[urq] "Team Door handle"

[TWFAUST at aol.com]

It was my post that started this thread. I don't recall how long I have  
been on the list. But here is a bit of humor. Back in the mid 90's, I bought a 
 '90 100 from a "Donation Lot". The price was $450 and marked on the 
windshield  with "Won't Run". Thanks to the "list" I was familiar with the 
driver's key  operating the ignition kill without locking the door. I asked for the 
key to  "check it out". Unlocked the passenger door and crawled in. With no 
one looking,  it started right up. I relocked the driver's door, went back 
to the desk and  bought it. I had it towed out, thinking that if I drove it 
out, I could never  come back.
 
"Team Door handle" Earlier I had a '86 TQ Avant. When the door handle  
finally went, I went to a junkyard to find one. Of the 5 Audi 5K's in the lot,  
not one had a door handle left. Someplace in my workshop I still have the 
tool I  fabricated to lock the crank against the frame to undo the crank 
pulley.  That is also thanks to the "list". Let it not be forgotten that Audi 
used an  Oldsmobile controller for the air conditioning.
