D2 S8 - Now What ???

[ulfilias]

Hi Guys,

I have a 2000 D2 S8 and i've had it about 3yrs. Got her at 135k and now have 211k. She is a damn fine car but I feel she is on the way out. A complete an utter work horse, doing loads of motorway miles running round the country having fun. Custom Stereo and LPG and apart from steering wheel controls I don't think I could ask for much more in a car. King of the road, comfy as anything, quiet for chatting, yet I can park her in the back streets of any town and no one really bats an eye lid unless they know what an S8 is and then they just respectfully nod!

So the big question is now what ???

How close is a D3 to an S8....What can be done about the stereo (I have Ipod, Phatbox flac hard drive, usb and Satnav with speed cameras). What is the cornering like or the acceloration, particularly off the lights and then 30-70.
