Nightfall Blue S2

Yes the circuit days event. Weather is looking good for now but we’re a long way out still for accurate forecasts!
I think there’s a pretty big jump in performance from the early v8s to the DSG v10s, where many say the v8 seems to still be enjoyable on the road without fear of being put in prison immediately.

So “buy the V10” is what you’re saying? :mrgreen:

Had a fantastic day out yesterday at Silverstone on the GP circuit. I’ve now driven the car for 2 days and the CEL hasn’t come back so I will put that as a success for the sensor spacer.

The car ran faultlessly all day and I became more confident with both track and car, what an amazing piece of kit this is. I’m still thinking about selling it though, the advert might go live this week.

Here’s a quick lap with a bit of traffic from the day:

:thumbup: Car seemed to be going well, good lap.

Very nice lap indeed - well done mate! :clap:

Thanks, I don’t know if it was a good idea but I’ve decided to advertise the car. The advert is now live on Pistonheads Classifieds.

My car was for sale at a speculatively high price for a few weeks in early December. I pulled the advert while I was away over Christmas but I think it’ll be going back up next week at a new price. In preparation I had the man come over to clean it and perform a light machine polish, then took some nicer photos. I’m still unsure if this is the right decision - I still love the car. And I’m struggling to find somewhere to test drive the potential replacement which is making me nervous I’ll regret selling.

:sunglasses: Looks wonderful!! It’d be a huge shame to see it go, but you’ve got to follow your heart…

She’s looking good Andy! :sunglasses::+1:

Don’t do it! :wink:

What are you changing to Paul? (Sorry if I’ve missed that above).

Me? I am interested in the early v8 Audi R8.

Yes sorry!

Oh fair enough chap. Few doors down has one, they seem good value nowadays.

:frowning: :frowning: :frowning: It’s gone, sold within a week of the advert going live and collected this morning. Very sad to see it go!

Thought you might be interested for me to round off this story. I just picked up my new car yesterday and drove it 4 hours home through a storm

It’s a 2007 Audi R8 V8 manual with a Top Gear F1 valved exhaust system. The noise is otherworldly.

Fantastic, congratulations :thumbup:

Trackdays booked?!

I’m working on it!

Great looking car!. Mrs Thommo is a big fan but failed to persuade her to buy one to replace her TT :blush:

Looks awesome, Andy! Looking forward to meeting up again at another track day! :thumbup:
