Remember: It's easier to ask for forgiveness afterwards than permission beforehand.

I was a Pongo but at the time I was an Aircraft Technician (Electrics, Instruments & Radio). I had Brylcreems and Fisheads working for me.
I guess that makes me some kind of hybrid

How's the searching going Brian?

This A8 may go for cheap money at auction this Monday.

I've started looking at these again...

http://www.gumtree.com/p/audi/audi-s...ion/1103911505

My Taliban Staff Car (Toyota Land Cruiser) is in for MOT and service at the moment. As soon as its done I'll put it up for sale, and start calling all my debts in!

Still not sure on weather to go for the Newer shape A8 or the older shape S8.

Older shape S8. So cool it hurts.

Fast without being flash; comfortable, practical and in years to come, I bet the good ones will fetch a premium - if they aren't already.

I may be biased.
