Love these! shame they are so hard to find though

I'll have a look at the S4 too, but sadly I'm not a good mechanic and I don't have very deep pockets either so I doubt I'll go for one of these.

Got the other problem of getting rid of my own car first

Could always get the a4 b5 and do a v8 conversion off an a8, which seems to be popular... But now we are going into a different price story

why not a remmapped a3 1.8tqs, can them about 2.5k cheaper than an s3, but its style you want then obviously thats a no go.

Sounds like it would be awesome, but mega money, and I'm trying to free up some cash to buy a house.

I suppose a car with a good enough spec would do the job too.

My list is getting longer and longer

Here's more on a V8 B5 conversion: http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/project-room/79781-v8-into-a4-b5-ii.html

Its shocking the v8 conversion, I was expecting the v8 to be huge, bit in comparison to the 1.8T its not that big:

My girlfriend has a black V6 4mo, heated leather recaro's and all that jazz, Its a lovely car to drive! quicker than I expected it to 'feel', sounds awesome and the only downside is she only does about 5 miles a day in it and its a waste of a car really! Will probably move it on around easter time and replace it with something more boring but practical for her daily commute.

That V8 is a still fair size.

Quite interesting, but not for me. Too much hassle and would be too expensive to get someone to do it for me

Top choices so far are still the V6 4mo Golf and now the W8 Passat

My bloody alternator has just given up - on a bleeding Bank Holiday of all times!

Rats!
