[urq] goofy fenders?

Wed Dec 1 00:16:54 EST 2004

bet ya a buck two fifty if any of us contacted them (Rick and Dave) and
asked them if it had the 2.4 liter turbo engine(we always see those, common,
right?) they would say yes, notice the "Quattro" logo in the 1/4 window is
missing the black little squares though the resolution provided should, and
the door logo with the "four rings of death" from that era courtesy of 60
Minutes is also missing the black dots. the car is either Extremely rare, or
a POS, prolly the latter, I really like the muffler, looks like Stebro
service quality that one of our friends is dealing with. Best to You
Brandon, sorry about my sarcasm kinda, well not really, Bill PS of course I
used sphall chuck for this reply, and AVG too. B PPS Brandon? don't you
think the car would look better higher off the ground? would show the
exhaust better
