I know.... The trouble is, I've never owned an 8 cylinder car and I think that the 545/550 and equivalents are, sadly, the lasted their types. If I don't buy one soon it will be too late! Emissions legislation has killed them off.
Ive been lucky enough to have owned or at least had custody, of a variety of inline 6 and V6 engined cars, but even they are a dying breed nowadays. The MB S class is available with a 4 cylinder engine in some countries! I passed my test in the late 80's, but those who passed just 10 or 20 years later are just left with turbocharged 3 or 4 cylinder engines in pretty much every mainstream car
