[s-cars] S-CAR-List Digest, Vol 99, Issue 16

[Calvin Young]

Guys,

I sold my beloved Audi S4 and would lije to offer the group any parts I 
have.  I have two passenger side door shells, plus a wastegate and exhaust 
part plus a few other minor parts like switches and relays.  I also have a 
nearly new Audi jacket.  If you are near the DC area give me a shout and you 
can get this stuff exceedingly cheap or free.  I will not keep it long 
thought.

You have been great over the years.

Cal
