Back in a D2

[The_Laird]

My thoughts exactly!

I say divorce her, they are a constant source of expenditure, extremely high in the maintenance department, get increasingly difficult to look after as they get older, oh wait that may just be the cars I'm talking about there and we love them dearly.

Does your missus drive the D3, I can't honestly see her enjoying popping to the shops with that exhaust you have on at the mo.

As already said the common sense answer is to buy a D2 and you use it.

I would have made some remark about her having poor taste when it comes to looks and style - but that would reflect badly on you Marcin Perhaps she just needs to see some real life examples and to drive one? My missus loves driving it apart from its size when parking. Can you not persuade someone on here to "drop by" one day and show her a fine example (of a D2 that is).

Women outnumber S8s millions to one.

You'll soon find another good one (wife that is).

just get her to drive one, once she does she wont care about the outside.

I got a little over 200 miles on £40 of LPG

Excellent as a daily runabout and without doubt one of the best made cars Audi have ever released.

Loses a little poke on LPG but above 5000 rpm the engine kicks over to petrol and you have no idea its doing it apart from the additional boost of power.

Its not quite as quick as my E39 M5 and that did have a better chassis; but the S8 is much better made and better mile muncher. Also its a little quicker than my D3 4.2 in gears but looses out a little as it has 5 instead of 6 ratios.

Saying that the gearbox is a honey as its only done 10,000 since the people at Mackies did everything on it.

400 miles in 5 hours back from Scotland last weekend was dispatched with an ease that nothing I have driven come close to (though I admit that's mainly been work hire cars including Mondeos/ Insignias/ Lexus IS/ Golfs etc).
