Speaking of......
Was going to post pics of my (humble) A8 but my friend sent these of his new W12. Every option available, prices out at over 200k Euro. He said that the main aftermarket shop we both have used over the years will soon introduce burlwood inserts for the interior of rear armrest (for those of us w/ NWB D4s) and are thinking about a similar rear bumper/exhaust set up as well.

A bit too much contrast going on in the interior for my taste, however...
...I do like the W12 rear exhaust/bumper treatment. I actually sent Anthony Foulk the A of A A8 product manager a letter last Summer inquiring if we could have that set-up added to the non W12 order guides as a stand-alone option. I'm sure no one would be surprised to hear that I never received a reply from him.
Let's see the pics of your "humble" A8. IMHO, I'll bet it looks far classier than your friend's W12 :^)

The stitching on the seats is quality. Your friend is a fortunate person indeed. It's good to see a close up of the rear.
A small thing, but the wooden gear shifter, I noticed that in the summer it gets uncomfortably warm when the car has been sitting in the sun. Nothing we can do about it, and I still prefer it over the standard leather one.
Thanks for the great pictures.

Here's another pic of that armrest cavity - I do believe I would like mine veneered in burl if it won't get knocked around when using the ski sack. BTW, there is a smaller cavity behind the little ski sack door where I put the manual, etc - it really doesn't fit in the glove and its nice to keep that empty for using the cooling feature.
