The joy is in the trip, not the destination ;-)

Default Did all the wiring diagrams go with her?

Surely a bittersweet moment.

Default A lot of people do not give a second thought to

the safety of a good car like at A8/S8 can offer to themselves and or family. A very good car for the money (used of course)!! I was rear-ended in a Buick aboyt 4 years ago. Altough it was a big car it was almost totalled. If I was in anything less...I would not be here. I did my home work on the A8 before purchase and like what I saw performance and safetywise!!

Any woman who looks at a long distance road trip/adventure as a good time is a keeper. Fast forward a few years and some lucky bastage will get your A8 after it has been perfected.

Condolences and Congrats,

Brian

Default They are all posted here

And he lives in the same town I live in, so it's not like it is the last time I will see the car.

It is a darn nice car though!

Default Friend of mine bought my Ur//S6 when I bought the //S8. He came by last night

while I was inside. I heard the motor and knew my old girl came by for a visit. Although I did not last night, 'tis good to know I will be able to take her out for a romp in the hay on occasion. I do miss her but the //S8 is quite the seductress so no complaints.
