[s-cars] Audi suprises at the ring today...

[Keith Maddock]

Greetings from Germany!

Thought you all might like to share in the suprise I had today when I went
to the 'ring after work to get a few relaxing laps in during the evening
open-hours..

Take a look! :)

RS2, RS6's, and new V8-S4's !!!
Serious mega audi drool action :)

Apparently the new cars were there for some Audi marketing deal - give some
"preferred customers" a hot lap or two around the ring...

The RS2 just happened to show up, and find all of his offspring there!  They
were quite suprised to see all the other cars there...

Also saw (but no picture sorry) a new A3 also with Ingolstadt plates - had a
nice chat with him and he said the 5-door model is coming to the US, as
close to German spec as possible (we joked about the US Spec UrS4's -
especially springs)..  The car he had was powered by the 240hp 3.2l VR6, and
it wasn't even the S3 model...  I asked, so when does the RS3 come?
"Later..."  The only disparaging comments he had was about weight.. Seems
they are a bit porky like all the other new Audis recently :(  Pretty soon
our cars are going to seem like featherweights :-D

Enjoy,
Keith
