Ryan,

you may want to join the NW region audi club... www.nwquattroclub.org

there is also a listserver you can find instructions for how to join it here
http://www.nwquattroclub.org/links/links.html
it does not have anything to do with the club, mostly help with cars, and
gatherings to gawk at nice cars


Hope that helps look forward to seeing you at some events

Joe
