>>I am working on a sponsorship program for the site, but in the interim
>>anyone who cares to donate can do so using paypal to dans at audifans.com.
>>Some have suggested to me that the site provides much more value than a
>>subscription to Car & Driver or other magazines, and they would be glad
>>to pay $10-20 a year.  Well, if you've been thinking about it, now is
>>the time.

>>I don't want to do this, but another option is to make the marketplace
>>ads for-pay, but let's try this route first.

>Folks:

>I just did my part and sent Dan a paypal contribution.

>What Dan is asking for is a fraction of the money that I have saved over the years,.
>Through the lists, I learned to repair my own car using other listers detailed instructions and patient guidance,
>I started buying audi parts from Linda at Carlsen audi with a 20% list discount.
>I "found" Scott Mockry and his wonderful website.
>I "found" Rod Ramsey at The Parts Connection, and Mac at Clair Parts Connection.
>I found out that Torsen opinions vary  ;^)
>That one can drink a pint outside a English Pub, but probably not a good idea outside Redbones in Sommerville.
>That weird things can happen at Mt Washington.
>not to mention the friends that I have made since first joining the quattro list in <gasp> 1994.
>or did Paul Royal, Ian Duff, Bob Damato, Chris Miller, Chick Wells, Mike Sylvester, Mark Besso, etc...find me?
>
>So the next time you find yourself happy that you did not have to pay full price at the dealer for parts and service, because you got parts at a discount, and one of the lists helped you do the repair or upgrade yourself, consider taking some of that money that you saved and sending it to Dan.
