Thinking about an allroad

[NIck Miller]

Where are you located with the TDI allroad?  I didn't even know they had
them in Canada, which may mean you could somehow smuggle one into the
states.   I see by your email you are from New Zealand probably.  How lucky,
I love that country.  Spent more time in Aus though, than NZ.

I always forget the Allroad when looking at more modern audi's, it wouldn't
be a bad substitute for an S6 avant or A6 if you're looking.   What is the
real hook of the car?  Jacked suspension and the ttV6 as options in the
states?
