Good trip in the A8
The A8 didn't let me down again on a quick Europe trip earlier this week
 Just over a 1000 miles in 4 days - took the family to Euro Disney and had a great time. Used around £230 of juice so not bad (carputer reckons an average of 32.5 mpg) and kept to around 140 Km/h on the toll road. Again, the only way to travel

Have to agree it is the best way to travel, just been on hols to Portugal, and the best bit of the journey was the drive from Glasgow to Liverpool airport, they seem to just soak up the miles

Did a trip to Scotland a while back, starting near M40/M25 junction (my home patch) somewhere between 5am and 6am. Then M40/M6 toll etc.. Arrived (after a couple of breaks) in Scotland around 9am and at Cairndow at exactly midday for an excellent lunch in the original Loch Fyne Oyster Bar. And on to Lochgilphead/Crinan then a few days later over to Mull. Wonderful!

Sounds awesome.
We've got Euro trips planned, but I aint taking the chance with a ZF-engined S8. Till she's converted, it's hire car for me, or just fly-drive.
