Hello S-Listers:

After much internal searching, I have decided that my life is changing in s=
uch a way that I will not be able to sell anymore CRBs, deal as a broker wi=
th Ebay purchases, act as translator for Ebay text and generally be of assi=
stance. I still love my Audis and haven't developed a sudden love of some o=
ther car brand. No, there are many reasons why I need to stop investing tim=
e and money in gathering precious and rare CRBs and selling them for a coup=
le hundreds buck more than I spend. Here's a small list of the reasons behi=
nd my decision:

1=2E My wife is expecting our first baby and everyone is telling me that li=
fe as I know it will end. Hmm, tell me it won't be so.
2=2E While driving back one evening with a CRB in my trunk I turned to my s=
leeping wife, saw her buldging stomach and thought to myself, why I am driv=
ing 140 MPH and risking my wife's life for $200?
3=2E I need to finish my own project cars.
4=2E I spent all last summer building crates and sending motors, transmissi=
ons and tons of little things and want to spend this summer camping, fishin=
g, having fun and not building crates.
5=2E My day job is killing me and I need to concentrate on work to pay the =
bills.
6=2E Mr. Kluge told me that the general condition of the last CRBs he's see=
n is getting worse because they do wear out eventually and I fear that one =
of these days I'll get a CRB that needs new everything.
7=2E Mr. Kluge is telling me that he wants to retire and drops hints that h=
e's tired of rebuilding 01Es.

All of these reasons plus the losses I've incurred over the last 2 years ge=
tting stuck with wrong, defective or junky parts force me to make some chan=
ges in my life. Having said the above, I have 2 stock and Kluge rebuilt CRB=
s and then there won't be anymore from me.

I hope that everyone here on the S-List understands my decision.

Kind Regards, Rob
