Not until it's been washed. Nasty coating of crap all over it.
Ironic this but the night I bought it I had the best drive I've ever had in a car on the seventy odd miles of A road and windy b roads back to my house. I was due to pick up the S8 next morning after I had contacted insurance company. I thought the silver one was going to the scrap yard the next day so I THRASHED it home. Treated it like a bike. Would have cost me £600 if I had rolled it so went stupid. these cars are fast aren't they? On the limit it really shoves the weight onto the outside front tyre and it sort of squirms without squealing tyres and the back end will go light and feel like it wants to hop when hitting undulations at high speed. Enlightening. Gearbox is sluggish to respond and will change up at the slightest hint you are being sensible. Tiptronic mode would still upshift if I kissed the limiter.
