Nick (tonupkid) has one. Might be worth sending him a PM if he doesn't see this thread.

Yes, indeed I do have a D4 S8 Plus.
It's been with me for three years and about 25k miles now, so there's a bit of history to go on. Things that have required attention. Sunroof spoiler lift mechanism - I think that the motor was replaced Wiper motor - Replaced Secondary water pump - Replaced Turbo oil screen - Replaced under recall, along with the oil separator (apparently this is one of those jobs, like belt tensioners, that's worthwhile doing while they are in there) It is by no means the most reliable car I have owned, but it is undoubtedly the most rewarding.
