Just since October 2011, so 2 years and 4 months.
I tend to keep cars 4-6 years.

3 years 2 months with my S8 - nowhere near a record breaker there!

No plans to sell now I don't use the tank daily - tends to come out of the garage every couple of weeks at the moment, although the weather has a lot to do with that.

I owned my old S8 for 5 1/2 years from April 2008.
I'v had the new one for only 7 months, and I have only been driving it 'full time' for the past 3.

Which means this looks very much in need of an update, there are also some regulars that have changed cars since this was last updated.

Jan 2008.....just over 6 years then. Bought just before their values fell through the floor....whoops. And from that expensive chap Oscar Goldman in Watford.

Oh well...

Surprisingly, I've only done a little over 50k miles in that time (now on 103k).

Had my D2 more than 2 years, had the D3 for 2 months.

Previous owner on the D2 bought the car as an ex. demo, so had it for 10 years.
