may well get bestowed the S8 GUD number plate shortly!

That plate has been burning a hole in the back of your brain for many years! :ROFL:

But how will you cope with the extra 500 normally-aspirated cc's...….

I've experienced Neil's driving and expect he will waft as smoothly as ever, the pro he is, no matter how many cc's or BHP's nestle under his finely calibrated right foot.

Can't say for certain, but it may well be this one here with the S8 plate.

Congratulations Neil, looks like you got a lovely well looked after example, let's hope we can see it soon when all this Covid malarky is over +++

Beverley reminded me the other day that it looked like we had 5 big black identical-looking cars there, but actually they were all different and I don't think any were black!

Thanks David - I'll try to rotate all of the cars fairly so none get too jealous! I havent even mentioned the A2 1.6 FSi Sport I just bought in Dolphin Grey with a Votex Body Kit and the seperate Red leather interior which is going into it . . . . :o

I still think he has a size fixation, needs some therapy I think :ROFL:
I've had many engine sizes and BHPs but his memory is also probably fading as he gets older :D

Thank you Nick - as above I've already had the joyful arrival of a baby D2, its called an A2! :D

Not in the least - I actually quite like the plate which is on the car its an MK plate which probably means the car was first registered by Audi UK at Milton Keynes, and the letters are FFE . . .Fantastic Final Edition! :love:

Perhaps you've caught Ians condition as well Andrew? :p

Why thank you kind sire . . . .and as TinTin will attest this also presents itself as much improved MPG when I want it to as well! +++

I think Nick's D3 S8 was Metallic black but it was hard to tell due to being mostly covered in sand!

Really? :Confused:
It would appear for now that he's gone down a darker route (BMW)
Come on Brian - sort him out!! +++

:ROFL: Funniest thing I've heard today. At some point, maybe, but not for a while, I suspect...:rolleyes:

Sad to see you leave the D2 fold David, but I’m happy you still have the Audi S5 :D

That is a stunning TR6 you have there. My Dad has a Tahiti Blue Triumph Stag which he’s been slowing doing up over the past 18 months. He gets more looks in that than any other car he drives. You will find the same thing for you in the TR6 I’m sure ;)

Neil, congrats on the purchase. I’ve seen David’s FE in person when we met at the Black Swan Breakfast club and it’s a fine example. You’ve chosen well +++
