Default Happy 200k

Happy 200k to the S8.

Still driving perfectly, sounding amazing and continues to be one of the best cars ever made.

I would say its now just about run in and ready for the next 100k.

I’m not many miles behind you (a tad under 190K) and, to my knowledge, still on the original gearbox (although Mackies have serviced it at least 3 times)
