I will probably bring a few mates with me, but feel like bringing the Bimmer anyway 0-60 is supposdley 4.9 secs on it now, test it out against the D2s on the autobahns. (I can feel myself becoming more and more unpopular on this forum now!)

Oh, also is anyone going to take a trip down to Necksralum (SP?) where they build the A8/S8? Or Ingolstadt for the factory tour?

I'm not sure you have the right idea of what being part of an Audi 8 series community involves Amar! ...................

NSU is just my home region. Also the R8 is built there.

Amar, do you need a hotel or something? There is a 4 person-room available in "our" hotel. If you could tell me, you take it, the hotel would be *full*.
So the next one, who needs a room, gets another hotel.
Tell me something and I can arrange your rooms.

Chris.

Nor do most other 8 drivers on the road! I saw three diffrent D2s today and flashed at them. The owners stare at me like Anyone else have this? Guy in a 3.7qs drove past me three or four times and he didn't bat an eyelid! Oh and don't get me started about that silver FL silver D2. Wouldn't even let me out a busy juntion!

Edit: Sorry for thread hijack.
