what a bitchy playground place this part appears to be

I thinks its ok wouldnt want it myself but I can see the appeal I suppose. Saying "why buy an A8 if you want a car that handles" is the same as saying "why add a 1200w stereo to an A8". Its not going to be comfortable listening to music that loud so it wouldn't matter if it was a Saxo or a limo at any rate.

It's his car, i'm sure he enjoys it and I guarantee it turns heads irrespective of the reason

Eh. What, just because not everyone likes it we're being bitchy.

I dont get how its a nice motor. Its a bottom of the range, debadged A8 with coilovers and alloys.

It's not just big saloons that get the VIP treatment:

I knew there was a reason I bought the Estima

That looks much better.... than poverty spec, with old mercedes alloys.

Quite how you can call a 4.2 litre Audi V8 'poverty spec' is beyond me...that's like calling an S-class a base model.

Well it seems to be what rappers do to Rolls Royces

And what Drug dealers do to Celciors

it looks pretty cool but totally undriveable i bet..

my red mx5 was as low as that when i first got it and i kid you not i actually
got beached on the camber of the road a fair few times...

i went camping in it with r220 and we had to leave the car in some random village as it got stuck on the camber.

speed humps well.. i had to avoid complete areas of the town and plan my route to make sure i wouldnt get stuck again.

wheels suit it well.

Clarkey · 9 Jul 2007 at 12:48

Looks good, completely useless as a car, but looks good

Clarkey · 9 Jul 2007 at 12:54

I dont get why people are going on about the height so much and it being unusable. It barely looks any lower than the standard S8 posted by Fox to me :/

Mine was higher than my overdraft

It's much lower, the actual car is lower than the damn body kit on that S8.
