I used to get flashed by A1 and A2 GTi's when A2 GTi's were king and I
was the only one around running a Euro grille. When they came out with
the big bumper, Euro look-alike set up, my car no longer looked unique
and I could've been one of many, no more recognition. No recognition
whatsoever from A3 and A4 owners. And other than other type 44 owners, no
recognition from other non-lister Audi owners either, 'cept my neighbor
with her A4 1.8TQ with sport package.
