pf a8 delight to drive

[RanjS8]

For the past few weeks I ve been using the s4 for work.....but this week I decided to take the a8.....so far this week been to Trowbridge and Kettering from Coventry.....

I have to say even though it is now 13 yrs old....and sometimes plays funny buggers with the gearbox....it just cruises so well....and the seats are so comfortable....love the little extension bit on the seat under the knees....

But i think the best thing about these cars is the fact they hold the road in any weather condition and to the unaware there is so much hidden power.....(had an annoying peugeot diesel driver come up behind and start flashing his lights in heavy third lane traffic....to which i quite happily obliged by slowing down a little and when the traffic cleared...put my foot down and left him sitting still)

I bought the car a year ago with lpg for 2.5k....spent 1500 here and there with mods and maintenance....and its given me 25000 miles of joy....every so often i think let it go and get a newer diesel....but then I think for what I d get in return in terms of price for this now and what i would have to pay to get similar joy and comfort....I just cant move on....

So in short....so glad audi made this car from aluminium cos there isnt much out there which compares to the a8 even after a decade of new technology!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
