Wow...umm...well, thanks everybody for the kind words. I sort knew to expect positive comments but I never knew the car would strike a chord with so many people
Some answers to questions:
Nice car, those plates are Estonian? Or Swedish or something? Did it come with full service history?
How's the city gas mileage out of curiosity?
Yes, Estonian plates. They will stay until I pay the import tax and get it registered with Finnish plates. Fuel consumption ? Umm....a lot. I haven't driven it enough to really know, but it's around 12-14L/100km, depending on how heavy your foot is.
Unfortunately no official service history, but the guy I bought it from is a mechanic and there were also receipts from wheel alignments, oil changes etc.
Gorgeous! See if you can find some of the stock 19" BBS rims for it (think last RS4) I think it would make it complete.
Seriously my favorite S8 by far.
Are you referring to these ?
You... have an S8 with a... stick shift... You son of a bitch... you unbelievable son of a bitch... I am all sorts of jealous. I am also pissed off that the US never got those! UGH!
I'm going to take that as a compliment
Not only did we here in the States not have the ability to shift gears for ourselves, our S8s had big chrome mirrors that stuck out like Dumbo's ears!
(Actually, after seeing the chase from the movie, so did the movie car. Either the producers used a US-Spec S8, or the previous owner liked the chrome mirrors as much as I do, and replaced them with mirrors from an A8.)
Nice car. It's hard to tell from the photos - what color is it? It's not dark green is it?
It's black actually and not Forrest Green, which would've made it perfect. The chromed mirrors isn't a US-spec thing - most S-models have them, including the S8. But it was possible to have your S8 with bodycoloured mirrors as well, obviously an option my car has. I actually like the chrome mirrors - I'm a bit anal about that sort of thing: I have this weird fixation that all S- and RS- Audis should have them....they "belong" to those cars.
Though I might change my mind about that at some point.
Again, thank you everyone for the support. I am so happy with the car, especially since the spring and summer were a bit tough time for me.
But one thing does disappoint me: two pages and not a single one comment about cocks ? What's up with that, you disappoint me FG
