Default New owner D3 S8

Absolutely buzzing, got my dream car after many years.

Daytona Grey with black leather and B+O, resonated Milltek.

Ŵe looked at it earlier this week as it was local and my wife knew the seller, and I ummed and ahh'd, it was supposed to go in to a local specialist, who I know, today for a check over.

Anyway, I pop in to the specialist today, no sign of the S8, appointment cancelled as it was sold.

Gutted! Texting the wife on the way home effing and blinding, as thought we had first refusal...get home and the bloody thing is sat out the front!

Amazing, I just buckled.

My wife arranged it all without me knowing, such a surprise.

Right, off for a spin, will be grinning from ear to ear in a minute!

The B&O is lovely is it not.

Look forward to seeing pictures of her,but more importantly hearing that Milltek

The lack of audible presence is one thing I would like to address with mine, especially after the last meet with all the V8's with custom pipes

I agree with the others your wife's a keeper if she does things like that for you, even if your paying lol

Well, didnt want want to make any assumptions there - especially as I thought you might have noticed a few Łk going out of your account

Never heard a car fitted with B&O and would love to and would definitely love to fit a Milltek or something that would empthasise the V8. Palmers rear end (oh err missus) -for sale, see other thread - would be on my list just to get the sound except I have just paid out for a 'stat, water pump, timing belt etc.
