[s-cars] Ownership dwindling?

[Tony Curran]

Interestingly here in Ottawa there are a few sub 30 year old owners - alas
not me tho!!!

BTW, there is one being parted out right now.

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.
