Very nice - like a mini PF S8, right down to the wheels...

They are very quick cars. I had mine tuned to over 400hp and 600nm of tourque! Mine was in Merlin purple which is not a common colour for these. I'm sure you'll have plenty of fun... and boost issues!

It's strange how you can be so wrong and so right in just one post. Merlin is an excellent colour for a B5, but as for the grey, you're entitled to your opinion, but you're wrong!

Thanks for the kind words guys sorry such a long time since I’ve touched base on here, b5 ownership is fun and eventful, currently running nearly twice the power over standard now , so much fun to drive, externally the car is still the same apart from being slightly lower and on different wheels.
Much more expensive to own than a A8 by the way too, I’m currently involved in a group of lads called edition noggy, and we purchased a Nogaro D2, unfortunately admin on here broke the only(?) nogaro d2 s8 but we shall transform the puny 2.8 into something more exciting Come back for some more info regarding souping up the d2

And, as you say, with MJ's help it's unlikely to stay a puny 2.8 for long.... That's my green S8 lurking in the background.

You were late, I was away quickly while most were still inside - family waiting for me!
