[V8] colors....

[Tony and Lillie]

I had a friend in MT that was Cayenne with Black sport interior, and that is 
my favorite color combo to this day.
I worked at a dealership in MT, and cleaned quite an array of V8's. But that 
was about ten years ago, and I couldn't begin to remember them all. The one 
that sticks out was a Tornado Red 5-speed with dark Virgin Wool interior. 
Never seen another like it.
