Doesn't look like this message went through...so trying again.

This recent 91 200TQ vs S4/S6 debate got me looking at alternatives to an S=
4/S6.  I had driven 2 S4s...and both had their issues....well, up on S-cars=
 was this ad:

<http://www.s-cars.org/Classifieds/Listings/ClassIndex/Audi200/a2c0054/a2c0=
054.html >

So, I called, and went to see it.  Turns out, I know the car, very well...I=
 had been stomped, throughly in my rocco by this beast years before...and h=
ad always admired it.

So....after a test drive...the car...is absolutely perfect.  Not a ding or =
a scratch to be seen, faster than both the modded S4s I had driven...and ha=
ndled nicer too.  I fell in love, and put a deposit down.  :-)  If all goes=
 well from the inspection, it'll be in my driveway come late next week.

Here is a couple of crappy pics:

Huge grin on my face....driving the rocco home was fun, in a different, mor=

 on the test drive....thought I was doing 85-90 max...now that is impressiv=
