Farewell

[tom at tomwintermedia.com]

Bon Journee, Louis-Alain

I do miss my 95 S6 Avant. There really is nothing else like that powerplant.

I'd imagine a newer turbo quattro might be in your future at some point. The
problem with Audi is how well the quattro does in the snow and how easy it
is to add a few simple and affordable mods to Audi's turbocharged engines to
end up with a nice sleeper.

Cheers,

Tom 2001.5 S4 Avant
