Given half a chance, I'd be out in it every day, but in reality, I think I've been out roughly once a fortnight. Only used on long runs, and when I'm in the mood.

Current:
2001 Audi S8 - Brilliant Black with Black interior, C5 RS6 rims (whenever I actually put them on...), Solar Sunroof, Tinted side and rear glass, RNS-D, Grom, Bose, clunky old phone in arm rest!
2002 Audi S8 - Project
Replacement head coming arrived thanks to MJ
Silver with Black interior. All features as the '01, with the 'S' mode auto shifter. Dodgey rear tint (need to find a way to get rid of that).
Family:
2009 Volvo XC90 V8 R Design - has a louder more obnoxious exhaust than the S8, sounds great! Love this thing - Q7 was double the price, and certainly not double the car!

Sold:
1997 Audi A4 - Hamilton's Club Sport, Achat Grey (will miss the old girl)

I prefer South Utsire, though it'd be harder to take a photo of there from an '8...
