Default Audi Coffee Table

We recently sold a V8 engine block to a customer who makes car related furniture and this is the result. The block is a D2 4.2 V8 and his website is www.engine-tables.co.uk if anyone is interested.

You'd need a W12 to hold a whole case, no good using a V8 as a wine rack.

I cant find it for sale in his shop, was it bought to order or sold already ?

I think they look pretty awesome...

Maybe they'll do an A2 3 pot version for the budget conscious...

I would prefer a bit "rougher" version that would look more like just pulled out of car and put together in shed instead of this clean polished type which looks like it could as well be Chinese version made from plastic, but it's just personal preference.
