I asked our chairman to take up the issue of 20V parts prices with Audi
but I'm pretty certain nothing happened - it's not the sort of issue
that worries him and he jealously guards the interface with Audi as his
own personal property.

Sorry I couldn't persuade you to join the club.  Several people have
suggested that we form a club that's genuinely interested in making the
ur-quattro more accessible and affordable for 'real' owners, but I'm
afraid my activities in Germany are now taking up too much of my time.
I may become involved in the umbrella Audi owners group ('Dachverband')
in the near future.

A late low-milage 200Q or 100TQ?

Yes, we've had a couple of V6s in the Club - our treasurer had one for a
while, but I think he's sold it.  hicklingpastures at netscapeonline.co.uk
if you want to ask him about it.
