Default Post a picture of your ultimate motor.

Something realisticly achievable, my goal in the next 2/3 years is to have one of these. A sprint blue RS 6 plus to keep my D2 company. A nice dream currently.

One day, wouldn't mind one of these (not Audi I'm afraid!):





(Pics not very big, but the best I could find).

Been a fan of this manufacturer for many years (20 plus) and one day....

hmm hope you dont keep that sock in the sock drawer with the others ewww!!

I just met with a mate of mine this week who got rid of his D2 A8 and bought a Phaeton as it was "more bang for your buck!" im happy to report he says that while its ok it is a bit boring and that he still prefers his old D2. Hes gonna get a V10 S8 next so im looking forwards to that!

I was up in the Highlands last weekend and a quattroporte parked next to me. Long, low, beautiful - I have always said that if I won the lottery I would buy one...
