He's already done the equivalent of 8.79 times, I think once he's posted his picture of his speedo he can have the glory of the top spot until the next challenger posts their picture showing higher
![]() 1) Snapdragon - 219,000 (Unconfirmed) 2) Scott - 160,000 - Confirmed 3) M-A8 - 149,800 - Unconfirmed) Come on lads, it's a digital age so a photo to confirm these claims should be no problem ![]() On a flip side to this, there is also the possibility of doing the same with the lowest mileage on a D2 and a D3, thought seeing as I can't win the highest mileage contest that I'd try and get myself on the leader board for that instead. ![]() Regards, Mark.

It's got full tints on all windows, and has the black leather interior. Remapped by Elite Automotive in Cornwall, giving an increase output to 290bhp/450lbs. Options: Keyless Entry & Start, Bluetooth Hands Free, Quad Zone Climate, 3 Spoke Sports Tiptronic Multi Function Steering Wheel, Black Leather Comfort Seats, AMI, Drivers & Passenger Electric Memory Seats, Auto Dimming Mirrors, Bi-Xenons. Future Plans: Selling my current Audi A8 Quattro Sport and replace is with a newer D4 Audi A8L with the 4.2V8 Twin Turbo setup once again it must be black. I'm looking for one with the options added where it has the rear recliing seats, with heated outers. Bose speakers minimum and B&O's if affordable. Rear and back door sun blinds prefered. Planned Mods: Upon the arrival of my A8L D4, I will be once again having the ECU remapped to a performance setting over economy. Rear Tints as dark as can go whilst also tinting the front windows with a medium tint. Once again I will be purchasing lowering links for the air ride suspension and setting it at 55mm lower when in comfort as my desire rideheight over standard. Alloys will be 21" however the one current most likly to be the next car already has a brand new set of 2016 S8Plus wheels on it.

I sold my D2 with 191,000 miles on it. The car is still running well, and I am hoping will be at ADI in October.
Not sure on the mileage now, but its been up and down the UK a few times since.

OK, so I was a ~900 miles out
![]() Engine feels like nearly new (only had new injectors and new turbo (blew left/right seal due to driving with blocked DPF)) Auto gearbox feels like new, just 2 oil changes. Front and rear differentials had fluid change at ~190,000 miles (need to do transfer case) Front suspension arms replaced once with mickey mouse bits and next time with TRW. Never had air suspension problems. (touch wood) Wheel bearings are original (touch wood) Best car I every had and not even interested in changing it as it has almost everything most 2014 cars have apart from very exotic stuff.

My D3 just went over 114000 today.
D2 is less at around 111000. No proof as yet (D2 on axle stand waiting to be put back together tomorrow and D3 at a garage having work done!)
