audi a5Ever since I posted a Featured Slideshow item on the front page back in mid-August which shows the new Audi A5 shell by SMI Motorsport, I've been hunting around to buy one. Shepherd's online shop finally had some for sale so I promptly ordered one and because their online payment system was not fully implemented, I had to wait for the invoice to be emailed to me.

Well, I got the invoice today and I have to say, I was gob-smacked. No matter how much I love the look of the Audi A5 shell, I'm just cannot bring myself to pay 43.90€ for it. At today's exchange rates, that would be approximately USD 65.60 or GBP 40.15 or MYR 221.12.
