[V8] Neat looking A8 on ebay-why can't we get that? And, my ideal T44

[Tony and Lillie]

I finally looked at the pics of this car. Very nice. Here's my question. Why 
can't the average Joe get this kind of equipment on his car? You have to be 
the president of AoA to get burgendy piping on the seats, RS wheels, etc? 
The car I would want isn't even available :( A4Q 2.0 with cloth sport, for 
starters

On a side note, these pics get me thinking. I've dreamed up my ideal T44 
many times. The interior would be the most unique. I'd do a black dash, and 
door panels. I'd do S4 seats, Ecru or grey, with matching leather inserts on 
the door panels. HOwever, the sides and backs of the seats would be black. 
Black everything else. The leather on the wheel would match the seats. Nice 
stereo (which I'm planning on doing to mine soon-Bose finally dying).
The power train would be an A8 4.2 (300 or so is enough for me) with a 
6-speed. Everything else stock, but new. Especially that loose bolt that 
keeps klunking, and the rear tie rods that squeak :-)
