Bye, Bye 4000Q

[Steve Meyer]

What a sad day. I miss my 4000q everyday(almost everyday). My addiction started when my dad had a '86 fwd 4000s back in about '89 or '90. I got my first 4kq in '96 and havehad 2 others and 3 90q's. If I get around to selling my '72 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible then I will buy another, but it's hard to find those good garage queens like yours. I've got a 90q getting ready to be my daily, so I can move my wife to my '02 A4q Avant and out of her MDX. That leaves room for one beautiful white,silver, or graphite 4000q in my garage(and maybe a 100csq avant as well). I hope the new owner takes good care of it as you have.
 
slm

Yesterday I watched my last 4000 Quattro drive off into the sunset. In the  
trunk was Bentley and all the spares.  In 1989 I found a 82 4000,  which 
obviously sparked my desire for a Quattro. In 1992 I found my first  Quattro 
which necessitated the search for a 'family' of like minded individuals  to 
keep the car running. This is when I discovered audifans. I was probably on a 
286 with a land line connection but the mechanical help I was able to 
receive  was invaluable. Since 89 I have gone thru 2-4000's, 2-4000 Quattros  
and a 80 Quattro. I kept them running with the help from this list. There was  
just something about the two 85 4000 Q's that was so addictive that I was  
even started searching for a URQ. I never scored on the URQ, and in  
retrospect, as life became more complicated, I really didn't need another hobby.  
My last 4000 is gone, it was a 'Garage Queen', just too nice to be a Daily  
Driver. The car has a new owner, a new life and now I can get back under  the 
hood of my 96 A4 2.8 Avant and try to fix that #!&#ing collant  leak coming 
someplace out of the rear of the motor.
Thanks audifans for the help over the years....I sure there will be more  
questions soon.

Jim
