Default Yea, verily, it is a whole new car! Another 00002 tranny is but a memory.

<center><img src="http://meganthorpe.topcities.com/files/ger03_car.jpg"></center><p>I got the stainless steel exhaust tips last week, but somehow I didn't get the 40 hp out of that the dealer promised. So skiracer, who shall here ever after be known as a Scholar and a Gentleman, used VAG-COM this afternoon to hypnotically suggest to my tranny that it ought to wake up and live. (I use Macs, a fact I celebrate daily, but they won't run V-C). Now my car runs like the 4 door 911 I thought I was buying three weeks ago!

I now also have Magic Fingers in the passenger seat. And the paint looks funny. I think skiracer may have hacked his VAG-COM a little.

'99 A8 64K, and very little resembling the photo above.

Default I thought you would like the transformation :-) However, I will never.....

fess up to hacking Vag-Com to activate the hidden magic fingers option! BTW, where did you see the R8 painted like a croc? Germany somewhere from the looks of the wall behind you.

That's not me with the car, Doug, that's some German. A German acid head, I'm guessing.
