Second car

Vincent...I have had an 02 Allroad 6mt for several months now.  Has over 150k on it.  Bought it ridiculously cheap but have replaced the air suspension with conventional spring set up and replaced a number of other suspension bits while I was at it.  Also replace the intake gaskets, etc. and now have about $7k into it.  Have put over 3000 miles on it since purchase in late September, with no problems.  Get about 18mpg around town (very light-footed...mileage really drops for a heavy foot) and about 22 mpg highway with stretches over 80 mph where possible.  This has replaced my 91 200 TQA (which I still have and drive as well...it is on the market) with over 195k on it.  Entirely different feel.  The Allroad is very light and crisp handling...makes the 200 feel much heavier.  Cant comment on the other vehicles...and yes, what is a "training roadster", anyway?  Tom
