Ok, so I just push the clutch to put it into 5th after pulling onto
the 401 and the engine dies.  Great.  I coast to the side and pop the
hood.  The coil wire is off the distributor cap, with a little bit of
the charred cap still stuck in it.  Luckily it still fits back on,
kinda and I can restart.

I stopped at the only auto parts shop in town that stocks Bosch but
they have none in stock.  Price would be about $20 but only here on
Monday.  I checked at the local Audi dealer, $45, zoiks, I guess I'll
wait or drive the truck for the weekend.
