I see - I thought it was a works car-park, I didn't realise it was residential. It does sort of dominate the car park a little. Well, a lot.
So you're close; I'm a few minutes away near Sewell College.
When I bought mine we had a double garage but it still didn't fit - it was a fraction too long. I'd under-estimated exactly how big these things really are.
We were in the middle of buying a house with enough parking space for it and if the sale had fallen through the S8 would have been sold. I said to Mrs Phil (who hated the car at the time) that I'd only keep it if I had space to park it.
As for the D2 vs D3, a lot of the comments have reaffirmed what I was feeling. The D3 is, on paper, a slightly newer, fresher-looking, better spec'ed car, but the D2 has a certain something about it, despite it's age and known issues. if you can live with those then it's something special.
I wasn't eager to get rid but for a while now I've been thinking about what would fill the gap when/if the D2 goes, hence the question about how D3's compare.
It would have to be another A8 - I can't think of anything else within my budget that offers anything comparable.
