So...I slammed the brakes around 70 mph and the car left a 15-20 foot skidmark on the left side.

Im pretty sure that is not normal behavior. It looks like only one tire locked up from the mark. These brake issues are driving me crazy!

Not worth getting rid of. Keep it for those occasions when room for 4 in luxury is needed.

Default Fu nny you should say that Tozo- I have been considering a major pimp with the A8

early days but I am wondering about a supercharger and other slight alterations but will need to get a daily drive first and find a good tech-have one in mind-we shall see.
Any one here know how to remap the ecu for fuel etc??
If it sells soon then it will clearly not happen but the more I think about it the more
I seem to hope she does not sell
