High mileage 5k/200t 10v question

[JShadzi at aol.com]

Sure, in fact one of my first Audis, an '85 Coupe GT had 180k miles when I bought it, I drove it to 230k, rebuilt the head and changed the headgasket, mainly because I ported the head, sold it with 250k miles, the guy that bought it from me drove it to about 300k and sold it last year, and now the new owner is driving it past 310k miles with no real apparent motor troubles.

..and, this is not some grandma driven car, I drove it hard as have the subsequent owners.  Still burns minimal oil, very good motors.
