Well picked up my 2003 Audi A8 4.2 with LPG yesterday. And the car has a bit of a twist....
It's my old car I brought back in 2006 and LPG'd and ran for a long while. It's the one I should never of sold and so pleased to have it back. Thanks to Mark for selling it back to me and looking after her!!
I've owned 5 D3's now, 3 x 4.2's, 1 x 3.0TDi and 1 x S8 V10. And for some reason the first one is still my favourite. I loved the V10, the spec the noise... but it was lacking 2 turbos IMO. Where this 4.2 is just what it is, nippy, smooth, torquey and just a damn nice car
Very very pleased. Some work to do on her, fitted new discs the other day and off to A8 Parts on Monday for new caliper, oil level sensor and a few other bits.
It was quite special picking it up again, I expected never to see it again and really pleased with it's conditions. It needs some interior spring clips etc. But she drives very well. The 4.2 Litre V8 non-FSI engine is a true peach.
Plans:
Paintwork to front end
New rear caliper
New level sensor
Wheels refurbed
Upgrade 1 of the playstations to an android setup
Fit AMI
Fit Bluetooth
Enjoy it and never sell it again
Few pics and I will send some more up later for when I brought it way back in 2006.
