>Sean (and S-gruppees): In Canada, we're special. We didn't get the 91
>20v200 (3B engine) in any body style. (We didn't deserve them. We're bad
>and we needed to be punished.)  We didn't get any 92 S4's.  Just 92 spec
>S4's (with all the goodies) labelled as "93's" (even had "P" code
>VIN's). With one small exception, we do have the 92 Cyclamen S4 "ZZZ"
>code Audi of Canada show circuit car.  (I know where it is, and I am not
>telling.) Then we got the carbon fibre 93's (without all the goodies)-
>like mine.  After the 94 S4, we got the 95 S6 and, ....wait for it...
>instead of 95.5's like the USA, we got "96" S6's (the USA got "none").
>And to be real special, we did get a few "97" S6's (but not many - maybe
>70 in all Canada) when the USA got none (Ca-na-da!! Ca-na-da!!).
>Non-patriotic types have sold some of these rarities into the States for
>...money!  Unbelievable.  Hey, Igor, hows your car running?  Did we tell
>you about the "Canada" worm that is in the ECU software?  Its going to
>delete the code the next time Canada wins World Hockey (keep driving,
>you're safe.... for now ; ))

>In all of that, I believe that we got ZERO S-car Avants.  In fact,
>finding any 92 to 97 Avant is quite rare.  When they are found, they are
>typically V6 with an automatic.  I once found a 94 cyclamen (maroon
>metallic) on ecru leather 100 Avant at Audi of Richmond but it got
>quickly sold to some freak in Trail BC. (I wanted that car!!- er, for my
>wife).

>Sean:  We are having a S-car group meeting soon.  I will email you
