    Name that Car 2

    The other day I was at Autobarn Macgregor when I saw a really really nice Audi. Didn't get a chance to check out the badge, but if Audi's didn't change their names so often I would've said it was an old A8 judging solely on its size.

    Would've been early 90's possible late 80's. Could've been older as Audi's have always looked rather modern. It also had an Americanesque type appeal to it (which I found rather attractive).

    I'm not sure whether they were ever sold in Australia.. Honestly it was the first time i've even seen one (or noticed one, for that matter).

    I think it could've been a 100.. Or even 200 by looking at that website!

    Thanks

    It was dark, like black or even dark brown.. May have been a V8 but it didn't ring a bell when I googled it

    There are two cayenne metallic V8s (burgandy) I know of that were in Qld, poss both in Brisbane. One of them was my car, sold to a bloke on the GC who then onsold, not sure who. Also a black V8 up there, met the owner when he drove it down to Sydney a few years ago.

    The V8 uses the same bodyshell as the 100/200 but modified guards etc. The front end does look a bit like a 1990s US car, a bit like a Crown Vic you always see the US cop shows using.

Off topic a wee bit had one draining a battery, turned out after a lot of diagnosis the heated door locks were staying on. Yeah in Scotland we did need them, wouldnt be the first time ive pee,d on a lock to get the key in
