Finally back home!

The drive was very pleasant despite of driving slowly and nicely and queuing hour after hour. Finally I got lost in a a very rural area of Belgium on tiny roads with lots of pretty big cows everywhere and a vast and unsurmountable construction area (ex: street) at the very end of the street or should I say the beginning of the village. I had to turn around.

But all of that could not spoil the pleasure of the shifter moving smoothly from gear to gear, which has been repaired accidentally by Mikki Jayne, and the steady and constant heartbeat of the new heart of my amazingly glossy S8.

A 2nd life created by Mikki Jayne. No fear of getting stuck in a congestion anymore and blowing oil through the poor cats! No nasty sensation of the shifter discretely yet eerily scratching into the first and second gear!
11,1 l/100 km = 25,45 mpg. No demands for oil.

Thank you so very much, Mikki Jayne!


P.S.: I have not replaced the trims (but one single trim because there was a dent in it). I just don't wash it too often.

Must be as close to having a brand new D2 as possible, great thread and superb work as usual. Pity it's not coming to our annual event this year...I could be persuaded to fly over to Germany to collect it and bring it the meet however

Huge thanks to MJ for sorting my car out as well!

I went over to her workshop on Sunday, got my leaky gearbox pipe fixed and
as a bonus she fixed my crumbly junction box under the wheel arch.

Unfortunately I missed Vera's car by a week or two.
Lots of nice D2s there well worth a visit.
