[s-cars] Double the trouble, double the fun...

[Fred Munro]

Thanks Dave :)

It's actually a '97 (December '96 build); the last of the best so to speak
:). I don't think it's been a garage queen but it's very clean - only a
couple 1/4" spots of rust starting on the diff subframe that I'll get to
this spring, otherwise looks mint underneath. It's previous owner was a
doctor who used it to travel from Toronto to Sudbury, so it's probably the
black S6 I've seen around town on occasion. He thought 145k was getting up
in mileage for the long commute, so he bought a newer A4 from Lang Motors
and traded the S6 in. He actually wanted a neu S4 but Lang couldn't find him
a good one at the time.

Black cars usually get washed a lot. I saw a study done in England that
sought to determine whether pigeons preferred to deposit on certain colours
of car by observing the number of droppings on cars in London. It concluded
that pigeons preferred to poop on white cars and avoided black cars but
included a little disclaimer that the car owner's frequency of washing their
vehicles was not polled, which kind of made the entire study invalid. They
probably just observed that black cars get washed more often than white cars
:)

Fred (and Jeff P.):  I hadn't even looked at that thread (probably the
"trouble" part kept me away), however, this afternoon I bumped into the
thread and saw that you scored a nice 96 (US 95.5) S6.  Then I see Jeff P.
make a comment about me and my crusade against S-cars going off to the
States and I HAD to comment.  SO, congrats Fred a) on buying another S-car
<sucker for punishment> and b) keeping the car from going south <it might
have otherwise been bought by one of our Vancouver club members>.

Several of our Vancouver cars came from Toronto or Montreal.  A really nice
black on black 96 S6 was just "imported" from Quebec to Vancouver last
month.  It is very clean (I don't think it saw salt).
