I was hanging around Don Rosen, looking for the S4 advertised in the Inky (20v in-line 5 turbocharged and intercooled Quattro, only available with 5-speed, 240 bhp stock with lots of aftermarket tweaks available ). It was about 4 or 5 years old and he wanted $40,000 for it. Funny what you can rationalize when passion gets the better of you. The A8 had just come out, and it was a beautiful beast. I haven't seen them around much. Must be a total flop? But I've never seen the "totally tweaked" version of the A8, the S8 until I saw Ronin. I love sleeper cars.I know your car. I owned the CS 5000 turbo sedan with the "detuned" S4 engine. They had to change the marque to "200" because there was this little problem with "sudden full-throttle acceleration". It happend to me three times while I owned the car (187,000 miles when I sold it to an Audi mechanic), but I was aware of the problem and only once had a bit of a go of it on the way home from a ski trip after running South on the NE extension for an hour or so I went thru the toll both in Landsdale at over 8000 rpms. That was exciting. You had to be very fast with the kill switch if you owned one of those cars. But I still consider it one of the three best cars I've ever owned (1970 Datsun 240z, and my current station wagon).
I've never driven a BMW, and now I don't think I could because I don't have the personality for it. I'm stuck with my sleeper wagon. Nobody expects a Volvo with two kiddy seats to be smoking all four tyres when the light goes green. It's a gas!
I see you know your cars. Have you ever driven the big Jag? God what a ride! I'm almost old enough to pass for a Jag owner. I wonder if Ford has ruined them? Can't imagine any V8 that's as silky smooth as the 12. What am I talking about? My next car will be a wheelchair with a colostomy bag on the side.
