Quieter than in past years. I think the rain scared a lot of people off, still a decent show though. I think the only bmw present was an orange isetta. 

Glad I didnt miss much besides the great wine. Thanks for the cliff notes.

Working on getting new clothing set up that will be made to order, I just need to order some samples.

I have access to a D2G machine. Text me and I can get you (CHEAP) prices, and I can also update designs if you are interested.

Coolant is just dyed, color doesn't really matter (but I see what your getting at)

Besides that the other really cool takeaways I saw really change my perspective on that car and the engineering that went into it. The cracked rods, the intercooler design, the oil flow paths, and overall how compact it all is. The one thing that does suck is working on it will be annoying as you have to take a lot apart to service just about anything.

+1 coolant color.  I really liked the inception manifold design.  That's kind of of neat and a nice space saver but I'm concerned about what that's going to cost.  I wonder how it will limit the aftermarket.

Same. I wonder if its made using a lost-wax casting process. I see they have ports in the head to have access to that manifold and the internal runners.

I'd have to look closer, but I bet it's 2 or more separate molded parts that are then sonic/heat/solvent welded together around the AWIC core.

The exhaust manifold set-up is crazy though.

I was referring to the exhaust manifold...

Ah, sorry for the misunderstanding.  I suppose that is possible, but there doesn't seem to be anything magical there that couldn't be done with conventional sand casting.
