Good point. :-D I'll book a container on the next expedition ship 
heading that way. :) Going to have to nick a quattro from somewhere ... 
I work maybe 300m or 400m from a Audi dealership and have to watch R8s 
coming in and out all day long. I'm sure that will do just fine. :)

Probably. I used to run in a old 100 FWD before getting a 200 FWD 
(sorry, no such thing as quattro here back in the day) and just 25-26KW 
was enough to make a nice difference.

This ad does make one wonder if the old UrS4 ad had some trickery too. 
Did they actually drive it tire-less up the Andes?

Doesn't matter much ... I still want a quattro some day.
