That's going to be one awesome build guys. Love the concept, dig the drive line, and really like the wheels you've picked.

Greg,

The R8 story was a good one and had me chuckling here. First time I saw one of those was a few years ago when Calgary was the kick off city for the infamous Bull Run. Four of us were headed to Montana on our Harley's for a day ride when an hour south of town we were blitzed by an R8 that went by us at warp 5. About 3 miles later he was stopped on the roadside with a Sheriff parked behind him. We laughed and rolled on as the cops were waiting for all these guys headed stateside out of Canada. About 5 minutes north of the border we were doing 80-90 and rolling in the hills when that same Audi passed us again.

This time he was at warp 7 and must of past us doing at least a buck eighty or more because we watched him disappear down the valley and over another rolling hill in a matter of seconds and that was a long ways from us. It sounded wicked when he blasted by us the second time and it was obviously WOT. Nice car for sure and I'm thinking your wife agreed. I'll bet your stock moved up on that move. I know my wife would be tickled if I bought her an R8. Gotta wait until she's done hauling the kids around before that happens though.

I wanted to put that on her car -- she didn't want it - but I thought it would be perfect.

Funny how many people see the car and ask that EXACT question!

We just chuckle to ourselves later.

That is a color called TEAK BROWN -- Drove over to Audi to see it.... it looks great in this rendering - but is totally boring brown in "the flesh". BUT -- I found another color called DAKOTA GREY that is a grey brown that I sent to Rodger yesterday that is pretty close to the rendering that Sean drew up.

Here's a couple of iPhone pics of a color called DAKOTA GREY -- kind of interesting - and plays different tones in different lights!






Same color -- different light!







A color of upholstery they had -- so just put the two together for some "thoughts".

Color looks really nice Greg! there appears to be a ton of flop to it from the pictures. How does it look outside?

This is going to be a sweet build Greg. I've always loved those bubbletops for some reason.

Yeah -- we've flip flopped a lot! Oh wait.... you're talking about the colors! Yeah -- it was amazing to see it go from brown gold to grey brown... which is what I kinda liked about it. The other color - Lava Grey - goes from medium grey to dark grey... with a larger metallic flake. I really like both of them.

Might have to have a couple panels sprayed out and live with 'em awhile....
