A bad Audi week

My recent vacation to see the family in Australia seems to have started
a chain reaction of Audi events.  An Aussie mate was schedule to pick up
my family and I from the Airport on Wed in my 200QA.  His Audi saga:

Sun:	The 89 200 Sedan I sold him a couple of months ago boiled over
	in the mountains west of Denver.  He had it trucked to my house.

Mon:	He tries the LT1Q.  Both door locks wont work! (and no small child
to send
        through the ski sock hole :-)

	He eyes the 930 but figures (correctly) that I will kill him
        if he uses it.  So he tries the 200QA.... dead battery, finds
the
	charger gets it started.

Wed	The Avant needs a jumpstart... damn splice not helping things.  We
        get home from Airport and gain access to LT1Q with the help of
        one small child.  I lend him the LT1Q to get home, he calls me
        from downtown... the clutch master (or slave) is going and the
	car wont shift. :-(  I nurse the car home in the 3rd as the LT1
        motor pulls from 900 rpm just fine.

Thurs	Passenger side Euro lens on Avant is cracked from stone, the
second in 4 months!

My house currently had four cars and the only one running is a 23 year
old Porsche!
Now snow is schedule for tomorrow.  Looks like I know what I will be
doing over
the weekend.

Cheers
