Stephen,
Yes, you can still be in the "ancient Audi club" - just promise to keep the
S8 until it's an antique. In the meantime, keeping the 100 will waive the
super-expensive bi-weekly membership dues. After blasting around the test
track with - and being thrown around the back of - an S8 at the Audi quattro
Challenge a couple of years back - I know what you mean. It was kinda like
Ronin...mixed with "Star" of BMW Films....ya want proof?...:
