    They don't have multiple dye lots to choose from so trying to match in reverse doesn't work too well. Garfield is always varying by quite a wide margin. First time I got some pieces in I though they had sent me the wrong leather - that's how much variance there is - just like you see in the samples you photographed.

    heh. I have a severe car and motorcycle habit as well. I've probably squandered a small fortune on cars /bikes over the years, but I sure do have fun with them! Hey, ya gotta have fun in life...

    I get bored with cars so quick, it isn't even funny. I am on #6 in a little over 6 months. The problem is I am running out of cars in my price range, that I haven't already owned..lol

    Probably nothing you would like, given my age, it is mostly highly modified, turbo AWD, japanese cars, wrx's, evo's, infinti's, etc.etc.

    I really prefer factory turbo cars, as they are usually great platforms to build from, so the next few cars will likely be n54 or n55 platform BMW's.(probably a 1) An e90 m3 possibly also. Other then that, I really would love a TT 991, or even gt3 rs at some point in my life..lol I have always wanted to own a super clean E30 m3 as well.

    I actually just picked this up recently. 2008 S2000 CR. Limited production, special edition S2000. It is geared towards the race track.

    Do you have a preference in Equestrian vs Garfield?

    Have you seen an equestrian Saddle piece in person? I am looking in the image index, but dont see any. The equestrian looks durable, however I am not 100% sure on the pebbly texture, and lack of special effects. I do like the color though.

    HA! We are on the same path, car-wise. S2000 SR is a sweet ride, I sampled a few of those at the Honda Dealership. Looks really good! Do you do track days with it? (I do D.E. Event instructing from time to time, but not as much as I used to)

    1 series BMW is VERY attractive, and I can't help but wonder what BMW is thinking with the /M release of that car and the very, very limited production on it which is causing dealers to price gouge over MSRP on it (most are only getting one). E90 M3 - big power - fun - its a bit heavy for track work though. E30 M3's.....pretty buzzy! Fun, but costly to repair. Most are either ratted out by now or cost more than their performance warrants.

    Want to see my current lust car? I would buy this in a blink. Its sitting at a dealership right now about 20 miles away, I don't sell enough sofas to own one of these, though....

    Here are my current playtoys, though most days I drive my Tacoma Pickup to the store as it comes in handy for moving furniture around and hauling cardboard to the dumpsters.

    I like Garfield for the overall beauty of the hide, but Equestrian has a relaxed, rough and tumble feel to it so its a bit more casual looking. Yes, I've had all the Equestrian colors come through the store at one time or another and they are handsome pieces. I don't get a chance to photo every piece (sometimes when its raining or snowing they have to be unpacked inside the delivery trucks). I think either will make a great hide, the Equestrian more relaxed looking, the Garfield more impressive in color and depth, but a bit slicker surface.

    I haven't done any, although I will likely do some soon.. The car handles amazing, and is a blast to drive. The CR has a lot of suspension, and bracing upgrades over the standard S2k.

    I agree on the 1 series /m. I would personally just get the standard sport, and modify it myself.. You can get a ton of power out of those things, with basic bolt ons, and there is some really nice coil-overs available for it. I was right about to pull the trigger on one, before I got this car, but these things are super limited production, and I had never had a 2 seater, roadster, so I figured next time I would go with the 1.

    Awesome collection you have there, it looks like you have all your bases covered..

    The gt3 rs is such an awesome car. It is really one of my dream cars as well, along with a TT 911. I am not sure I will ever own one, but damn if I don't try..lol

    I also wouldn't mind one of these..
