[s-cars] Ownership dwindling?

[Walter Moore]

I've seen an increase in interest in these cars just since I bought mine..
various auto blogs etc where younger enthusiasts were at least looking for
one. Down here and I hadn't seen one or heard of an Ur car other than one I
bought in ages. I'm not sure I ever saw them down here when they were new.

OTOH, I'm 42, and I bought the car from a long-time enthusiast who is in
his 70s. So, yeah, we're not a young group of owners.

I visit S2forums now and then but I find I only regularly go back to
quattroworld and Audiworld.

We would rather die in our dread
Than climb the cross of the moment
And let our illusions die.”
