Chippy63 Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 I had to choose the Mx5 to sell. Although the Merc isn't as much fun around corners the folding metal roof and AC makes it a great all rounder. Obviously the Stag is a keeper.

The A8 was especially drippy..... but that’s widdling on someone else’s land now Still going though; saw it the other day - heard it first, the exhaust has been, err, altered and it sounds like the muscle car it really is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 1700 kg IIRC. 300 bhp and AWD...... 6.9secs to 60, but just keeps on going after that........ accelerates like a jet on take-off run - relentless. I never found the end of it...... or even close...... as apparently they are limited to 155...... And this was a well-used and somewhat distressed example. The S8 (D2) has 365 bhp and is shorter geared so 0 - 60 in 5.4 seconds. If I had another it would be the 2.8 2WD. Only 193 bhp but also only about 1450kgs, so still respectably rapid (low 8s to 60) and just as good at wafting around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She reckons its where the gear shift cables go into the gearbox and has shown me photos of past owners bodges to fix it. Can always see where she has parked and with a bit of knowledge can tell how long ago Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
