That is most interesting, Striker. When I picked up the car from the original owner the family was literally in the midst of moving from their long-term residence. They had looked high and low for that key and were baffled by their inability to find it. Thereafter, I had a replacement made at Germain Lexus (not cheap!). Now we know what happened to it. Thanks for sharing!

I was gonna say it's technically a VW lol! The A8 and big dog VW are twins of a sort anyway so you had me really looking at the picture to make sure I wasn't going crazy.
If you ever come down here you are welcome to drive mine, keep it under 150 though lol!

So this new C63 with the 4 pot, you guys think it will sell over here? They ripped out that snorting V8 for this.
I don't see these being in high demand but I could be totally wrong. Just hearing it start would be a dealbreaker.
