Well, I'm not that young and I've heard of Cary Grant and all. But, his last movie was released in 1966 and after I looked over a list of them on IMDB, I can't say I've ever seen any of them. Then again, I've never seen Star Wars, ET nor any Star Trek movies either.

I'll just say an A8, any model, is classy.

Glad you found it - probably the safest bet to avoid issues down the road.
Better resale appeal too if you ever decide to go that direction.

Besides, I would have expected an 'Oolong grey' bath, with four rings of course.... ... and crystal taps....
Just because you fancy dressing up as Graham Wynne, and own the matching wig, doesn't mean you know DIY....

I prefer this model; note the restrained yet tasteful use of carbon fiber:

Was surprised to find I'd only seen a couple of them.
Last movie I saw in the theatre was Electric Horseman - it was too expensive then so I stopped going.

Yes, classy.

Wow, that's nice one, nice view too...
Tried 3 types of rollers and lints are still in the paint. I'll have to sand it down and use foam roller for the finish this week sometimes.
At least, almost done.




Cheers,

Louis

Looks really good, too bad about the lint.

Gray would have looked fantastic there....

Looking at the old bathroom pictures and we realized we really did well although it's not perfect, but the room walls and floor weren't perfect to begin with and they're professionally built. We're complaining at each other when the our lines weren't aligned straight or even... but the room wasn't straight or even... hahahaha. Made up and everything went beautifully.

Cheers,

Louis

To be honest, the only thing I like about the D4 is the design of the interior which is updated quality and technology. Other than that not a fan of the outside of the car. Too many hard lines. If I decide to get another A8(D3), it'll be at least a 2008-10 with lower miles and CPO. They started using a donut as a spare instead of a full size. I don't know if the full size spare is an option or what. Also the trunk space is half of the depth as our D3's. It's kinda like they cheapened it up in a way. But they made the car longer in the hood area thus reducing the trunk space. The interior volume is about the same. I've sat in an CPO 2011 and experienced it for myself while my D3 is being serviced. I hope I didn't offend any D4 owners. If I did then please don't take it the wrong way.

A vehicle is a very personal choice and a huge investment, not something someone should get upset over other's opinions about

Sadly there is no full size spare option...
