[s-cars] RS2 sighting-again

[Tom Green]

For those naysayers still out there, visit this link to vwvortex for  
some personal reports that go back to when Audi NA owned the car as a  
show
vehicle.  It was at an area quattro club event when it was new.   
Since then, the owner has been more low profile but certainly not  
hiding it or
keeping it as a garage queen.  It is regularly seen in the PIT  
airport parking lot, Sewickley motors, etc with current plates, and  
has generated
sighting reports for the last 10 years.  I believe the owner is  
connected well enough he is not worried about the small stuff on this  
car, but it
could be troublesome to transfer the registration.  This pearl white  
avant is no sleeper with the big flares over the cup wheels, air dam  
bumpers
  and  side skirts, and those bright blue alcantara inserts in the  
recaro seats.

IIRC, there was some stuff about the 4  RS2 coupes that Audi  
supposedly produced, but I know nothing about them.
