I will do it will be next year probably because it’s so hard to plan with what’s going on. This was my thoughts on a route 😇

Welcome Ian, nice to have you on board, more pics please, what a stunner you have. 🤘😁🤟Can I ask, do you also have a Harley?

Welcome Joe, nice to have you on board, pics please 🤘😁🤟

Thanks for the info Steve, got mine 🤘

Totally agree fella, the world is a far better place than it was. The environment is definitely showing signs of improvement, people seem to care a little more and community spirit is significantly stronger. If we don't learn some valuable lessons form this and carry the benefits further then I think our species maybe doomed 🥺we'll see where we all go from here. If you know your history, you'll remember the renaissance period directly followed on from the great plague, I know Covid is no where near those figures but its not over yet lol. Interesting times though eh? What motoring journals do you write for?

I wanted to post a pic of a Chinese person jumping out from behind a wall shouting 'supplies' but thought I'd probably offend some one pmsl, so for now I['ll go with: orders

Morning gang, I'm considering a road trip to Alcudia on the island of Palma, I know it sounds daft but I have my reasons, which I can explain of you like 🤘😁🤟but its not important to the post at the min. I'll be going from Manchester and hoping to do the trip with no overnight stops, apart from the ferry crossings of course. I'll be allowing 3 clear days for the journey each way. Do you guys have any advise that may make it a better experience, routes, ferries, POI's etc. I don't want to just hit the motorway and go, I want to make a journey out of it! any advise would be awesome, cheers

What an interesting post! It's obvious that smells are important and we all assume that these things are thought about, even checked. `It just catches your attention when you hear there is a team of dedicated employees doing it. But for consistency it's obvious I suppose. I can vouch for the smell issue, I have a small problem with my A8 that I'm going to post about in the correct section of the forums for a bit of advise. All will become clear shortly.

Hi there Steve, yep its been a while since I've had any time at all to myself, so busy the last two years. I set up a media haulage company and have been working really hard at that. I was away from home most of 2019 with it. But since the plague who shall not be named came to visit, the entire industry stopped overnight, so I have had to re-write my business plan completely for the short term. Ive even started delivering shopping to people, which has been fun and rewarding, but not really profitable as using an A8L as a delivery van, although extremely cool, is not really cost effective lol. All good though, not been unwell, thank hell and keeping my head above water. Its been nice to get back into things id missed, like this forum etc. How have you guys been keeping during the pandemic and these weird times we find ourselves in?

Hi there welcome to the group! The foot waving thing works like a charm on mine, unless I actually am at the supermarket with armfuls of shopping! Then it makes me dance around performing the full river dance scene before it opens 😳. The Audi sound system is a little poor, I believe this is because they offered the car with a standard, Bose (£2200) or B&O (6500) upgrade option. If the original one was any good no one would upgrade 😡 not sure that you can do anything about it though, not cheaply anyway.

Hi there and welcome, when you say ‘virtual cockpit’ do you mean the pop up screen as in the D4 or the touch screen version in the D5? Next question, which may appear weird at first, did you jet wash the car just before you lost the entertainment?

Quantity

Point

Which Audi dealership is?

Spread

Cool, good luck with all that! What DIY kit are you using, I make my own liquids and found it easier to mix at 5mg then 4mg then 3mg which made it easier to make the drop

The price isnt revealed as yet its TBC, The build procedure at Oldham Audi Is quite stunning, you build the car / colour / leather / wood and options then look at the vehicle through a VR headset to see how it all looks together once all things are chosen it will spit out a price, I would imagine a well loaded one will circa £100k but i guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I don't think they forgot, apparently this one is doing the rounds at the dealers for a while. I should have asked what the pre order time was.

It was the grand unveiling and apparently the only vehicle available to display was brought in from Germany to display, hence the left hand drive. I'm not sure there are any others in the country yet.

I kind of agree Rob, it did have that feel about it it was still a stunning looking car but it appeared to narrow of to the front and rear slightly more than its predecessor. Making it feel more American, I'm not too sure about the virtual interior either I like the feel of Audi switchgear and love analogue displays, not sure I'm ready to ditch that yet. Still it was very beautiful to look at and felt every bit the A8.

The old cx Pallas was an awesome suspension system, they claim you could put an elephant in the boot and the ride height would remain the same, from memory tho the cornering was a little 'rolley' and challenging. This new Audi system i believe also raises the suspension on one side in the corners to keep the car flat and controllable, I would love to drive it to compare to the HMS CX Pallas. Roll on future thechnology.
