Default But yours is 98, right?

Default Comfort seats: After 7 hours of non-stop driving i get out of the car without back-problems etc.etc.

I do this 4 times a month minimum, driving at very high speed on Germany's autobahn's.
I would not trade my comfort-seats for the Recaro's if they where made of gold(ish stuff).

After 7 hours i get out of the car all relaxed and happy. Gotta love them comfort-seats !!

comfort seats rock!, the leather in this car is so nice it almost looks like plastic, but feels like , well, really nice leather, and althoughi only have 70k km's the seats seem like they will keep their shape/unruffled ,still new condition, i mean drivers side is as the passenger side so far, no odd creasing from ingress/egress,black color probably helps hide irregularities

Default I have a couple of extra sport wheels that would probably work in an A8

one even has Tip controls out of a 2001 A4, IIRC. I'd love to get them off of my parts shelf....
