Yes Wrong Forum...Tough!

Sussex_G20 · 12-04-2015, 09:10 AM

Is it just me or is this forum totally dull now there are no O/T discussion threads? Whilst it is interesting to discuss technical issues it is good to have some lighthearted items mixed in.

Life is too short to be working about where is and isn't the right place to post.....
Tin hat on and I'll get my coat.

I agree - stupid move. I just can't be arsed now. I don't suppose that'll upset many but I too liked the mix of relevant and OT posts.

I don't think I will be posting much more

Personally I like it - for the times I dip in at work during lunch I can now safely look in the forum without the fear of something quite controversial in the title popping up for those around me to see.

For those that think it's dull - what's the problem? You've just got another button to click and go post/read the OT crap there - job sorted.

I'll bet a fair few more "lurkers" come out of the shadows now the forum doesn't seem so intimidating - and that can only be a good thing because after all ITS A CAR BASED FORUM not a chat room

I have just collected my new Audi S8 - can I share pics and my impressions here?!?!?

Definitely, everyone loves (or should) an S8

ciscopete822 · 12-04-2015, 10:42 AM

there you go , I could tell you how much quicker it is than 335d / 340i but you already knew it.

Very nice S8 Pete, congrats, how long you had it, had a chance to stretch it a little yet? Were some good around a little while back. Nice colour choice too

ciscopete822 · 12-04-2015, 10:57 AM

Had it5 days, 500 miles on clock - so its getting there. I have driven some proper cars but S8 scares the shit out of me. Oh and interior - Audi really pulled it off there

That is lovely

Liking the interior

Though can you please keep your details up to date as the S8 is clearly not 'on order'

rich100 · 12-04-2015, 11:39 AM

No OT posts.

ciscopete822 · 12-04-2015, 12:37 PM

Come on gents. No OT posts please!!

dazzapb · 12-04-2015, 02:59 PM

i would have pulled the trigger on that beauty - cracking S8 deal

nice one.

Still the blank buttons are a bit naff

danny_cotw · 12-04-2015, 03:17 PM

OT - where can I find the new OT forum? I'm likely to spend too much cash staying on the 'serious' forum.

Steve_M_Sport · 12-04-2015, 03:53 PM

Nice colour but not sure it looks like an £80k+ car though. Front looks a bit ugly and plasticky . Could be an A4 SE ?

dazzapb · 12-04-2015, 04:13 PM

Can get 25k off prob due to the S8 Plus, cracking car for a lease (mad to buy)

Cisco pete your trainers man, should be finest hide in that car

rocketretro · 12-04-2015, 04:58 PM

Oooooh, I do like that glossy carbon fibre!
