Congratulation on you purchase Andy - a fine looking motor. You have a Username that's familiar to me. Have you spent time around any other forums by any chance? ST165?

andycaca · #13 29th July 2014, 09:10 AM

yes, its me

when i get the car i will throw up a proper introductory post. i still have a ST165, now probably the fastest in the UK and probably europe. ive been competing in the toyota sprint series and am currently second, behind adrian of fensport with his GT86R

the S8 is a bit of refined naughtyness

very nice

what prompted you to turn away from turbo'd japanese cars and into the audi fold?

I grew up (a little bit). I swapped the FAFF (that I'd owned for 6 years) for a B5 S4. I kept that and made it go much faster for 5 years, but I've long pined for a D2 S8. I made that change earlier this year. Much wafty goodness. I love it to bits.

I still find myself looking at 165's though on the odd occasion they come up. My other guilty pleasure is an MA61 Celica Supra, but they're even more rare.

Oh well, just have to put up with the uber package of performance and luxury for now.

To a very good home, he saw the advert on here so will hopefully be along soon to introduce himself.

Didn't see above posts

Nice to meet you today and enjoy your new purchase I take it the 4 hour drive home was enjoyable

andycaca · #20 9th August 2014, 07:50 PM

yes the drive home cross-country was fun, once i did the first few miles in a totally strange car (never driven an auto, as i said). then my tomtom didnt want to pick up any satellites so that was a bit worrying

but i got it all working in the end and got back about an hour ago.

kickdown is fun, the drive home was very educational and i think ive got the cruise control figured out now.
