I believe Speed Channel is owned by Fox, it only seems like it's owned by
NASCAR! I regularly watch "Test Drive" and I don't recall having seen an
episode on the S8, but if they re-run it, I'll happily forward you a copy.

I've been having bouts with S8 fever myself lately....

And, hello Steve! Can I still be in the ancient Audi club if I get an S8? I
promise to keep the 100 as well!
