Not too bad on contract hire with maintenance Lee :wink: I found the 4.2 less torquey and less economical so stayed with the V6.

Cheers,

Get a 2YR old Allroad, spend the rest on something special, Nobel, TT, classic car etc.

Why would you want to put money into an A8 and watch it run off? Unless you buy a 2 year old one.
Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

BTW
Jason i can thourghly recommend a caterham !!!!
Drive a modified TDv8 as my daily driver, and its best part of 60K so not going to fit budget, Damion has the best idea, Allroad is brilliant car and two year old one will have lost half its value by now.

I drove the RRtdv8 and yes the engine is fantastic but really dissapointed with the lack of space up front, we have a x5 3.0d sport which has far more room up front. Found the interior quality a bit naff too.

Cars taken without owners consent needs to be stopped ,
there are "toys" out there that can help , :P

If you get carjacked , get out of the car run away and dont look back ( stay safe is the most important ) then sent an SMS to the box in the car and hey presto the car stops, locks the doors and triggers the alarm ,
(or anything else you choose to connect to the relays in the box)
so the driver is now a tiny fish in a bowl where before he was pond scum
