None unfortunately. He’s not huge into social media or forums, but uses Instagram from time to time.
To be honest when he first told me he had a manual S8 and he was in the UK I didn’t believe him. But then I saw a few videos of it driving and the engine tone on gear changes sounded nothing like the ZF equipped cars and that’s when I thought “ok, this guy is the real deal”.
He did the conversion about 4 years ago apparently using a LHD Audi S6 from continental Europe as the donor car. I’m not sure how much fabrication had to go into. We keep saying we want to meet up but we’ve been in lockdown for a while now. Once the weather warms up and the restrictions lift I might take a trip up to see him and try and get some pictures.
