Saw this at the scarp yard today. Not an  automotive parts junkyard. No a metal recycling facility. Whomp whomp

The Pearl white still looks great.

Reminds me of all the times I accidentally typed Carp Sotting.

There’s an immaculate early A8 in my area in this color.  Looks amazing, and even more amazing to see it, as a lot of those cars were starting to look a little iffy 15 years ago - a nice one is a hen’s tooth now.

I assume it’s just been abandoned after a Ronin-esque get away

Funny how iconic that Pearl White was then. It just had a brilliance that no other car of the time had... you could spot it 3 blocks away.

Makes the lousy paint on some modern +ahem+ “luxury” cars even more inexplicable.

Even that one in the scrap yard would certainly shine up to a great sheen.

Who can blame them? After that incident with the watermelons and the brace-and-bit in the Skokie Aldi...

I hope not. I’ve done that a shocking number of times.

Do nt think S8 was available in US yet when Ronin came out. The V8q had basically the first gen ABQ A8 engine when it first came to US.

Strangely that V8 has just gotten more complex and less reliable than the first gen ABZ which is bullet-proof.

I still really like those. I have the book that Audi made for the A8's launch, from back in the 90s. It’s beautiful.

I almost bought one just like that on a whim, back in 2016.
