Default S8 doing its bit for Christmas
The S8 was earning her keep this weekend.

Even though it痴 my pride and joy she still has to do family duties....like collecting the annual Christmas tree

1) Your S8 is a wonderful example.
2) Forgot how much I liked your redesigned rear valance.

Please no Christmas car tinsel James

Nothing between the car and the tree except the netting and my reasons for this are:
i) I have a glass sunroof where the bulk of the weight was.
ii) She will be getting a lovely detailing session in the summer

To be honest I知 more surprised that no one has asked how I gained access to the car

Edit: forgot to mention that only an A8/S8 can make a 9+ foot tree look small

Tree now fully erect.

I was guessing you were either already in the car and were passed the bungies or you used Dukes of Hazzard style....?!

Either way, at least we got to see 5 seconds of Catherine Bach!
