Sold my 8 today :(

It's strange you can miss a car this much but i really do. Guess time will make it better.

atleast it was a trade deal so i got my new car a Range rover sport 4,2 v8 SC insted. it kinda helps but the 8 was still somthing speciel to me.

Why the move to an SUV? Just trying something different or needed it?

The 8 has its flaws like every other car out there, but I agree, there is something about this car which creates an emotional bond with the owner. The driving experience is very rich, and it just involves the driver so much.

It's ok though, everyone has to move forward at some point in time.

Wish you good luck with your new Range Rover. I'm sure it has a lot of power within that supercharged V8.

the RR Sport has a really nice interior... but, parts & maintenance on that thing are hella expensive. not for those who aren't used to dishing out big bucks...

I feel you. My 8 was the first car I really cared for, but it's nice having a brand new car.

It was not like i needed the space or anything just never had a SUV before so wanted to try it out and the RR sport is one of the badest in that category if you ask me. i only have 1 picture so far. will take some more maybe tomorow.
