1976 Silver Shadow

It's not everyday one gets to hop in a Rolls and take a ride around town.  Recently I had that opportunity, and I found myself feeling most regal.  I could imagine being dressed up to go town, chauffeured, of course!

While the Rolls Royce is definetely NOT a vehicle we choose to service at High Line Automotive, we thought it was too fun, not to be featured with our readers.  Interestingly enough, we learned through a brief research of the history of the elegant Rolls Royce, that Volkswagen and BMW actually have had a part in the piece of the history if this classic automobile.  Volkswagen at one point owned Rolls-Royce, who owned Bentley. BMW came in and bought the Rolls-Royce name, freeing VW to develop Bentleys independent of Rolls, which it was happy to do.

We are delighted to service your BMW and your Volkswagen, and thank the good Lord, we don't get too many of these at High Line Automotive!

Thanks for reading, we wish you a prosperous 2012!

Audi R8 Spyder car of the month for September!

Audi sponsored Best Buddies Challenge at Hearst Castle

You may have heard of the event Best Buddies Challenge that takes place once a year along the central coast.  This year we had the opportunity to be a part of the VIP party after the ride, and concert at the dairy barn.  To our pure delight, there were spanking new Audi's ALL over the place!  It was SO awesome to see the new designs and technology in person.  The Audi R8 Spyder was defintetly a highlight to be able to check out up close, too bad they weren't offering test drives!  We're pretty sure that the V10 engine with the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) would have taken the drive up to the hilltop just A-OK, with no problem handling the turns and at a high speeds to boot!  Even though we didn't get to go for a ride, we were thrilled to be a part of the event, next to swimming in the Neptune pool, and being a stones throw from Teri Hatcher, the Audi R8 Spyder was certainly a highlight!  So, on to the specs....

The Audi R8 is luxury and sports car rolled into one.  It boasts a V10, 5.2 Liter engine, it can go from 0-60 in 3.7 seconds, that's fast enough for us!  With real time traffic built into the navigation and blue tooth microphone built into your seatbelt, what more would you need?  Of course along the Central Coast, traffic isn't much of an issue, but the combination of flying low while talking on the phone built into your seatbelt, now there's luxury at it's best.  Being mechanics, we thought the LED light engine comparment was a handy feature.  Hope you enjoy, we sure did, it never hurts to dream right?!

Here is a bit about Best Buddies and what they do, they are an awesome organization!

Best Buddies is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to establishing a global volunteer movement that creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

Founded in 1989 by Anthony Kennedy Shriver, Best Buddies is a vibrant, international organization that has grown from one original chapter to almost 1,500 middle school, high school, and college chapters worldwide.  Best Buddies programs engage participants in each of the 50 United States, and in 50 countries around the world.  Best Buddies’ seven formal programs – Best Buddies Middle Schools, High Schools, Colleges, Citizens, e-Buddies, Jobs and Ambassadors – positively impact nearly 700,000 individuals with and without disabilities worldwide.  Best Buddies volunteers annually contribute, at no cost to their communities, support services that equate to more than $164 million USD.

As a result of their involvement with Best Buddies, people with IDD secure rewarding jobs, live on their own, become inspirational leaders, and make lifelong friendships.

This year the Hearst Castle event raised over $3 milliion for this fantastic organization!
