Do I need to wear hi-tops and run a tinny house to drive it, though?

Nah, that's for scumbags in their dumped Lexus' (Lexuses ? Lexii ? where's Alan Partridge when you need him ?) with blingy chrome wheels and tinted windows.

Black Audis are for Asians in dark suits with missing fingers...

We don't have any of those in the south - you are welcome to keep those that you already have, up there :D

Does that mean I have to continue hiding my black/black leather '88 200q ex-embassy sedan under wraps in the barn?

You hide whatever you like inthe barn.

Personally, I like the A8. S8 has been a bit of a dream car for me for many years...have a pic of one on my office wall as a bit of motivation.

If anyone is looking at this,i suggest a pre-inspection check.Has had airbag light on problems,rear blind was faulty,front indicator lenses were broken.I looked at it when the owner was trying to sell it for 5.5K but was not prepared to budge on the price even though it needs around 2K+ spent on it(cambelt was done @ 120K,so due soon).Front tyres worn.Has had power steering recond.(pump),new rear rotors,pads.Work done by A1 Auto Services on Fitz.Ave.No service history on transmission,which would be a high priority if you decided to purchase.Hope this helps.

Just the cover ?

All I see is a hole on the drivers side where a washer nozzle used to be.

Schiester probably doesn't even know its missing.

No excuse though as there is a noticeable VAG presence in his yard.

He called and priced up the washer jet earlier. Also needs rear shocks, $3800 each for the self levelling ones that it requires  :o so he is going to try and find some non self levelling ones...

abt 500  ...    >:D



Yeah the A8, S8 and even S6s are a natural progression for us ...


or a well cared for older V8 or 20 v.
