Audi A5 for Jorgen
-
Good grief - you'd think Audi could afford a web developer who could load the swap images in without having to postback to the server each time!!!! Anyone from Audi listening..? I can do it... ! :-)
I assume that you would do the work in exchange for the car.
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

I know Jorgen likes his Audis and AFAIR there are a few others here too. To be honest I've liked them but not loved them. That is until the Audi A5 showed up. For the first time I've thought "Now that, that I would buy"[^]. And apparently it is good to drive too. Up there with BMW.

There is one minor problem with it - those buttons down by the gearstick for the sat nav etc... if you are looking at them at all you're going to crash!

Yeah that's right. Blame the little guy. Blame the outsourcing company.

Me too, but unfortunately I'm 6' 6" so I wouldn't fit in the car. Here[^] is a picture of the dashboard for a vehicle that I comfortably fit in on.

From what I understand, Bugatti only nominally sells you the car. They store and maintain it for you, and you call them up when you'd like to drive it. They have a group of tracks where it can be driven, and will transport the car there for you. They don't recommend driving it on the street.

I'm guessing you're a Percheron kind of guy, huh? :-D I sympathize. I've tried driving a number of sports cars. Everything from Mustangs to Porsches seem to be designed by and for 5'4" dwarves that are compensating for their shortcomings. The only sports car that ever fit me was my Mazda Miata. I'm 6'1" with long legs. I had the seat all the way back, and the recline at maximum (which wasn't very far). Unfortunately, I spun it out into a bridge abutment a couple of years ago :((.

hehe. My advice to new drivers is to buy a cheap, small, fun car. Don't ruin it by buying a big, expensive car first. That day will come in time, don't miss out on the small car time :)

I think that's sound advice - and I'm sure my bank agrees :)
"When you have made evil the means of survival, do not expect men to remain good. Do not expect them to stay moral and lose their lives for the purpose of becoming the fodder of the immoral. Do not expect them to produce, when production is punished and looting rewarded. Do not ask, `Who is destroying the world?' You are."

Actually I don't drive (poor eyesight; I'd never be let near a licence even...) but my parents used to own an Audi yearrs back, and we often did long trips all around Europe... of all the cars they owned in thier time, which included Jaguars and Mercedes, I have to say I liked the Audi best. As a passenger, it was by far the most comfortable to ride in for long periods. My better half is a die-hard Volvo girl... won't even consider anything else... drives a (very nice) V40 at the moment...

Probably my favourite Honda. When the current generation first came out I was smitten, great design. Sadly I see the 2008 model is a bit fugly.

What. She wears a grubby vest and says "Yippeekaiai" a lot?

Given the excesses they are prone to, they don't comprehend it all that well either. As someone once said, "money may be the root of all evil, but it sure helps make it more fun."
