S8 D3 or 530d F11

[Dxthomas]

So, after 2yrs of being absent from this forum...I find myself being drawn back in. I didn't bond with my D3 4.2 tdi - which I only owned for a short period.

Nonetheless, it's the thought of an S8 (D3) which is appealing to my petrolhead genes.

Thing is, I'm also hugely tempted with a 530d (F11). Much cheaper to run and maintain (probably), plenty fast enough - and more modern design.

Not really a question for anyone to answer - but more just a means of saying "hello" after some time away.

For now, I'll keep having a blast in my Golf R which is a great little car.

I also feel it appropriate to declare my deep love for the XC90....unexplainable, but very true!
