Bloody impressive list, Guy!! Yeah, it's an animal, it nearly lost me my license on Sunday, recorded at 66% over the limit. Luckily the copper was in a good mood.

I did this in the soaking wet, with a passenger, 0-60 in 4 secs dead and 0-100 in 9.6! I kept getting wheel spin or I'm confident I could get it down to 3.8 and 9.3. That's faster than most supercars DB9's etc... Proof below, the Pbox is the most accurate way of getting 0-60, 0-100 times and is what motor manufactures use.

I also have only ever driven 2

1. D2 3.7 QS which I test drove when first looking - I found it a bit under-powered (sorry )
2. D2 4.2 QS bought October 2006, scrapped June 2011

Yeah, you're welcome to have a drive buddy, you know where I am just give me a heads up if you're in the area and I'll let you know if I'm free. Reffro drove it when it was standard at 480/660, now it's different animal at 535/844. The W12 actually felt slow when I drove it (which of course it isn't) it's a mixture of a little more refinement and a little less power than my plus.
Here's what happened when Darren challenged me in his W12.

Just the three for me, a 52 plate black S8 which was fantastic and nearly tempted me into spending £25k (it was around 8 years ago) followed by the PF 4.2 QS which I still own. The only other was a 2007 S8 with B&O etc and very low miles which I promised myself (it was owned by a dealer friend) but it went up for sale just after we'd spent a fortune on the house, so alas I missed it.

I'll own one one day.

Oh, and he's a car dealer before you ask.......

Just driven one - my old D2 4.2 V8.

That's the only Audi I've ever driven. I think it's the only Audi I've ever sat in as well!
