I was, Bruce, a few years back. I even toyed with the idea of bringing 
the drivetrain off a wrecked 6-speed S8 over from Russia and installing 
it into an American A8 but got scared off by this daunting task.

No, I will not be buying an automatic S8. The reason I am considering 
selling my beloved S6 is my forthcoming return to Russia. Alas the 10 
y/o S6 will be prohibitively expensive to clear through the Russian 
Customs. They tax out cars younger than 3 years of age in order not to 
cannibalise the sales of legitimate dealers and the ones older than 7 
years of age as not to turn the country into the world's junk yard. 
Therefore I will be taking along with us my wife's 6-speed 2004 2.7T 
Allroad for me to drive over there and possibly will be buying a used 
2004 6-speed 2.0T A4 quattro for her to drive.
