Very nice - like a mini PF S8, right down to the wheels...

Boy, I remember test driving one of these things with a friend some years ago... They're lovely!

They are very quick cars. I had mine tuned to over 400hp and 600nm of tourque! Mine was in Merlin purple which is not a common colour for these. I'm sure you'll have plenty of fun... and boost issues!

Running around the 400BHP mark by the end! It was a very capable yet subtle weapon!

It's strange how you can be so wrong and so right in just one post. Merlin is an excellent colour for a B5, but as for the grey, you're entitled to your opinion, but you're wrong!

I'm always wrong. I have to be as there are loads of them out there.

Thanks for the kind words guys sorry such a long time since I’ve touched base on here, b5 ownership is fun and eventful, currently running nearly twice the power over standard now , so much fun to drive, externally the car is still the same apart from being slightly lower and on different wheels.

Much more expensive to own than a A8 by the way too, I’m currently involved in a group of lads called edition noggy, and we purchased a Nogaro D2, unfortunately admin on here broke the only(?) nogaro d2 s8 but we shall transform the puny 2.8 into something more exciting

Come back for some more info regarding souping up the d2

Saw that the other day up at Buddies before the Edition Noggy meet.

And, as you say, with MJ's help it's unlikely to stay a puny 2.8 for long....

That's my green S8 lurking in the background.

We have met before your s8 was lovely too by the way

I was late to the meet due to a few beers the night before.

I’m currently on the case for the 4.2
