Why i drive an Audi

[Iain Atkinson]

Well it kinda started back in the early 80's when i was a kid and watching
the rallying, then this monster came along and blew me away along with the
opposition of that era, that was it hooked. One of the first URQ's i saw was
when i was 16 i just stood and stared, funny thing is this car was Tornado
Red, now i have just bought a Tornado Red one.

The thing i like about the older cars is they have character, especially the
5 cylinder ones, what a great engine that is, shame we don't still use it,
bit that's progress i suppose. Now we have two Audi's one Coupe Q plus the
URQ, both in the same colour, on UK roads either is rare sight so i guess
it's also about driving something different and people still look and admire
both cars.

I am in the fortunate position of working for a UK Audi centre on sales, i
have driven the whole range of cars as you expect, today's cars are
fantastic no doubt about it, but they don't have character nor the sound of
a 5 cylinder. In fact i have just handed back my co car to run the URQ, need
i say more.
