[V8] What Car Next

[Ron Wainwright]

I have driven a friends "01" //S8 & they are wonderfull cars! they handle great with stock sport suapension... car doesn't feel floaty, or out of controll, power comes on very early in the RPM range (1,500K), they are very roomy as well.
 For the price these things are going for it's a lot of car for the $$$$.
 I have seen many color combo's... but my fav by far is Blk on Blood Red. I'm all so kinda partial to the Alcantera interior as well... but that Blood Red leather is to die for.
 If you wanted to travel for the rite car I could get you in contact with a few people who could help you out with your search.
 Check out the D2 forums on AW... I know a few of the guys over there.... great bunch of guys!!!!!!

 Ron
