[s-cars] Cashmere/Black S6 Avant on Wisconsin Craigslist...

[Peter Golledge]

Amazingly in 15 years of cycling through an 87 5000Q, 89 200TQ, 89 200TQA and now the 95 S6 my wife has never been
stranded!  Every time something happens to these cars (say a coolant neck fracture) its always when I'm driving.  In
a couple of cases she has had to tow me home with her Audi. :-(

Even the "Frankencar" LT-1Q with all sorts of weird wiring hacks, coolant pipe hacks and body work held on by
cable ties has only stranded me once.

Of course the S6 started a nice coolant leak over Xmas due to a coolant neck fracture so my beloved is currently
driving the truck, her description: "F250 Turbo Diesel quad cab long bed 6.5m parking nightmare".  The good news
is that makes her appreciate Quattro as the "manual shift to locked 4WD" and the resulting awful driving on snow
is really something to behold. :-)
