Nostalgia

[Steve Marinello]

Yes, there are still some of us around from the
original ur-list.  I've even still got the '83 urq stuck in the garage 
with its' list of unresolved problems and upgrades...and a 16 year old 
son lamenting that I don't get it out enough.  And that's sort of how it 
seems to have gone.  Now the S6 sits and waits for work to be done while 
I drive the GTI, which I certainly don't like as much as either of the 
other two, but who has the time to enjoy them anymore. 

I think the East Coast mafia has it better than most of us...there is a 
relatively connected group of mildly insane people that keep the spirit 
waving, even if they are mostly a lot younger than I am.  And we all 
have the common bitch about what Audi has become, impressive 
technological advances aside...

I miss Satch and Phil...and even the occasional flaming explosions on list.
