S8 doing its bit for Christmas
 

The S8 was earning her keep this weekend.

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

Nice use of bungee cords +++

Yess!! thats the spirit! +++

Im feeling the need to put green christmas tinsel on the areral mast this year!

Xmas car decs! :love:

1) Your S8 is a wonderful example.
2) Forgot how much I liked your redesigned rear valance.
3) I hope you put something between the tree and the paintwork!
4) i’ll stop being the Grinch now!

that was my first thought.....:eek:

Please no Christmas car tinsel James :ROFL:

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’m more surprised that no one has asked how I gained access to the car :Confused::D

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

Tree now fully erect.

The windows were open, I’m assuming dukes of hazard style :ROFL:

9ft+ tree! :eek: Only The Laird has ceilings high enough for one of those!

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!

It was indeed done in true Dukes of Hazard style :D

Hmmm Catherine Bach :love:

As a detailer please believe... We are only human. The hardest part of our job is sharing the news that the "bit of tlc and buff" that the customer believes / hopes will remove marks will in truth stretch the limits of the paint thickness to work with...:-(

Simply stunning car tho!! ++++++

Before we moved south last February, we had even bigger trees. Our ceilings on the ground floor were 11 foot plus, so we’ve had some big trees! One year we had to cut a few inches off to make it fit.

But this year (well, strictly, last year), in our far more modest (and sensible) retirement home, we bought ba 6 foot tree which fitted fine. But we still travelled a good distance to find a ‘Scottish Larch Pole Pine’ that SWHTBO insists on!

This is the only photo we have of our Christmas tree. +++
