'twas me - was using Tesco '95, but with lowish miles and just had service and cambelt change by Ben so running very well
All the runs were below 15.1 - overall about 4th best (beat a few S8's)

I've sooooooooooo been trying not to respond to this but I'll have to.
For those of you whose Mathematical Skills are not so hot. LOOK  A8 15.15s @ 94.35mph. Reaction 1.13s Andy S8 15.08s @ 94.30mph. Reaction 1.55s Me I let Andy go first so the wife could get a better shot of the car off the start (that is my racing driver excuse and I'm sticking to it)  .Even though I left the strip second, I recorded the fastest time. Still have to give Darren his due though, always consistently fast.

i just looked at my times and all my runs were about 14 and a half seconds. i dont know why i was that bit quicker. recently ben(avp) drove my car and said it was the most responsive s8 he had driven and recons it has been re-mapped. i would like to know if it has been mapped so it saves me money havin it done again with no benifit. the only way that i know how to check is to test if the speed limiter has been removed but to do that i would have to find a road long enough to exceed 155mph
