Still here......
It had a couple of months off as I didn't feel like taxing it but I have been using it on and off since the beginning of October.
I've fitted new tyres, now the correct 245/45 18. Nothing special brand wise, but a HUGE improvement. Drives very much better. Quieter, smoother, actually has some grip in the wet and lower rpms at cruise. Also changed the oil and filter.
Rather like driving it now. Averaged 31mpg on a recent run up to London in spite of the M25 and not driving especially slowly.
However, the reality remains that I don't need two big old Audis and my A6 goes twice as far on a litre of fuel as well as being a useful estate.
Plus no. 2 son is about to take his driving test and will be wanting wheels if he passes. Doubt I'll get him insured on the '8...... and the drive is rather full.
