Adrian I can't believe you sold it! I must have been asleep I only just noticed this thread.
Good luck with the house move and with the new car when it arrives. Like Tintin said you never know, 8's are like a boomerang

As Arnie said (sort of) - "He'll be back".
 What area are you hoping to move to Adrian?

 so we're in for the long haul now. The house we'll be moving to will have a double garage, so toys can be accommodated Quote:

After 49 days of being depressingly car-less, pick up the replacement wheels tomorrow
Been toying with a few options along the 'sensible' lines - looked at possibly an Abarth 595, but too small; new Focus ST-3 but couldn't live with the ride quality, or the tightness of the front seats. Settled on a VW Golf as being the right size compromise of not too small/not too big. Briefly debated Mk6 R vs Mk7 GTI but David (DJS on here) reckoned the Mk7 is the better car and talked me out of it Finding a Mk7 GTI (naturally the 'Performance Pack' with LSD and extra 10bhp, bigger brakes) with leather has proved problematic but put a deposit on a lovely spec 1 year old one today and it's got all the toys I wanted, plus a few more!

Well done, still VAG!
Hi Adrian,
Hope you'll still be a contributor to the A8 Forum... Really do hope the Golf works for you but find it hard to imagine you will form the emotional bonds as before... I would now buy VAG just to be able to exhibit at the most amusingly named car show ever.... STRAIGHT OUT OF KEMPTON!  As others have said, A8s are Boomerangs...  Robert PS, Am taking public transport to Edinburgh to buy an LPG Mazda tomorrow! I didn't know I was doing that until 6:30 pm this evening...

Hi Adrian,
Has your buyer joined the forum - or have I missed a thread/post?
