Subject: parts issues.....once again

I believe we should petition Audi to support the NA urq community.  We
were going to do this, but wound up not doing it based on the fact that
only a few parts were NLA ??  The fact still is that most parts that are
available, are double the price here compared to germany, switzerland
etc....even with a poor US currency value.  We were going to have the
Quattro club help but I believe the effort was abandoned.  Maybe someone
involved in the club (jon ??) can help us bring this to attention here
or in germany.........you can only fit so much stuff in your luggage and
mailing the larger heavier items can get pricey also, although usually
cheaper and more efficient than getting bent over by local audi dealers.
I don't have "audi connections" but will help as I can to get the ball
rolling, I can supply recent, accurate data on parts purchased in Europe
and brought here vs. ridiculous US dealer prices. Maybe some case
studies of restoration work be used as part of an petition??
