okay so it's only kms.......

the '85 coupe quattro rolled over 200,000 tonight, I pulled
over at to the side of the road and took a few pictures.

at exactly 200,003 kms the accelerator pedal fell to the floor.
I knew what had happened. I slowed down and reversed off the
road slipping the clutch at idle.

i now have pictures of the dash at 200,003, and a zip tie
holding the knackered rubber bushing on to the top of the
pedal....

i know these things fail (Lino 2005 UPG) but I figured I
had another year at leaast :)

"ur-quattros - a way of life - at least until Audi discontinue it"

p.s. given tomorrow's date, this is a good number to get by,
anyone clocking up combinations of sixes tomorrow should be
extra vigilent #:|
