Same! Been in Lymington/Lyndhurst the last 2 days so the Hampshire roads round those parts are just great. I do need to buy a wind deflector though, motorway driving roof down is fine at 65, but any more and wind does chill the back of the neck

Yeah motorway = windows up and blowers on full blast in my face at 28° whilst watching all my receipts and **** blowing all out of the car

Rybo, I know we all jest about black wheels here but that car looks lovely and it'd look sooo much lovelier with silver wheels

It's just being arsed to do it. With the mondeo I just put it on bricks and dropped the alloys off and picked them up when I could be arsed a week later. No chance i am putting the bmw on bricks. There's a option to leave my car with the company which costs £100 more and for some reason takes longer. Ide just be thinking all week what's being banged and scraped down my car lol.

got bored and fancied a v10 again, good value for money tbh

the interior while is now out of date, would not be out of place on a 13/14 car its really very nice

Rybo89 · 14 Apr 2016 at 22:30

Welcome to A8 ownership! They are so much car for the money now!

Still loving mine 3 years on:

Not a motor as such but the dyno results from the initial mapping on my boring grey Audi estate. The map still needs fine tuning so expect either a little more i.e. 10hp-20nm as they add another 500rpm or a little less if they map in a bit more mid-range grunt at the expense of top end figures.

It's making 920hp and 1130nm (830ft/lbs) so far

Step aside ianh, lets get some turbos on that W12!

But in seriousness, holy ****! :eek:

That is pretty insane!

So spend £20 on some axle stands

You're silly. That's silly. Very silly.

I want to have a go.

Oh my word, none of those things are naff hatchbacks.

We should have a chart of who in motors has the biggest engine, most bhp etc

BUT LOOK HOW MUCH BETTER IT LOOKS

Rybo89 · 15 Apr 2016 at 09:00

It doesn't match my uzi though

Akagi · 15 Apr 2016 at 10:02

That looks 1000 times better.

Does anyone in Motors have more than 920 (perhaps soon to be 930) horsepower?

What the **** have you done to it? I remember a passenger ride in this a couple of years back, you came out in my MPS.

Having been subjected to it in 730 hp trim, trust me, you do not.

Looking forward to seeing it at the next meet!

well saying that is a bit crazy, taste is a very subjective thing

I'd say I probably prefer it with black wheels.. I'd go in the middle and get gunmetal gray.

Are you changing the gearing at all?

Akagi · 15 Apr 2016 at 13:06

Its already geared for over 200MPH and 0 - 60 in probably 3 seconds judging from the previous performance with 200 less HP, so I'm sure it will be fine.
