Mine will be for sale shortly, not even removed from the box but that's not a first for me I'm a bit bored with it all, thought I'd got over it but I haven't, so I'm buying an Audi A8 instead and selling the 100 and all the sundry stuff I've accumulated for it Don't think I can fit this winch on the A8

 

[Gary Stockton]

I'm first on the list to acquire your 100 then, and watch as you howl your eyes out

Sorry, I don't get attached to stuff like that, witness the end my 80 came to Gav has first dibs on the deal of the year and is even as I type probably trying to arrange the sale of a child I'm not sure if Scott was also expressing an interest or just shock , then if you are seriously interested Gary you can be next on the list if you want but the time scales are quite short

Please see eBay auction no. 160506646467

 

[Gary Stockton]

Naah - I know Gav's always wanted it, and I'm saving hard for something else so rather let it go to someone who'll treasure it! Bit surprised you've got here do soon though!

Ill swap you an 80 and a fast Volvo for the 100

Bet the audi owners club wont be as much fun as this one though!

 

[Andrew Prince]

Jon, I hope its a W12 A8 you're looking at... Sorry to see you've decided to sell your truck but who knows, when the itch flares up again maybe a 200 will rolll into view

 

[Jon Wildsmith]

It's a 4.2TDI V8 Quattro Tiptronic blah bah Andrew, goes very nicely but will go even better once chipped The 6.0l W12 was tempting but a 4.2TDI develops more torque and similar power once chipped and you can't tell it's a diesel driving it It is at least a 4wd still with adjustable height suspension and a nice big V8

 

[Andrew Prince]

The diesel is also stunning Thought you might want to stay with petrol though. Sounds like you've got it parked outside already - good going

The petrol was what I looked at first but when I looked at the numbers it didn't make any sense. Not quite got as far as having it parked outside yet but should be quite soon.

 

[Rob]

Funnily enough the A8 V8 TDI is on my V8 wishlist, so I approve Sad to hear that you are selling the 100 Jon, do you mind me asking what is it that you got tired/bored of? Lack of mods to do as you have done them all? Lack of greenlanes? Us?

 

[Jon Wildsmith]

Definately not the last one Rob so don't think I'll be doing a vanishing act just yet, I'm expecting to be allowed into the Lincomb events still after all it is a 4x4

I *think* i've got bored with having essentially the same car for nearly 11 years plus a bit of been there done that on the laning and so re-evaluated what my ideal car would have and the A8 is a close match - 4wd, big powerful engine, a nod to bumpy tracks by being able to raise itself 25mm, time will tell.

 

[Gary Stockton]

Thank goodness you didn't buy something with a green oval on the front coz then you couldn't come to Lincomb with us. Be interesting to see you do Rubie hill now though

 

[Andrew Prince]

Way OT now but...

a nod to bumpy tracks by being able to raise itself 25mm, time will tell.

Looking forward to seeing it with Simexs underneath

 

[Jon Wildsmith]

I don't think i'll be taking it round the woods but it might be able to get to the woods!

 

[Rob]

I take it we've all seen the latest top gear christmas special...

 

[Jon Wildsmith]

Now there's a thought Rob, not! I shall be having a garage sale in due course, lathe, miller, tube bender, plasma cutter, chop saw, big welder, all that kind of stuff will be surplus to requirements now and will be more use converted into new toys

 

[Chris]

Is cash alright Jon?
