alera Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Wow the interior on that golf looks mint. You must have spent a fortune on it. Did you do all the work yourself ? I can see lots of toys in there, ps2, reverse camera. Very very nice. The engine looks incredible have you had the block chrome plated ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikw Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Can't believe I've had this old thing for more than seven years now. Still love it, and few things I can afford would be better suited to the annual Le Mans pilgrimmage. ...and yes, I know, I must get the sill repaired!

Soundwave Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Funnily enough, the S8 is supposed to be my 'toy/plaything'! My everyday car I use for work etc. is a Mk4 Golf TDI 130 Estate, but I just can't stop driving the S8 as I love it so much! I'm now thinking of selling the Golf so that I can use the S8 full-time, so my plaything has really become my main transport! Then, I'll need a new plaything.. Would seriously consider a real special, limited edition Scooby from Litchfield like a type 25 or RA-R or something like that. Trouble is, I'd probably end up wanting to drive that all the time.. Does this happen to anyone else - you buy a plaything car for the weekend and then and up driving it all the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Yes, I did 1700 miles the week before last. I wouldn't mind but at 20mpg it cost me an arm and a leg! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
