Many thanks for your contributions etc on the forum.
I think Adrian and me are at opposite ends of the life transitions phase, and TBH my most recent phase gave me the means to add another car to the drive I am hoping at the next stage, when we downsize the house, I can create an equally creative man maths case to add yet more......

Sorry to hijack your thread Adrian, and good luck with the house hunting and "sensible" car options

ETA... only seems like yesterday

Hi Adrian,
So sorry to hear that you have sold your car, but fully understand your reasons for doing so.
I took me over two years to find my Final Edition S8, after having had a run in yours, despite owning a A8 QS 4,2. The difference is so significant.
Thanks for being so helpful with all your advice and guidance.
If you need to ever scratch that itch again with the D2 S8, without buying one, mine will be available for you to scratch that itch when needed. Just ask.
Good luck with the house move and let me know where you eventually settle.
Good Luck
David

Same sentiments from me Adrian - please stick around and keep contributing as you have done, your input has been invaluable, as has your company at so many meets. GLad to have helped find a hopefully good home for what has got to be one of the nicest S8 Final Editions that was out there in the market place!
Hope things all go smoothly for you with the move etc and please do stay in touch

Hi Adrian. I'm sorry to hear you've had to sell I know a little about how you feel after selling my B5 S4. It's funny how attached we become to our cars.

I've not seen your S8 in the flesh but the photos certainly always looked good. All the best with your house move and I hope you're back in an Audi soon.

Will do The sunroof kit with loom went with the car - along with my 'spare' Milltek back box and everything else I'd been hanging on to. Think all I've got left which I'd forgotten about is an auto dimming rear view mirror and a set of Thule aero bars! The solar roof I really wish I'd got around to doing, but lack of space and time just got in the way

Thanks David

At the moment I think we'll be staying put till spring as the market seems very slow, even accounting for the run up to December....

At least the garage is clear for emptying the loft into and otherwise clearing the house out!

Cheers - I can still 'slum it' in the S5 in the meantime - although 1 car ownership is already proving a drag!
