An A8, or S8 has been my 'smoker' since 2008, although I also have a Tiger which gets less use these days, but also used to be my only car.... it was a short commute.
I replaced the A8 4.2q with the S8 because I liked the A8 so much and thought an S8 would be sweeter (and fancied the FL upgrade)- looking back it might have been better to keep my pre FL A8-it wanted for nothing (was a dark metallic green with black leather) I just thought if A8 good, S8 better, but I liked the long gearing in the A8 better. I probably should have bought a FL A8 or a LWB.
Anyway, I still use the S8 as my day to day, but it lives, like me in Bulgaria. In the UK it used to go 120 miles a day but I drive less these days.
When I was at a loss as to what to get, my trader chum Lindsey Kerr said 'get an Audi A8- wonderful cars'.
I quite agree.
