i'll stick with my 6 cyl......25mpg easy on my normal 7 mile commute, give me a decent journey and 36+ is do-able. All the comfort, all the quiet, all the toys....slightly less pain at the pump.

Something isn't right for you to get that - unless you are hoofing it on your short journies

ETA - no car will give anywhere near it's official MPG when warming up.

I really don't like LPG. I run mine on V Power. I know where I stand with petrol, LPG gauges aren't as accurate as I like. I don't know where the filling stations are, very slight performance reduction, takes up too much boot space, makes engine bay look crap, stupid filler thing in my bumper. Sorry, I'll stop now. Just remembered I'm trying to sell this car, I'd make such a crap salesmen

Id buy your car tomorrow if I had more cash to spare (have to factor traveling to england and bringing it back also), love the look of it and everything you've done to it.
Is it quattro?

I think you would call his car an S8 Quattro "plus" - only the v5 says differently

Yeah, it's quattro. If you took it with standard 18" wheels and the standard sat Nav without the Bluetooth and TV and maybe standard rather then twin Xenons I could come down on price. If it doesn't go this week then that's what the plan is.

Haha I like that, but quattro is spelt with a small 'q' just a branding thing I think like eBay rather then Ebay...

Think that would ruin what is a beautiful motor.
Like I say wish I could meet your price but for now the search goes on.

Hope you do get it sold soon though
