Good to see you back, Luke...
It is impossible to see a modern Audi without remembering your praises of a couple of years ago for the RS7. High praise indeed from someone with your experience. As the time approaches to consider another car, the RS7 comes into sharp focus when previously it wouldn't have been on the long list, let alone the short list. Still: so many cars, so little time, no?
Pleased to hear you are still alive!
Cheers,
pplater.

and after a long trip in Hell...I am back.... no, not having fun, just serious work... being a car designer forces you to do unforgivable duties bloody business trip......
it has been a really long time since my last post...
i have to apologise, the workload, some surgery required after being just too foolish on the road... has forced me to go dark greetings to my fellow PuristS Luc
We are all glad you're back Luc !
Today i went thru hell ... imagine having to drive a Clio RS and a EVO10 to Holland ... 2 lanes .. speed limit most of the time 70 or 100 (kph) .. i managed a 6,9 L/100 km .. unseen :-) ... the MOST boring road trip in my life ... . After dropping the EVO...
Thanks Filip, i know how you felt, i just crossed Europe to go to Geneva
in a GTC Speed and the engine probably caught a cold by working at 2000revs all the way through Switzerland... ...

Heuvel-motorsport in Holland ... they know what they're doing apparently .. i didn't dare to ask to take pictures :-) Filip
Ummm....
Looks like you are hard at work luc00, if you ever need an assistant give me a call LOL! But seriously, it's so cool to see when someone is enjoying their job. Be safe and have fun out there! -MW
Ok, stay close to your phone Ming...
It is a dirty job but somebody ' s got to do it... Glad to be back here! Cheers Luc
Looks very similar to a ride that we and a few other PuristS
made in Dubai. If LUC had only stopped to take a photo of a Jumbo in the sand. JerryW
that was a lot of fun and...
something I will never forget, it was one heck of a ride! Good times, look forward to more in the near future! -MW
Lucky guess on my part.
Welcome back LUC. Glad to see you have been working on my request, a 3/4 size Bentley GT. Already put my name on the list if the EXP 10 is produced. I think these wheels will hold out for a while. Best, JerryW ...
Beautiful set of wheels! You have definitely the right taste!
just been to a worldwide dealer conference and everyone wants the EXP10, so you can start configurating yours! ;-)
Welcome back
Hi Luc, great to see posting again. The Bentley EXP10 is gorgeous! And looks like you're having some fun at work tossing around the Porsche in the sand. Reminds me of a PuristS GTG in Dubai where we took out SUV's for offroading trip. So much fun. ps - So...
Thanks ED, well i will be landing in LA for one night on the 16th
Are you around? Will be staying at the Shutters in Santa Monica. Cheers Luc
Really cool photos and fun jobs, welcome back. There's a believe...

High praise from a car freak, nothing else ! ;-)
may the force be with you to guide your choice ( for the RS7, LOL) Thanks for your kind words And yes car addicts should live longer, fully agree ;-) Luc
ROFL...good one Luc
and nice to have you back of course Your last work at Bentley is magnificent If I remember correctly last time you "visited" we haven't had dedicated Automotive forum... so it looks like we got afraid you left for good and made one :) :) Best Damjan
Welcome back Luc00
Glad to see you're doing better, a hello from a fellow V8 Naturally Aspirated, the true successor to the LM002. S ...
Thank you, indeed happy to be back, i missed the PuristS.
beautiful Cayenne! . I just ordered on saturday a Macan turbo for my wife. Test drove the future GTS but cant wait, she needs a car now. Take care Luc
Nice business trip!
Just to remind you, it gets even hotter in Dubai! Welcome back Luc! It'd be nice to see how someone with your sense of design would configure a Porsche Macan Turbo... Colors, options, etc.
I might disapoint you with my configuration Patrick,
I only like black cars ( or grey or white) when they belong to me because i always get really fast tired of colors. So my wife's macan is black with no chrome, no aluminium, even the lights are fully black, the sportsexhaust is black and the 5 spoke class...
Nice!
Luxor Beige interior is nice, but in the US, the dashboard can't be specified to be black. At least that's what they said at the dealer. Are you able to get a black dashboard? I like dark dashes because I'm sensitive to reflections.
