[s-cars] New S-6 Avant and a minor problem to diagnose

[McCall, Randy]

Thanks for the welcome Eric, but been driving Audi's since '91 (5000S,
5000CS, 200 - 10V sedans) and been in the pseudo S club since I bought
Robert Anderson's old 200 20V Avant 6 or 7 years ago, and my now wrecked
95.5 S-6 Avant. I just re-upped my membership rather than moving
downstairs to the B-7 A-4 club! 

Evenutally I'll get the other insurance company to do something besides
stall and I can buy back the offended vehicle for salvage.  There's some
very nice brand new stuff on that car I'd like to have for this
one...including the F5PDOR's!
