Lost count...
When driving in the S8 today, the number of people that stared at the car!
Virtually every other person  I'm even tempted to say that it turned more heads than the Cerbera

Are you sure somethings not falling off your car, making odd noises, dragging on the ground or smoking?

Not a single look in this car, green one got quite a few admiring glances. People at work sometimes drop their jaw when they realise it's mine and had a few comments there. Some girls have said why did you sell your stunning BMW for that, but once they get in and feel it's power/luxury it's a completely different story.
Edit: Not even the prat in the 2.8 PF M Reg silver A8 bothered flashing me back a few days ago.

But. I could never have predicted when I was sitting in my D2 S8, outside Waitrose, that the old bird who staggered out and shuffled up to tap on my window, would deliver an outpouring of admiration, love and enthusiasm for my car. My passenger just looked at me and said 'Do you get that often?' I kept my cool, and lied
