[V8] there is one....

[Roger M. Woodbury]

Yup.  It's all possible.  I have thought about buying a white and having it
painted to something more interesting...even have the color picked out on
the Audi V8 website....

I am watching and waiting, and thinking.  I have an idea, but obviously I am
NOT going to reveal any trade secrets to you, Kent, although I know that YOU
are totally trustworthy!

I'd think you could find a good independent mechanic local to
the car to have the t-belt changed, then drive it home. Kill
2 birds with one stone.

As for the travertine interior, strip it out, dye the leather black,
spray paint the plastic bits black, and you are good to go with a
"brand new" interior. Replace the seat heaters while you have the
seats out. And ... :)
