[urq] Audi at Mosport this Year - All should read -task invitation

[Martin Pajak]

I agree with Mike,

The parts that are needed to keep the car going (moving) or related to
safety (suspension, brakes etc) HAVE to be available..
Lack of them is simply inexcusable by whoever manages their parts program.

The last one I found to be NLA is... drum roll...
Brake flex hose for the front brakes.  Huh??
Ridiculous...

Mike H had a great idea... with all the NLA parts all of us should take
our cars to the dealer, drop it off and give them a list of parts we would
like fixed... obviously all of them from the NLA list... maybe even the
same things like early front ball joints, or sway bar bushings...
Maybe that would send them a message... hmmm.. few hundred requests for
the same part.. and we don't have it.. :(
