Someone please rescue this car! There are few enough of the type 82s left
as it is, and this sounds like a nice simple project that could make a
really interesting and nimble runabout. Driving the type 82 I've become
enamoured with the simplicity and excellent construction of these little
cars, and I'd hate to see another one disappear...

I just wish I had unlimited funds and room to park cars, then I'd just add
it to my collection. As it is, I'm glad I've found a place to store my '78...

1978 Audi 80 GLS automatic, 85k km from new
1987 Audi 80 1.8, 269k km
1988 Audi 90 quattro 2.3E, 212k km
would like to add type 43 5T, type 85 80/90 quattro, Coupe GT to this
collection, and maybe an NSU or two...

PS Happy New Year, everyone!
