Hi,
I’m ashamed to say that after asking MJ to make up some hard lines for my newly refurbished front brakes at the beginning of the year, I bought my S4 Cab on a whim, and the poor S8 sat standing until a couple of weeks back when I was forced to put it through its postponed COVID MOT. The S4 attracted a light restoration and a few mods, and the sun was shining....so you would, wouldn’t you??
A bad dose of COVID in April/May, then a suspected heart attack as a direct consequence of the COVID in early June means I’ve had a eventful year, to say the least. That’s a whole other story for another day....needless to say, please don’t catch it!!
Anyway, S8 passed with no advisories, and back in it again reminds me what a fantastic car this thing is. I’ve had it for nearly 13 years, and despite a slightly over-crowded drive, my wife will not convince me to sell it!!
Best wishes to all.

PS: gratuitous photo of new brakes, nice clean arch and painted back plate, and MJ’s pretty hard lines...
