[s-cars] URS4/6 maillist

[Tom Green]

Lee generally gets a little "Leeway" on his posts, since he can't  
seem to hang
on to his s-cars.  But, I have to ask how much useful information you  
have
received from this thread, Lee?  Perhaps torsen or anti-seize would  
be better
topics?  :-)

For the others, and, if you have not noticed, there are only two  
posters who
insist in continuing this thread into a personal argument about  
specifications
that have nothing to do with what Lee originally asked and certainly  
nothing
to do with the purpose of this list.

There is nice thread on A4 tires going on the audiworld A4 list that  
would be
perfect for this discussion.  Why not take it there or just privately  
email each
other?
