I like that guy as well, you can just tell he really needs some good luck!!, It's a shame really as I can do a cambelt change on A8 V8s in my sleep but with the cost of a couple of new heads thats one expensive mistake.

That guy is a very amusing writer!! Hope that he has much more luck at that, than he has had so far.
As for the A8, those are great cars, especially that version (4.2 Quattro). Looks like someone got a bargain.

I'll give him £2500 to take the car out and shoot it!  Seriously though, that guy is what's missing from magazines like Practical Classics, if they hired him they'd sell twice as many copies! |

Yes, they are great motors - pretty quick in 4.2 guise, hugely comfortable (they have electric everything & double glazing!) And are very well made. They also feel quite sporty in the handling department, considering its a big luxo-barge. My mate Matt's 4.2sport..... www.baldrys.co.uk/index3.htmThey do suffer from huge depreciation - my mate brought his for less than £10,000 - compared to the £50k+ price tag when new! Oh & pretty poor fuel economy  Not my sort of thing though  Oh.... and the 155mph speed limiter works!  ;D (....though not tested on a public road, I may add  ) |
