        Canada, being caught in the middle, has the best (Worst?) of both
worlds.  I say that we change the topic over to something a little more Audi
oriented.

        So....   How about that Derek Bell?  And don't forget Micheal
Galati.  I like them.  Actually, I like their rides (Speedvision S4's).
Open to discuss?  Does anybody care?  I Still don't have those pics scanned
of the Istook/Aines Grand-am S4's at Mosport.  I'll do it soon.
