With the 2011s we picked up a couple, and members sold a couple...so still half a dozen short.

Anyone know how to repair a leaky bucket?

A leaky bucket? I'm usually pretty good with different terms for car parts (windscreen=windshield, for example) but bucket is one I don't understand.

Leaky bucket: when used to carry water up a hill, loses much of what you started with by the time you get there. Also see "three steps forward, two steps back."

That said, now five cars short for the 2011.

Now ONE car short for the 2011. Maybe we can finally include it in the survey next time around?

To get this done:

Other years are about one-third of the way.

I just singed up with my 2011 A8. Hopefully that will put you over the top!

I see you apparently don't have data for the 08-09 S8's. Is that right?

Thanks. It did, and I added the 2011s to the survey. Then one person reported that theirs had been gone for a while, so we're back down to 24...

The 2011 will remain in the survey, but we continue to need more of them.

If a stat isn't reported here, then we don't have one for that year, though not for lack of trying.

The 2011 Audi A8 will in the round of the survey that begins in a few days. It would be helpful to have even a few more.
