Longevity question...

[I.S. Gall]

Well I ran into a 89 200qa in downtown Palo Alto Ca today with aprox
400k on the clock...

I think you have PLENTY of time if all the maintenance has been done.

I've cc'd the owner of that 400k beauty, Steve, because he hadn't
heard of the list before... figured that we'd have to get yet another
Audi addict into the fold here.
