Audi technology in RC cars; Treser

[BenediktRochow at oaktech.com]

Seen in a listing of hop-up parts for some RC car
in a recent Tower Hobbies catalog (surrounded by
chromed susp. arms and kevlar chassis pieces, etc.):
"Unobtanium stock shafts".

Seen on I-495 (MA), last week: A type 44, lowered,
dark tint, with what I'd guess to be Treser taillights,
as they got noticeably greyish towards the outside lights,
looking quite the ones on Phil P.'s recent wagon picture,
with the car in that color too.
Somewhat loud dual exhaust, only "Audi        quattro"
on the trunklid, turbo lights, driven by a gentleman in
a flat cap with a long grey beard. Lister?
Looked very nice. (For all I know, I may have been
a FWD automatic non-turbo, but it looked slick
and fast.)
