I actually heard about the meet up in Utah. Several of my buddies with GTI's and some SoCal Audi guys actually went to the show. I was gonna make the trip with the GTI buddies but I got lazy in the last minute. Perhaps I should try making it next year.

I'm glad you're still working on the car. What are you doing to the interior?
Huh, thats way cool. I bought mine used off ebay for dirt cheap so I didn't get all the documentation of different ways it was able to be connected to a computer, but thats good to know in case I ever misplace my spare VGA cable.

Yea, the meet was way far out, you totally should have made the drive, it would have been worth every dollar. Definitely try to make it up next year, its going to be even bigger since the organizers will have more time to get things put together and get the word out further, especially after how much of a success this year was.

But yea, just doing small things here and there to the interior as I have funding; following devil's example, but of course with my own touches. You all already knew I did the suede on the beltline trim, that's been done for almost two years now. Just before EuroFest I covered the rear deck with suede as well, but a color to match the upholstery, and then added a little accessory for good measure:
Next in line is dying various accessories like the sun visors, sunroof controller, etc to match the dash, putting black suede on the pillars, and then I know what I want to cover the headliner with, but haven't found it yet, and am going to leave it for a surprise But yea, thats all a slow process, between rarely having time to fiddle with stuff like that between two jobs and school, money's tight and suede ain't cheap haha But I'll throw out some random updates here and there as I get stuff done

Good... Afternoon! I'm enjoying a cold Monster; I know it's not coffee but it's too hot for coffee right now. I like how you integrated the rings into the rear deck. It looks nice.

gold coast blend has been my coffee of choice lately, but I think they ground it too course. It's not quite as bold as I had expected... pretty good though

More Gold Coast... oh, and a hot shower with the lights on, as opposed the the 2 days worth of cold showers in the dark...

I have way too much rank now for that ****... haha!

No coffee right now, just an ice cold gatorade after a quick run in the Virginia humidity. That was a dumb idea

Justin - I will definitely try to make it out next year. I haven't taken the Audi on a long drive in a while. I hope nothing will break.
I really like what you did with the Audi logo. You've definitely added your own twist to it and it looks really good!

Brad - How did you wake up with DD sitting bedside? The $10 hooker came with donuts?

I'm having my self a cup of iced one today. It's been way too hot over here (Temperature has been around 90's in the past 3 days). I can't wait til rainy season.
