Sorry old chap... buying an R6 tomorrow, so all my available
spondoolies are allocated to that.

Does it feel at all like a 300bhp/400nm (295lbs/ft) car, that lurches to 60 
in just under 7 seconds?  Or is it a case of  "Oh, I'm doing 120, I better 
slow down..." ?  To be fair the performance figures aren't bad at all 
considering they weigh over 1800kg with a driver on board, dread to think 
how much they weigh when the, no doubt huge, fuel tank is full!  I bet you 
can get over £100 of fuel in it these days can't you?  Although, PeteM once 
said to me the best engines to drive are petrols where the bhp and lbs/ft 
are nearly the same hehe :-)

I looked up the performance figures cos I was just interested as Lord Doug 
had been talking to me about his mates S8 (which in earlier 340bhp was only 
0.3s faster to 60, and only had 40bhp-7lbs/ft more).  Even the later S8s 
with 360bhp were only 0.5s faster to 60 than the humble A8 4.2 Quattro Auto 
TimoMobile :-)

Just as a matter of interest Timo, on the off chance - have you ever taken 
it to the 155 limiter?  If so, did it actually exist?  Because on Top Gear 
etc it's often suggested Audis go well beyond where the limiter should be - 
TG RS6 review for example, not the new V10 job, the previous 450bhp one, 
Clarkson mentions doing 170 on their runway!

Heh, that would be my mate's S8.  He's been banding about that it has 
380bhp and that it is Turbocharged.  I've just bothered my arse to read 
about it and you're right Dan, on paper it's not that much more 
impressive than a normal 4.2 V8.

However, my mate's is still amusingly brisk.  It costs about £90 to 
fill.  Timo's is no doubt similar.

Well, these days it can cost noticeably more than 90 quid to fill (it's
got a 90l tank). But then again, that'll get you about 500 miles of
driving...

FFS, my ol' 2.0 XM used to take 80-85 litres...

I don't need to email that to you...

Seen the bit under the heading that says "no reserve"?

:-O

Taking a bit of a risk, aren't you?

Not exactly the most financially attractive of vehicles in the current 
climate. :-S

Yes and no. If it doesn't work at this price I can always bump up the
price but I'm more interested in selling it to reduce the number of
vehicles so I have to take a hit on price.

> Not exactly the most financially attractive of vehicles in the current

Indeed. Hence the low starting price.

No, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that sometimes I get the
price wrong and the car appears to be too cheap, so people assume it's a
steaming pile. So if it doesn't sell I'll put it back on with a reserve
or a higher starting price to "suggest" that it's a better car.

> Tell you, what, sell it to me for £500 and I'll keep shtum...

You're too generous :)

Ok, ok, if that's the case, I'll give you £400 :-)

Ah... but I think it *might* possibly sell, for the start price. ;-)
