[urq] Greetings, Pround new UrQ owner

[Brian Cabalic]

I can honestly tell you that when I get it started and determine if actual
mileage is 79k (ie odo is still operational)

I would like to enjoy the build and drive it for some 25k miles before it
becomes a garage queen.

Probably nothing intense....just cruise it. 2,500 - 5K miles per year...if
that.

Congratulations and welcome, Brian.

Don't be afraid to ask this list any questions about the urQ, we
(collectively) know about everything about it. And despite the other tread
about revolt, we always manage to find parts to keep them running, even if
some parts are from other brands. Mine has Suzuki rear tie-rods, M-B front
sway bar bushings and diff lock actuators, a BMW center bearing, etc. But
from the outside, or at the wheel, it is a genuine Quattro...

What are your plans with it, garage queen or canyon carver ?
