Well, I had known The Laird a few years and he had got an A8 2.8 which i had admired for a while when he announced his intention to get an S8 which at 4.2 litres I thought was rather excessive. But when he'd got it and I had been for a few drives in the passenger seat i could see what he was getting at. So did SWMBO who thought the heated rear seats were the bees knees. About a year(?) later The Laird announced hi intention to buy a certain FE S8 but would need to sell the Ming Blue one first. At time he mentioned this we were having a few convivial drinks with our respective other halves at the local when SWMBO suddenly said "well, why dont YOU buy it"  .....and we are still together years later
