once again it must be black. I'm looking for one with the options added where it has the rear recliing seats, with heated outers. Bose speakers minimum and B&O's if affordable. Rear and back door sun blinds prefered.

Planned Mods:
Upon the arrival of my A8L D4, I will be once again having the ECU remapped to a performance setting over economy. Rear Tints as dark as can go whilst also tinting the front windows with a medium tint. Once again I will be purchasing lowering links for the air ride suspension and setting it at 55mm lower when in comfort as my desire rideheight over standard. Alloys will be 21" however the one current most likly to be the next car already has a brand new set of 2016 S8Plus wheels on it.
