[s-cars] Ownership dwindling?

[Peter Golledge]

I'm handing down an 89 200TQ to my son at 16, my daughter is coveting 
the 95 S6  however will only manage to get that when I can convince wife 
to move to something newer. :-)  So there are some younger folk getting 
into older Audi iron, really have to have a family into cars though...

The 89 200TQ was purchase from long time lister Robert Myers in WV ~ 17 
years ago IIRC.

Cheers
