[V8] Timing belt?....

[Dave Saad]

Changing the belt at the 60K interval should give you lots of safety  
margin.  Audi currently specs 75K for newer motors, and the belts are  
made of the same stuff as far as I know.  It would seem reasonable to  
me to do your drive, just drive like grandpa and do not covet other  
cars within view of the V8.
