Hello Audifans,
My old 87 5ktq is sitting out front in another Ohio blizzard, with its two
jointed wiper arms at attention in a drift that has taken up residence on
the hood and windshield.
I want to thank Dave Conner again, for so wisely including those jointed
wiper arms in the relief package of wheels he brought to Sandusky about ten
years ago. The extra set of wheels have been very useful, but the jointed
wiper arms unexpectedly made every winter a much easier
experience....because the car sits outside all the time.
I appreciate them today, right now in this blizzard. Thanks Dave. They
work perfectly and are still like new.
It is remarkable how the old 5ktq keeps starting and running in all kinds
of bad weather, year after year. The odometer reads over 300,000 miles.
When the really nasty gales are howling and I have to go somewhere and get
back home, I depend on the Audi, and am reminded of what a unique and noble
machine it really is, and how much I respect it and the engineers that made
it happen....even the ones that designed the door handles and the footwell
splice.
