    Michael O'Connors in Glanmire are good too, just across from the Garda station and next to Monkey Maze, not a rip off merchant :)

    Mine was also an S8 :p
    Dark Green gets extra points as the S8 that made the name for the car in Ronin was dark green (Cactus Green).

    yeah I remembered it was an S8 after I had already edited the post about the colour and just thought id leave it and go to bed

    Beauty of a car though

    was referring to mat simis car not the one on love hate, it had no S8 badges at all on it

    No way it was an S8 in Love/Hate, not with that rattly diesel clatter off it!

    I was going for the badging you see around a good bit now, just lash them on :)

    There's a 98 corsa near me that is a RS Motorsport M-power variant. I'd say it's an incredible machine. .

    Outside of a handful of LHD versions, there are no diesel D2 Audi's.. I dont watch L/H so didnt see but I assume it was a D2 (97 to 2002 model) Audi A/S8 based on whats been posted?
    OSI is correct though, the VAG V8 petrols of that vintage do have a rattle that over a mic pickup prolly would sound kinda like a diesel.

    Seems you're right! According to Motorcheck, it's a petrol.

    Rally cross on a budget is a favourite of mine!:)
    alfas for 1000 pounds seems expensive. Myself and 166man drove a 156 v6 from ennis to dublin in record time and it was a lot cheaper than 1000 pounds!;)

    With the 406 as a backup/breakdown recovery yoke :pac:

    A lot seems to be changing here, I'm not on much these days...!

    Don't talk to me lads, looking at the bloody car with no way into it :rolleyes:
    If the key doesn't fix the problem there'll have to be a window go in!

    Windscreen cover?

    Is that what your beeping noise was all about?

    It's a wonder that owning a vectra hasn't choked the life out of car ownership for you and removed the will to ever live or drive again :eek:

    I think there might be some consensus that Opels in general will do that. :D
