20v Chumpcar?

[John Cassidy]

Sometimes you have to put up or shut up. Dave is the proud new owner of an intact '91 200q.  $501.  Gone but not forgotten!  I hope your trip home was uneventful Dave.

BTW, after sitting for 2.5 years in the unheated garage, it fired up with a jump, ticked for a few seconds, cleared a little smoke, then settled into a smooth quiet idle.  No CEL.  Sure wish Audi still made cars like that.
