Report on New Quattro Transmissions for Sale From Germany

[Steve Eiche]

Fellow listers,

As you might remember, listmember Robert Braunschweig posted awhile back
offering new quattro transmissions from Germany.  I just received my ADZ
code ('91 200q 4:11 TOR$EN) transmission.  It arrived just as promised
and in excellent condition.  Many thanks go to Rob, who arranged
shipping (got a great rate BTW), took care of the paperwork and took
great pains to make sure everything went smoothly the whole way.  Having
shipped other parts from Europe, I can say that this transaction was one
of the easiest and quickest I have had.  Now that Rob has shipped a
couple of these transmissions to the States, the next ones will probably
go even better.  

For anyone considering the purchase of one of the transmissions Rob
listed, I will gladly answer any questions as to shipping, etc., that
you might have.

Thanks Rob!
