[s-cars] Re: Living at altitude - Apexi and turbos

[Peter]

I think I'll just sell my car and buy Hap's when he gets bored with it and
picks up a used RS6.  I'll probably need a pilot's license first tho..

Seriously, I _may_ be selling my S4 and my MR2 in the coming months as I am
in need of a fairly capable off-road (and on) vehicle.  I have too many cars
as it is and don't want to buy a piece of junk just to get to the future
cabin which has become my no. 1 priority.  I am going to put a deposit on a
Touareg and wait to see what US trim and costs are.  If anyone may be
interested in purchasing in the next 6 months or so, let me know.
