IT_S8 Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Haha, no I dont care what *you* weigh, I mean your car. As we all know, the A8 has an all ally chassis, shell body panels etc. So todays it_s8 bit of entertainment is : 'guess the weight of the bodyshell' All glass, plastic, spare wheel well etc was removed (and the handbrake) before weigh in... Closest guess wins the satisfaction of being more in tune with their car than the others... Bids in Kilos please, I dont understand all that old money stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IT_S8 Posted September 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 We're not really that close yet.... 5m long, wider than most things on the road. Huge rigid space frame with bolt on panels.... Heres a photo from a different angle.. ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostKiwi Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Hmmm... not sure if I'm allowed to guess given I was party to moving that lump.... butI'll go for 250kg with no glass.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IT_S8 Posted September 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 [ QUOTE ] 190Kg [/ QUOTE ] Thats joint closest.... Now, lets see if any tsn's have their brains engaged on a Friday to work it out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostKiwi Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Ok... 220kg then??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 I read some where that the D3 ASF weighed in at around 215Kg's so I rekon the D2 is about 200Kg's as the D3 is a bigger barge than the D2 - thats my bizzare logic for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oli18 Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 So if 190 is joint best then it means it's just as far off it as one of the other kg estimates given....250,308 or 428 so the 3 options would be 1. 220 2. 249 3. 309 ...i'm guessing 220 now!
