I'm not sure launch control is available on pre-facelift? Will have to read the manual when we get it! Not intending to make too much use of it, but will be extending the warranty in case the gearbox grenades!

 Although based on last couple of nights with sprog and mrs both sick as parrots I'm not convinced I'll be sleeping much anyway!

 Although the sick as a parrot reference turned out to be a little too accurate! Kai threw up on way up there (diverted via North London to collect a tyre) so jane spent the rest of the day sniffing puke! Needless to say it was on fumes so first few miles getting to nearest Shell were a bit nerve racking! Got 60 litres into a 64 litre tank so hopefully the light just gives plenty of warning lol Drive back was ok but traffic queue for qe2 bridge was about 6 miles! Have it full beans away from the toll barriers and it really does shift! Makes a nice bang out of the exhausts on up changes Overall really pleased - annoyed with myself as missed fact it didn't have a piece of spec I wanted (adaptive damping ) but it rides pretty well on 20s without it which is probably why I didn't notice! Wheels need a refurb but that can wait till the tyres are shot. Looking at 18 and 19" winters so will get the 20s done when they're off the car Will look at proper detailing options after our august hols - can't see the point getting it done before 2 weeks of tiny lane driving in Cornwall! Going to a pistonheads south east evening meet next week so will try and grab some pics with redhill aerodrome as a backdrop

Adrian, what a beautiful car. I do like the look of A5s, very aggressive/sporty look.
I really like the 3 little cut outs at the bottom below the front grill. I know its a small detail, but I like it. Now every Audi seems to have it where with D3s you could only have it if splash loads of extra dosh on S8, really annoys me coz D3 looks so much better with these little cut out. Rear is beautiful. Black is always stunning. Well known and loved wheels design. Stunning car. Are you actually so nice to your wife or you just got another toy for your self ??

I may have been involved in finding it but my wife is solely responsible for the purchase cost! I'm very good at spending other people's money lol
We're down in Cornwall putting some miles on the car - fuel consumption so far has been dreadful  need to see what next full delivers as that'll be the tank without the roof box on!

Nothing better then picking amazing toy and giving bill to someone else
How about economy remap instead of performance one as LPG is just pointless??
