W12... Oh my God... I'm on pins and needles to see pictures!

Question to Darren: When cruising on highest gear at 2000RPM what would be the speed? Very interested in gearbox ratio for such powerful engine...

Is is A8 or S8?

Hi Guy,

Wow, must be very quiet car too.

Car insurance is a rip off in this country. Obligatory rip off. Especially for W12 guys

I think my insurance is pretty reasonable. Considering.

Hopefully renewal won't have me eating my words

mine is not bad either, but then I have a wardrobe full of clothes older than Guy (daviesbike) which probably helps
