1991 200 20V at champagne motors colorado

[Paul Waterloo]

Taka-

Excellent points. I agree. As you mention, I miss "launching" my 91 200q
with the perfect clutch slip. However, not as much as I enjoy the A8!

Now if I could get a six speed manual for this car, it would be hot! It does
push quite a bit, can't go around corners like the 200q. However, it is an
incredible value for the dollar!
