Boy, this is weird.

[Tom Nas]

Hi all,

As I'm at home with the flu and can't work on my cars anyway I decided to 
do a little work on the new-and-improved version of my Audi site. One of 
the subjects covered is the eternal 'Audis in movies' thread, so I decided 
to do an audifans archives search to complete my list. The TV was on, some 
stupid station showing reruns of US series. In between copy and pastes I 
watched the screen, and lo and behold: a scene in a scrapyard with a 
Mitsubishi Lancer (what are these called in the US?) sitting on top of a 
Sapphire blue type 44 sedan. The series was called 'High incident', some 
sort of cop show. Two thoughts ran through my head: "Geez, do I need to 
keep the VCR running *all* the time?", and "This is a really weird 
coincidence!".

While we're on the subject: does anyone want to contribute to this section 
on my site? If you can do screen captures from any videos in your 
possession where an Audi is co-starring, I'd really appreciate it! In order 
not to rekindle the thread, I'd like you to send any replies by private 
mail, please. Thanks a lot in advance!

On another matter: yesterday, I've added another couple of interesting 
items to my Audi automobilia collection. One is the third version of the 
1:18 scale models of the Audi A4 touring car racers made by UT/Minichamps. 
I already had the factory and Abt versions, this one is the Australian 
'Orix' version. Excellent detail, especially in the interior. Another one, 
this time a rarity, is the SCX (Scalectrix) Audi 90 quattro IMSA GTO racer. 
An excellent replica of this 720 hp beast which I've been lucky to see 'in 
the metal' two times so far. I also came across a couple of interesting 
brochures- '84 CGT, S2 Coupe, sedan and Avant, sales info for the 
introduction of the S2 sedan and a brochure for the end-of-the-line type 44 
100 CD.

Regards, Tom
