[s-cars] NAC, and now no turbo content either

[Adam D.]

Does it count if my dad frequents the A6 forums on AudiWorld and my mom the
TT forums?  What can I say?  We're a family of freaks!

TTFN,

'93 S4 (my daily driver)
'86 5kcstq (my track beater)
'00 A6 2.7t 6Speed (Dad's)
'00 TT 180cqm (Mom's)
'96 A4 2.8q (too small, replaced by A6)
'85 4000s (the one I learned to drive on)

Technically, I didn't ask for the Corolla either.

I was all set to buy it with my own money from a family friend, when they
talked to him and bought it themselves.  Smart move on their part, as they
then had a lot more legitimate control over the vehicle usage!!!  (I was a
tad irked but I survived...)

Am I perhaps the only lister on here whose Dad is also on this list.. ???
:-)

Cheers,
Keith

Keith:

I did not even ask my parents for a car (I know I am not going to get it
anyway).

They gave me a Suzuki GP100 (2 stroke 100cc motorbike).  I did not even
get my first car until 2nd year graduate school.
Talk about dating on a motorbike (with lawnmower engine) rain or shine!
