Besides my bepoved Audis I own a WMB M6 which I purchased new in 1988.
For me automobile nirvana arrived when the urQ and the M6 were side by
side in my garage. Never one to leave well enough alone, Mr. Dinan and
Mr. Fahey sold me a few goodies just to raise the fun quotient. After
installing the "stuff" I called on my good friend (and resident NYSP
trooper) and asked him if he wanted to go for a test ride. He agreed,
(foolishly) so we headed out to Rt. 17 in upstate NY "to see what it
would do". well....I can tell you that with the new rev. limit of
7800rpm (thanks to Dinan) and the lost kittys (thanks to Fahey) if you
hit the rev limiter in all the gears the speedo reads 153 mph when you
shift into 5th gear......the expression on the face of your passenger,
reads something else.
We passed a rolling radar, who was going east bound just before Roscoe
exit, my passenger say "Oh s...". I replied "I guess we'll be getting
off here and taking the back roads home eh?" "Yep" sez he. It was the
talk of the annual F Troop summer barbecue though. My friend asked him
if he turned around after we went by? He said "For what"? German
performance cars sure do make ya smile!!
