My new toy!

Heh,

some asked so here's teh details.

As most on here have read, I currently drive a Volvo estate. Its a 200 bhp 2.5 litre turbo witha n LPG conversion. Its also driven the equivilant of to the moon. I've also ownedit longer than any other car in my motoring history. so I'm a bit bored and fancy a change. Also in our lives is that Julie is expecting and as new babies tend to suck teh life out of bank balances we thought it would be better to buy before its born than wait till after. So..............

Welcome to my ownership my new toy.

its got 310 bhp, an engine of 4.2 litres with 8 cylinders in the usual V formation, Rally pedigree 4WD

its got an all aluminium space frame chassis, is over 5 metres long, does 0-60 in about 7 seconds and is restricted to 155 mph top speed.

the interior is full leather, has dual zone climate, heated electric seats where even the keys are setup so when you get in it remembers 'your' settings for seat, seat belt and mirrors, elctrical headrests, electric rear sunblinds and top quality stereo. It has a 5 speed automatic with tiptronic gearchange and new cost more than 50 THOUSAND pounds.

Its also got a very well done quality LPG system fitted.

So what is it?


its an Audi A8 4.2 Quattro SPORT.

Luxo barge of amazing quality but 4WD monster of back lanes when the feeling takes you.

Pictures to follow when I've washed, clay'd and polished it

Let’s know how you get on with that tiptronic box. I have the same in my A4 2.5TDI Quattro ( only 180 bhp )
The box will have a “sport” mode on it but in the regular “drive” mode it has what Audi call Dynamic shift programme ( DSP) if the car is driven moderately the electronics engage a different shift setup than if you drive a little more briskly. On occasion it feels as though there are about 10 gears there and it just cant decide which one it wants. Dunno if I like it or not…best keep it in “sport” mode

Re: My new toy!

heh, mines got a torson system, the haldex only came in with the TT

Not had chance for a proper play yet ( insurance only started yesterday ). I'm looking forward to building up to her(only an idiot thinks they can jump in one of these types of cars and 'use' it straight away, i've never driven a performance AWD before for example so some learning to do there! )
