Is this just another way of announcing that you're "coming out" ?

Pretty much the spec I have been after, have you traded it or selling privately?

Hi - I traded it, Ben the owner is ex-Audi. It is the 'cliched' mint condition - also has new yellow stuff pads alround.
Be nice to see it go to a good home 8)

Welcome to the cab world of slagging. Take no notice though, it's brilliant in the summer.

If your local to Sheffield/Dronfield, give me a holler I'm only 3 miles away.

Cheers :)
Having done a 160 mile cross country trip one way in an SS+ Saloon and the return journey in a cab...very comfortable with the decision :wink:
It was more interesting the difference that tyre manufacturer/pressure made to handling....very eye opening!

Glad you like it , it was washed (the two bucket method) every week and vacumed. Never had any problems with it ,only the radiators were replaced under warranty at 6000 miles. My wife used the car mostly, i bet I've only driven it 30 times in the time we had it. To easy to use my van on the drive, especially when it's raining !! I also traded in a Phantom black saloon for it , must be a natural progression !!!

Thanks Rich - The care shows, the paintwork is amazing - I've been waxing it under the daylight Fluorescent tube lights in the garage - not a scratch on it :thumbs:
Black Saloon too.... spooky :)
