300K is nothing for an Audi

[Marco Weibel]

The comma for decimal separation must be a case of (mainland)european manufacturers' ignorance of the imperial system.
I used to drive by the VDO plant in the Rhein Valley (Rüthi) Switzerland where they made the clusters for the early 80s VAG lineup.
I remember well telling my dad to slow down to gaze upon the numerous Coupe Quattros and 2 Baby Quattros
(red and dark green) on theyr parking.

Off-topic... those trips usually started at the carpentry where my dad worked in Triesen, Liechtenstein. As my dad fueled our silver Jetta i ran across the street where " Lehmann Tuning " prepped the latest Rally Quattros. 
Lehmann is still there but now preps modern Scoda and Seat Rally cars.
I cherish those memories :)

In all cases I get out after stopping the car to show people it's real, not photoshopped...
