Heh.  You could be right there.  My other car is a Miata, and I am
still getting used to the very different driving style demanded by the
Audi.  I'm starting to get the hang of braking earlier and using the
quattro to haul the car's bulk through the corner.   Definitely
different, but still fun in its own way.

I've received several recommendations for this place, so I think I
have my answer :)

Thanks Theodore, and any everyone else who responded.
