Il be honest i use the W12 every day and i love it, i get 21 mpg all the time thats only 3-5mpg less than the D2 i had but oh so much better, its rather odd actually because although the D3 W12 is an amazing car i still miss the D2 and im tempted to buy it back just because i feel like i let it down when i let it go

Lol yes shame on you, you should!
I noticed you had posted that you miss it on my YouTube page that showed it getting whooped at GTI.
Buy her back then you've got the best of both worlds

Just get a S8, they are so cheap now. 99k miles and under £4k.
I'm seriously wanting to get another one, just got to figure out where to put it
http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...1501?logcode=p

My thoughts on the Hybrid A8, I may be nuts but I think they did it all wrong. A 53hp electric motor??? hardly worth putting in there. They should have taken note of a technology thats been around for ages, diesel-electric. Worked in locomotives just fine for almost 100 years. Diesel (or petrol) engine just acts like a generator, and powerful electric motors do the work. No gearbox, so that 160kg saved right there, to use for batteries and other stuff.
rant over
