Default 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

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!

Please no Christmas car tinsel James

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

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

Tree now fully erect.
